Distinctive Greenhouse Design
The Alton Westminster Greenhouse stands out with its wider and taller profile, giving it a stately presence in any garden. The combination of half-paneled wood and expansive glass exudes timeless appeal, blending seamlessly with nature while offering plenty of light and room for growth. The steep roof pitch is not only visually striking but also practical – allowing snow to slide off easily, making it an excellent choice for gardeners in colder climates. The spacious interior and ample headroom make this greenhouse perfect for both cultivation and relaxation, providing an inviting space to immerse yourself in your garden.
Durable Construction
Constructed with 100% Western Red Cedar and an aluminum base frame, this greenhouse is built to endure. Western Red Cedar is an ideal material for greenhouses because it absorbs moisture without warping and dries quickly, maintaining its structural integrity. The wood is naturally resistant to rot due to its high content of preservative oils, which also emit a pleasant aroma that deters insects and pests.
Additionally, the use of thick glazing timber bars (44x44mm and 44x69mm) provides exceptional strength and stability, unlike many modern greenhouses that have reduced thickness to cut costs.
The aluminum base frame prevents direct contact with the ground, minimizing the risk of early rot and extending the greenhouse’s lifespan. Over time, the cedar will age beautifully to a silvery grey, enhancing its natural appeal.
Superior Jointing System: The clever mortice and tenon jointing system simplifies assembly while adding strength to the framework, ensuring a sturdy, long-lasting structure.
Quality Glazing: Equipped with 3mm toughened safety glass, the Alton Westminster Greenhouse offers panes that are 5-7 times stronger than standard horticultural glass. These large panes not only enhance the structure’s rigidity but also shatter into small, rounded pieces if broken, reducing injury risk. The glass fits tightly within the cedar frame, ensuring a secure environment for your plants while providing durability and safety.
Enhanced Insulation & Durability with Bar Capping: The aluminum bar capping system tightly grips the glass, integrating it into the greenhouse’s strength to prevent rattling and create a more stable structure. Rubber seals between the glazing and aluminum improve insulation, while the Moss Grey color complements the cedar as it ages.
The natural insulating properties of cedar help reduce temperature fluctuations, creating a more stable growing environment. Historical studies have shown that wooden greenhouses, like Alton’s, produced heavier crops with less watering and required less heating than aluminum models, showcasing their superior thermal efficiency.
Superior Ventilation
Two roof vents with automatic openers and two large louver vents provide excellent airflow, preventing heat buildup and promoting a healthy environment. The automatic openers use heat expansion to gradually open the vents as temperatures rise, fully adjustable to help you maintain the perfect growing conditions without manual effort, enhancing your gardening experience.
Elegant Accessibility
The lockable double-hinged doors with a low-level threshold and tall eaves provide easy access and ample headroom, combining practicality with refined style.
Sustainable Water Management
The Alton Westminster Greenhouse features an integrated aluminum gutter system with UPVC downpipe for efficient rainwater collection and reuse, promoting sustainable gardening practices.
