Aluminium Greenhouses

If you are looking for a modern appearance, an aluminium frame is hard to beat. With many advantages (detailed below) our aluminium framed greenhouses are most often silver in colour, but powder-coated finishes of black, green, and grey are also available. They come with high impact polycarbonate roof and side panels, or toughened glass to ensure fantastic build quality and insulation.

We source our aluminium greenhouses from two leading top-quality manufacturers, Palmako and Halls. Our Palram Canopia aluminium greenhouses have five year guarantees, whereas our Halls aluminium greenhouses have guarantees ranging from twelve to fifteen years.

Metal greenhouses – what metals are used?

Well, as this page is named “aluminium greenhouses” you will not be surprised to hear that aluminium is a major metal used. Aluminium features in the frames and has many advantages (see the section below).

Aluminium frames are lightweight and therefore a steel base (usually galvanised) is needed to increase weight and provide a heavy, solid foundation, which maintains stability, particularly in high winds. This steel base makes the structure more permanent in nature than portable.

Another metal used is cast iron, which is frequently used in security items such as bolts and padlocks.

What are the advantages of buying aluminium greenhouses?

There are many advantages to consider, starting with the ease of assembly, which is greatly helped by how lightweight aluminium is as a material to handle.

Although lightweight, aluminium is a deceptively robust material and is built to last being sturdy and durable enough to withstand the worst of the British weather.

Unlike other metals, aluminium will not rust, and unlike untreated wood, it will not rot. When you buy an aluminium greenhouse you buy a maintenance-free option that will not require annual treatment. All that is needed is the occasional wipe-down to remove any accumulated dirt, grease, or grime.

Blending nicely with modern décor schemes, aluminium enables slimline window frames to be fitted, which enables a larger surface area for panels than other frames.
