Alton Cedar Greenhouses
Since 1921 Alton greenhouses have been well-known for the finest quality Canadian Red Cedar providing them with a long life and a strong, stable frame.
- Designed and manufactured in the UK
- The Alton Evolution range is the modern version of these classic greenhouses, manufactured in-house at the Staffordshire workshop
- 10-Year Frame Guarantee
- The greenhouse frame is guaranteed for 10 years against rot - just clean it once a year in January/February to remove dirt or algae
- Western Red Cedar frame
- Western Red Cedar is perfect for greenhouses. It readily absorbs moisture and gives it up and dries quickly without warping or moving very much. It is full of naturally occurring preservative oils which make it virtually immune to rot and act as a deterrent to many insects and pests
- Range of styles
- Standard apex, Victorian, octagonal, lean-to, and combined workshop/greenhouse models
- Toughened safety glass
- 3mm toughened glass throughout, with large panes for a neat appearance and easy cleaning
- Automatic ventilation
- Roof vents and louvre side vents included as standard to prevent overheating
- High eaves height
- 5ft 7in (1692mm) for more headroom and a better growing environment
- Metal base
- Keeps the cedar framework off the wet ground on every model
GLASS OVERLAP ON ROOF
This means that no wood is exposed to the roof water run-off.
GLASS OVERLAPS WOOD AT THE BASE
By sitting the glass onto the metal base, no wood is exposed to the run-off water from the side of the greenhouse.
GUTTERING SYSTEM
Protects the sides by removing roof water. Aluminium gutter each side and a plastic downpipe each side. You can also collect the rainwater.
METAL BASE
Included on every model, the metal base keeps the Cedar framework off the wet ground.
BAR CAPPING SYSTEM
To securely retain the glass. Includes cedar bar capping as standard, with an option to upgrade to a 'moss' colour powder coated aluminium bar capping if you prefer to reduce the amount of Cedar that is exposed to the elements.
RIDGE CAPPING
Aluminium 'moss' colour ridge capping with ball & finials either end is included on every model, for added strength and durability.
TOUGHENED GLASS
3mm toughened safety glass as standard throughout. Larger panes also have a neater appearance and are easy to clean.
EASY ACCESS SLIDING DOORS WITH NO STEP
Low profile door threshold, safer and easier access.
AUTOMATIC ROOF VENTS
Included as standard, these have a sturdy aluminium vent hinge and open automatically as the greenhouse warms up, preventing overheating.
LOUVRE VENTS IN THE SIDE WALL
Manually adjusted, these draw in cooler fresh air to keep the greenhouse ventilated.
HIGH EAVES
5ft 7in height of lowest walls gives more headroom, a higher door, room for a high level shelf, more air in the greenhouse for a better growing environment.
