Our Greenhouses

Greenhouses to suit any garden or project

Award winning Victorian aluminium greenhouses

We create and design the finest Victorian aluminium greenhouses that are built to stand the test of time. We are endorsed by Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and partnered with the National Trust, for creating fulfilling and satisfying growing experiences in the most beautiful greenhouses. At Alitex we are proud to create both aesthetic and functional greenhouses.

From large bespoke aluminium greenhouse projects, to our official National Trust Greenhouses, all Alitex structures are built with the highest quality aluminium for a beautiful lasting finish.

National Trust Greenhouse collection

Since partnering with National Trust in 2004 we have donated over £1 million which goes towards the wonderful restoration and conservation work undertaken by the Trust. The National Trust Greenhouse collection consists of eight greenhouses in a variety of sizes and design shapes that each cater to an array of horticultural needs.

Bespoke Greenhouse projects

We produce in our view, and that of our customers, the finest greenhouses in the world. Since the 1950s when we first began, the elegant Victorian aesthetic, expert engineering and horticultural performance has come to be expected of ‘an Alitex’. We work with designers and gardeners around the world to bring their unique visions to life, from small awkward locations, a painstaking greenhouse replication to a grand statement, we have breadth and depth of experience. Take a look through our design services and trade pages for inspiration, or get in touch to discuss your own vision.

Popular FAQ’s

Can I use my own builder for the greenhouse base?

Yes, we will provide you and your builder with a detailed ground plan and the building notes to ensure the base is constructed to the correct specification. 

What kind of glass do you use and what happens if it breaks?

Our greenhouses are single-glazed with “low-e” (short for “low-emissivity”) 4mm toughened glass. We cannot guarantee against breakage, but we can replace any broken panes for a small charge.

How much ventilation does a greenhouse need?

Ventilation is a critical part of growing under glass. Our combination of roof and side vents creates a ‘chimney effect’ inside the greenhouse that encourages air circulation and prevents unhelpful through drafts. The number of opening vents is designed according to the needs of each individual greenhouse to give the optimum level of ventilation. On larger greenhouses, vent depth can be increased accordingly and electric motors added for precision control.

Does an Alitex greenhouse ever need re-painting?

Unlike timber, it does not need regular painting and treating. We do recommend regular cleaning and prompt repair of any paint damage to maximise the longevity of the coating. We provide a 10-year warranty on our standard finishes.
