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.
Bespoke greenhouse projects
At Alitex, we believe – and our customers agree – that we create the finest greenhouses in the world. Since the 1950s, our name has been synonymous with elegant Victorian design, expert engineering, and exceptional horticultural performance. Every Alitex is crafted with care and distinction, whether it’s a clever solution for a small, awkward space, a meticulous replica of a historic structure, or a striking statement piece. Collaborating with designers and gardeners across the globe, we bring unique visions to life with a depth of experience and a commitment to excellence.
National Trust Greenhouse collection
Since 2004, our partnership with the National Trust has contributed over £1 million to the Trust’s vital restoration and conservation work. The National Trust Greenhouse Collection features eight beautifully designed structures, available in a variety of sizes and styles to suit diverse horticultural needs.

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?
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?
