The Burton

Named after the Palladian house and world-famous landscape garden in the care of the National Trust, The Burton greenhouse has been designed with practicality and beauty in mind. A stunning addition to any moderate to large-sized garden. The distinguished gable-ended structure offers ample internal growing space.

Introducing vine wires to grow taller, climbing plants is one simple way in which you can maximise the space you have available within The Burton greenhouse. This method of planting also provides your structure with an attractive display of plants.

Details & Personalization

Once you’ve chosen your greenhouse style and colour you also have the opportunity to embellish your greenhouse further.

Cresting – this runs along the ridge of the greenhouse, you can opt to remove the traditional cresting for a more contemporary look.
Finials – these are the decorative points that are traditionally situated at each end of the greenhouse roof and at the front of each lobby. You can choose between ball or spike finials, or no finials at all.
Spandrel – Our spandrels are decorative as well as structural. These cast iron fittings are available in the Alitex A emblem or a rose design.
Door Furniture – We have three standard door handle choices with the option to upgrade to a further two designs. Your hinge, hook, and plaque will compliment your chosen door handle finish.

Materials

All of our greenhouses are made from aluminium and glass, which is infinitely recyclable. We are often asked why you should choose an aluminium greenhouse. As one of the planet’s most inexhaustible resources, aluminium is a sustainable, lightweight and high-strength material. It is extremely resistant to rust and corrosion, therefore the perfect choice for creating beautiful glasshouses that will stand the test of time.
Your greenhouse frame will be powder coated, low maintenance and durable, meaning your structure requires very little effort to keep it in such good condition when compared with other materials.

Materials

Our greenhouses are constructed from aluminum, a material that is infinitely recyclable, aligning with our commitment to sustainability. The finishing touches, including spandrels, finials, and cresting, are all crafted from cast aluminum, mirroring the techniques used by the Victorians. Additionally, each greenhouse is equipped with 4mm toughened safety glass for enhanced durability and safety.

Paint & Finish

Our structures undergo a powder coating process in our factory, followed by baking in our ovens to achieve a tough, durable, semi-gloss finish. We provide customized colors and finishes to suit your preferences, including a marine finish option designed to withstand the harsh elements of coastal environments.

Ventilation

To ensure optimal ventilation for your plants, our greenhouses feature vents positioned on opposing sides, creating a chimney effect. The manual opening side vents are situated below the gutter line, allowing air to be drawn through the automated roof vents. This setup facilitates adequate airflow and ventilation within the greenhouse environment.
