White victorian-style greenhouse within a walled garden. It has a flat-fronted lobby

Victorian style greenhouse with a flat-fronted lobby surrounded by green foliage.

The Chambers

The Chambers has a flat fronted lobby, which creates a focal point drawing your eye to the greenhouse. This is perfect for adding extra detail to your garden! While ideal in size for smaller garden environments, the internal layout offers ample growing space, which can be customized with various benching configurations.

To make the most of your growing space, our greenhouse shelves are positioned at eaves height and optimized for plants that require higher levels of sunlight. This allows you to utilize the space on your bench for seedlings and younger plants. For watering your plants, our reservoir and pump are the perfect solution. Rain water is collected in the gutters and transferred automatically into the reservoir. You can then pump this into your watering can and use on the plants around your garden.

All of our Victorian greenhouses are built to last in durable, low-maintenance engineered aluminum, with 90% sourced in the UK. We design and manufacture all of our greenhouses in the same location, at our HQ in Hampshire, UK.

Sir William Chambers designed The Great Pagoda at Kew, which still stands today as 250 steps leading to pure spectacular views across London. We chose to name this greenhouse in his honor, our most popular medium sized greenhouse with a flat fronted lobby.

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.
