How To Make A Traditional Greenhouse Today
Big or small, ‘Messenger’ or ‘Traditional’ design, all
Alitex greenhouses have the same high level of
finish and attention to detail.

Greenhouse production; high precision engineering |
It’s all about detail.
Our two glazing systems; The Messenger and The Traditional are flawless
celebrations of horticultural function. The greenhouses are composed of
precisely engineered aluminium extrusions, sustained by stainless steel fixings
combining to create excellent structural integrity with a clean interior
uncluttered by excessive supports.
The Messenger was created in response to the growing demands for timber
replication in aluminium. Structures such as those in the grounds of listed
properties, conservation areas and heritage sites, demand such detail and the
Messenger is unique as the only aluminium greenhouse on the market which
satisfies this criteria. The development of a mechanism to hide all fixings within
the body of the structure, an aluminium door which matches the beautiful
timber doors in both look and weight and a specialist clipping system which
holds the glass in place without screws has created a greenhouse that answers the many needs of Britain’s period manors, heritage sites, conservation officers
and America’s tough planning laws.
The Traditional greenhouse matches the engineering excellence of the
Messenger and, whilst the internal fixings of the greenhouse are visible, the
elegant lines and proportions of the structure compare favourably with the
very finest greenhouse in production today.
Why aluminium?
First and foremost, Aluminium is low maintenance, requiring none of the
scraping, sanding and repainting of timber. It ‘moves’ far less than timber, thus:
our glass does not work its way loose, hinges and moving parts do not require
constant adjustment and nothing degrades. The greenhouse you buy will be a
legacy, bringing as much pleasure to your grandchildren as it will you.
Designs are tested in our 3D computer studio and everything is put together in
the factory to ensure fit and to foresee the unforeseen. Ultimately, your
framework is protected by a lifetime guarantee.
We do not simply erect a solid structure, but a beautiful one, a glasshouse as pleasing to the
eye as it is perfect for its function. Designed and built to BS5502, BS6339, BS8119 & BS1474', you will have no gaps, no niggles, no painting and no loose ends.
