Garden centre glasshouse

Garden centre construction

Garden centre construction with glasshouses and greenhouses built from hot-dip galvanised steel and aluminium sections.

Design, manufacture, installation

The best garden centre starts with the right choice

In garden centre construction, all our structures are made of hot-dip galvanised steel and aluminium sections and tubes. Their service life is practically unlimited, with no maintenance.

A garden centre glasshouse is covered with single or double glazing or with polycarbonate sheets of various thicknesses. On a greenhouse we use single or double inflated film, LUMISOL CLEAR.

Ventilation can be through the roof and the sides, with the option of automatic, time-controlled ventilation.
