Toughened glass is approx 700% stronger than horticultural glass so it is far harder to break. When it does break, it disintegrates into hundreds of tiny pieces, so it is far safer than horticultural glass ( which can form dangerous daggers of glass when broken)

However, the main reason that the toughened glass is now so popular is that it is supplied in large sheets- so each side and roof panel is just one pane- This means that there are no overlaps between the panes (with normal horticultural glass, you get a 10mm overlap between every pane, these fill up with dirt and algae and become unsightly) With large pane toughened glass, you get a greenhouse that looks far neater, is easier to keep clean, and of course is safer.

Your new greenhouse is designed to give you enjoyment for many years. For piece of mind, all our greenhouses have a free 10-year frame guarantee. This valuable guarantee against any manufacturing faults also extends to your choice of metal base and powdercoated coloured finish.

Exclusions include moving parts, glazing, wind and accidental damage.

These handy devices open vents automatically and don't require batteries, working from heat alone. Also, they tend to allow the vent to open more than a conventional manual opener, equaling better ventilation.
