Description

Keen gardeners with ambition should look no further for a greenhouse than the 12ft x 16ft Classique from Elite. The frame is superbly manufactured and the interior tremendously spacious, all the growing space and working area you've always wanted.

Beginning with the aluminium frame, you have a range of choices to create a bespoke greenhouse. Instead of the silver milled aluminium finish you can choose a powder coated finish in several colours. If you want different glazing, there's horticultural, toughened and polycarbonate. Bar capping is also available.

During the summer your greenhouse will benefit from four roof vents and two five blade louvres, these can be upgraded to open automatically and you can fit more to ensure a good circulation of cooling air.

Staging and shelving is of course essential if you want to sow and grow your own plants. And there's plenty available along with a wide selection of other accessories and modifications.

Although the lockable double doors are wide and high, you may need trouble free wheelchair access, in which case a low threshold can be installed. This is also useful if you are continually going through the entrance with a wheelbarrow.

A rainwater collection kit is also a worthwhile accessory and, unless you want the trouble of building one yourself, a preformed base is a wise acquisition. To divide off certain areas, a partition is a useful addition and less practical, but no less popular, are crestings and a finial to decorate the roof.

Option 2 > Choose Your Greenhouse Glass

We offer three different types of glazing: 3mm Horticultural Glass which is pre-selected by default, but you can upgrade to single sheet Toughened Glass or 6mm Polycarbonate Glazing here.

As Horticultural Glass is included in your frame price it is a NO COST option. The additional cost of Toughened Glass or Polycarbonate Glazing is indicated below.

Please Note: Greenhouse glass images below are for guidance only.

with 3mm Horticultural Glass

Horticultural 3mm float glass as traditionally used in greenhouses. This is the standard minimum specification and is INCLUDED with your frame choice. Provided in traditional panes which are supported using overlapping clips. This type of glass isn't recommended if you have children or pets around due to the more fragile nature.
with Single Sheet Toughened Glass

Toughened to British Standard Class 6206 Grade A and European Standard EN12150 for maximum light and extra safety. All toughened glass models in this range utilise full sheet glass in the roof and side walls. This makes for a much cleaner line with no build up of moss or algae where the sheets of glass would normally overlap.

£773.00
with 6mm Polycarbonate Glazing

As well as the safety element it is a superb insulator, with the air trapped between the inner and outer skin acting as a mini double glazing unit. This will reduce winter heating costs. To aid growing polycarbonate defracts the sun's rays twice as it passes through the twinwall. This effect disperses the light far more evenly around the greenhouse. Supplied in a full sheet format and offers a more opaque appearance.

£897.00

Option 3 > Do I Need a Base?

Yes, quite simply you do. Greenhouse frames need to lip over a base (or upstand) which also allows the door to lip under the frame. The base also gives you the required height needed inside your greenhouse. Without a base your greenhouse would be 5ins too low.

Preformed Alloy Bases are available in either milled silver aluminium or powder coated to match your chosen frame colour. All Elite Supreme Bases come complete with a drop door option which gives a low threshold. Alternatively, you can build a brick base but you will need to be accurate with your measurements.

No Alloy Base Required

Select this option if you intend to build your own Brick Base. Please note that the number of bricks used in the base height will result in a higher step-over into the greenhouse. Overlapping cills demonstrate a need for accuracy when building a brick base.
with Milled SILVER Alloy Base Frame

The perfect match to you milled silver aluminium frame.

£323.00
with Matching Powder Coated Colour Alloy Base Frame

Colour coated to match your chosen coloured frame.

£501.00

Option 4 > Bar Capping?

Bar capping is a continuous strip glazing system used instead of glazing clips, this gives a far neater streamlined appearance. It's made from PVC and is UVI treated.

For a more detailed explanation of what bar capping is, see our handy Bar Capping Guide here.

Please Note: Bar Capping is NOT suitable for use with horticultural glass. But is recommended for use with single sheet toughened and polycarbonate glazing.
