TIMBER
Our chosen timber is hand selected 5th grade red wood pine. Timber is graded in numbers IE, 3rd / 4th / 5th and unsorted. The lower the grade the poorer the quality. We use Russian 5ths which is the highest quality pine available. It has smaller and fewer knots than the lower grades and has a tighter grain for better stability with less natural movement.
TREATMENT
To ensure our Greenhouses are fully protected against all different types of fungal, decay and insect attack we have our timber treated with the next generation Tanalth E preservative which provides protection for 15 years.
FIXINGS
We use stainless steel nails and screw throughout our whole manufacturing process to stop any corrosion and unsightly rust stains.
END GRAIN SEALER
During manufacturing we sand all open end grains and give two coats of end grain sealer which provides a water based barrier that penetrates in to the grains and seals it reducing moister uptake by 90%.
PAINTS
We know that a large percentage of our customers love there garden buildings to be painted. This gave us the idea to designed our own in house Spray booth specifically designed around the garden buildings we manufacture with its own separate drying room. This enables us to control the quality of the application, drying times and conditions to ensure you get a amazing finish product.
Please note that all our painted buildings are pre treated with Protim. This is a active treatment specifically designed for under coating systems. With the right after care it has a minimum life expectancy of 20 – 30 years.
When you choose a painted building we go through quite a lengthy procedure to ensure you get the best possible paint coating. Before we assemble any part of your chosen building we prep and end seal all end grains. Once the panels are assembled we fill all the nail heads and seal them then re seal any open end grains. We use a three coat paint system. One stain blocking primer and two external top coats
We use Protek Royal Exterior paints because after our own trialled tests the protek paint stood the test of time. We love the fact that protek is water based and contains linseed oil meaning it is environmentally friendly with no harsh or toxic chemicals. There products have also been independently tested and approved as child safe, pet safe, and plant safe and it also acts as a treatment helping to prevent mould and fungal.
GLASS
All toughened safety glass is used which complies with the British Standards.
DAMP PROOF
We provide a 15mm thick plastic damp proof barriers with all our free standing Greenhouses that goes all the way around the bottom to keep the building off the ground out of any sitting rain water and we also provide a damp proof coarse for our dwarf wall greenhouses.
