Materials, Frame & Glazing

Comparing to the other Palram greenhouse ranges, Glory is even more durable, rigid and structurally sound. The main aluminium frame is 50% thicker than Palram’s standard framing, with additional reinforcement bars for added strength.

As standard, you’ll find a galvanised steel floor frame, which offers a sturdy base for which to install your new greenhouse on top of. Both the main frame and steel base are rust and corrosion resistant, offering a long term solution to growing your own at home, with virtually zero maintenance required.

As for the glazing, it would be hard to find a higher-quality polycarbonate option than this! 10mm thick polycarbonate glazing envelopes the frame, offering a highly efficient way at providing the right atmosphere for your growing plants inside.

The polycarbonate, a plastic-like material is highly durable and classed as being “virtually unbreakable” by Palram themselves, proving how much pride they have in the quality of this glazing option. Not only is it 10mm thick, but it’s twin-walled, with an air gap in between two walls similar to double glazing windows so that it’s able to retain heat a lot more easily than single-sheet versions.

The polycarbonate is also UV resistant, meaning that the panels won’t discolour or fade over time, as well as being able to filter out 100% of harmful UV rays, while still letting in up to 80% of light transmission.

Overall, this glazing type is of a high standard thanks to the 10mm thickness, while also being a practical way at making the most of retaining the sun’s natural heat inside your greenhouse for your plants and crops to enjoy from dusk til’ dawn.
