Glazing Options

On all Elite models the following glazing types are available...

Horticultural glass
Available in 3mm thick overlapping glass sheets.

Toughened safety glass
In the event of a breakage, the glass granulates removing any danger of injury. Elite only use Grade A toughened glass to EN 12150 which is primarily in full length sheets providing a neater finish, especially with bar capping, and removes any overlapping glass where algae and moss can often be a problem.

Polycarbonate
UVI treated 6mm thick, twin wall with silvered edges and, like the toughened safety glass, it comes in full sheets and is a great option where children and pets are concerned.

Remember, when handling any type of glass the upmost care must be taken as it is extremely fragile when not in situ. It is also advised that safety gloves and goggles are worn.

Bar Capping on full length toughened and polycarbonate glass.

Bar Capping provides a stronger hold for the glazing, and also adds a decorative finish to any greenhouse. The rubber fin also adds a better water seal between the frame and glass. Capping is used in addition to wire clips so in effect will add double protection which is ideal in more exposed areas. The capping is simply tapped into position where the unique serrated peg engages with the aluminium bar, which as you can see, does not leave any unsightly screw heads showing like some other manufacturers.
