This glass greenhouse is a multi-span glasshouse built for commercial flower and vegetable growers who need a permanent structure instead of a seasonal cover. The frame is hot-dip galvanized steel pipe with a double-sided zinc coating that resists rust in humid and coastal climates. Aluminium glazing bars hold the glass in a special grooved channel, so panels stay fixed against wind and weather. Glass spans a range of 8 to 10.8 metres, with 4 to 5.3 metre structure heights set to your plot. Covering can be clear float glass or tempered glass where impact resistance matters, giving light transmission above 90 percent. Add-on systems include cooling pads, heating, irrigation, ventilation and external shading, fitted to your requirements.
This glass greenhouse is a multi-span glasshouse for commercial flower, vegetable and fruit growers. It uses a hot-dip galvanized steel pipe frame with aluminium glazing bars, and covers the structure with clear float or tempered glass. Because the frame is built as a permanent structure, it suits growers who want a house that stays year after year rather than a film cover that is replaced every few seasons. The glass house is also a common choice for retail flower displays, seedling operations and botanical projects where appearance and light quality both matter.
The frame is made from hot-dip galvanized steel pipe with a double-sided zinc coating in the 200-275 g/m2 range, which is the layer that keeps the structure from rusting in humid or coastal air. Aluminium glazing bars sit in a grooved channel profile, and that channel is what locks the glass panels in place against wind and driving rain. Where a site sees hail or heavy handling, 5 mm tempered glass can replace the standard float glass. The gutter and gable roof design carries rain to the ends of each span instead of letting it run down the walls.

Spans and heights are set to your plot, so send us the site layout and crop plan and we will size the house to fit.
A glass house is usually a controlled growing environment, so the systems matter as much as the frame. Cooling pads and exhaust fans hold summer temperatures down, while heating keeps winter nights above the crop threshold. Irrigation can be drip lines, sprinklers or an ebb-and-flow bench setup, and external shading screens cut peak summer light for light-sensitive flowers. Ventilation is handled through roof vents, ridge vents or side vents, depending on span width. Benches, seed trays and gutters can be added to match the crop you plan to grow.
Structures ship as a metal frame package with covering, glazing accessories and installation notes. Steel sections are bundled and, where needed, boxed for container loading. Our engineering team supplies drawings and guidance through the build, and if you want support on site we can send engineers to guide installation. Many of our greenhouse buyers visit the factory before the order is placed, and we welcome that.
Glass lasts a long time and it does not yellow or sag the way a soft film cover can. Light transmission stays high year after year, which matters for flower colour development and for vegetable crops that need strong light. The frame can carry the weight of added systems, so a house bought today for cut flowers can later be fitted with benching or climate control. Our main markets are Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, and we build to the climate of the destination rather than a single global spec.
Cut flowers, potted flowers, seedlings, leafy vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers and soft fruit all grow well under glass. The key factor is light quality, which glass delivers better than most film covers.
We supply the frame, the glass covering, glazing accessories and installation notes, and we can add cooling, heating, irrigation, ventilation and shading systems to the same order.
Yes. Cooling pads, exhaust fans and external shading screens keep the internal temperature manageable, and we size the ventilation to the local summer conditions.
Glass itself does not degrade like a film cover and holds its light transmission for decades. The galvanized frame is designed for a 15-20 year service life, with a 10 year structure warranty and a 5 year anti-corrosion warranty.
Yes. Buyers visit our factory regularly, and we are happy to arrange a visit, show sample sections and explain the build before you commit to an order.
