Elite are a British based family firm who have been designing & manufacturing quality greenhouses for over 50 years. With all the components used within their greenhouses conforming to British Standards & with a manufacturers 10-year frame guarantee you can be assured of a quality product designed to enable you to make the best use of space available.

Elite have designed the Craftsman High Eave to provide gardeners with more height to eaves & ridge providing extra working height & more valuable growing space compared to other greenhouses of a similar size.

Standard Features

Framework
A sturdy, maintenance-free aluminium frame with strong, with extra roof bracing as standard for increased strength. Integral guttering along the length of the greenhouse provides extra strength at the eaves & enables easy rainwater collection with the addition of a Rainwater Collection Kit.

Finish
The frames are available in either plain aluminium or with a smart, durable powder coated finish. Available in white, green or brown & supplied complete with neat bolt head covers (black covers with green & brown finish, white covers with white finish) the coloured finish greatly enhances the overall appearance of the greenhouse.

Whatever finish you choose the frame is easy to keep clean – you can keep plain aluminium looking good by regularly washing the framework with soapy water whilst a coloured finish needs very little attention.

Glazing
The greenhouse is glazed to the ground for maximum light transmission. You can choose from either:

Horticultural Glass – 3mm horticultural glass which is held in place using strong, stainless steel glazing clips.
Toughened Glass – 4mm toughened glass to BS 6206 Grade A. Choose this high quality glass for added strength (for example when greenhouse is to be located in an exposed area) & safety (for families with young children, pets etc.). The toughened glass is supplied in large panes so fewer joints or overlaps are required, improving the appearance of the greenhouse.
Polycarbonate Glazing – 6mm UV stabilised polycarbonate. Shatterproof & virtually unbreakable polycarbonate has excellent light transmission & heat retention properties. Choose this glazing when maximum safety is required.

When glazing a greenhouse with either toughened glass or polycarbonate PVC Bar Capping can be purchased to hold the glazing in place. Bar capping fits down the vertical glazing bars of the greenhouse, resting over the edge of the glazing it holds it very securely in place.

Ventilation
The Craftsman High Eave greenhouses are supplied with 2’ x 2’ (610mm x 610mm) opening roof vent(s) as indicated in the table below:

Where more ventilation is required – useful in the height of summer or when growing alpines - you can purchase either:
Additional Roof Vents – these can be sited in every other roof panel (they CAN NOT be sited side be side). You can automate the opening of these vents – useful when you’re at work or away on holiday – by purchasing Bayliss XL Vent Openers.
or
Louvre Windows – a five bladed louvre glazed to match the lean-to glazing. Site either in the opposite gable to the door or in either side of the greenhouse. Install near the base of the greenhouse for maximum air circulation. Although louvre windows CAN NOT be sited side by side they can be placed in every 2’ (610mm) length of the greenhouse by installing higher in alternate panes. To automate the opening of the louvres simply fit Automatic Louvre Openers.
