Victorian display models

Here's our display model at our Hagley display centre in the Midlands. We display Malvern Victorians at our Display Centres all round the country ( click on the 'where can I see one' tab at the top of the page ).

If you are spending a lot of money on a greenhouse you really do need to go and take a close look at the quality of the finished item; the Malvern Victorian really stands up to that scrutiny with morticed joints and one-piece base for strength, finials and preservative treatment for good looks, plenty of ventilation, and staging and shelving for practical purposes.

Malvern Victorian Greenhouse 10ft 3in x 7ft 9in

Another great example of the Malvern Victorian 10ft 3in x 7ft 9in size, just one of a range of popular sizes available.

All Malvern Victorians are glazed with toughened safety glass for added strength and safety

Hinged door

The Malvern Victorian has a sturdy cross braced, hinged, inward opening door.

Brass door and window furniture is fitted as a standard feature.

Staging and shelving

Staging and shelving on one side of the greenhouse are provided as an optional extra for the Malvern Victorian.

This is high quality cedar slatted staging which is fixed in place using cantilever brackets, thus freeing up floor space as there is no need for ugly and in-the-way staging legs.

Additional staging for the other side of the greenhouse and the gable end is also available as an option.

Side vents, Gutter and Downpipe

Good ventilation is one of the keys to successful greenhouse gardening and the Malvern Victorian is not short on that score. The number of side vents we provide depends on the length of the building; they allow air to circulate around the plants on your staging helping prevent mildew and keeping your plants healthy. Note the brass window furniture, visible in this picture.

The optional gutters and downpipes provide a dual role. The obvious one is that they can be used in conjunction with a water barrel to save that precious rainwater. The less obvious function is to prevent the rainwater from the roof running down the sides of the greenhouse and causing unnecessary weathering. 

Roof vents

Good ventilation is so important and the Malvern Victorian is well supplied with roof ventilation. These roof vents are fitted with automatic openers which open as the temperature inside your greenhouse rises to prevent overheating ... and saves you the trouble of adjusting the roof windows yourself !

The number of roof vents provided depends on the length of building you choose.

Brass casement stays

For ventilation the Malvern Victorian has automatically opening roof lights and a number of side windows. These are top hung and fitted with brass casement stays as shown in the picture.

Brass handle and lock

Brass handles and a secure lock are fitted to all Malvern Victorians.

Base panels and base rail.

A cedar greenhouse will be as good as the plinth it sits on and in the case of the Malvern Victorian you would struggle to find a better option. A substantial cedar section ( which already has a 10year guarantee ) is used which is then pressure treated with additional preservatives to extend its life much further still.  Malvern choose cedar rather than concrete blocks for several reasons : It forms a continuous edge which means that it braces the full length of the building, prevents dipping where concrete blocks could pull the building out of shape, and provides a sturdy fixing point for the side panels.  It is also less prone to draughts and in particular remains much warmer than concrete blocks which transmit the cold in the winter.

The cedar panels above the base are preservative treated for good looks and long life. Cedar has its own natural oils which help protect and preserve the wood ... hence the reason that it has been used in greenhouses by choice for decades. Add to that a wash of quality preservative and you end up with timber which not only looks good but will last for many many years.
