Bloomcabin Prestige Premium Greenhouse
Prestige Premium – aluminium greenhouse with enclosed base panels and flexible glazing choices
The Bloomcabin Prestige Premium Greenhouse pairs productive growing space with enclosed aluminium base panels. Unlike a fully glazed structure extending to the ground, it keeps pots, growing media and work supplies less visible at low level. Beside a home or patio, it creates a more composed garden setting while the glazed roof and upper walls remain bright.
The range includes compact and generously sized models. Along with floor area, the ridge and door heights vary by width. This makes it easier to match the greenhouse to the available site, planned paths and growing zones.
Before choosing a model, consider summer sun, winter use, views from the house, the foundation and rainwater drainage as one plan. These decisions affect not only the glazing but also the placement of the door, roof vents and work areas. Defining how you will use the greenhouse first lets you choose permanent components deliberately while keeping the interior adaptable later. Learn more about Bloomcabin.
Sheltered base area
Enclosed aluminium base panels add privacy at lower level
The aluminium cladding creates a solid backdrop around the lower section. Potting benches, shelving and larger containers look tidier against it, while everyday gardening supplies are less immediately visible from outside.
This is especially useful beside a patio, along a well-used garden path or within sight of living areas. The panels provide more privacy at a low viewing height. Check the proposed position from indoors, from the garden and from the main seating areas.
The upper walls and roof remain glazed, allowing generous daylight into the growing area. The transition to the enclosed base still matters when planning the interior: small plants needing high light should not remain right at the edge where they receive less side light.

Select glazing with purpose
Choose glazing for plants, privacy and sun exposure
Prestige is available with polycarbonate, 4 mm toughened safety glass and selected specialty glass, including self-cleaning, reflective, solar-control and frosted white glass. Each option has a different priority. Decide whether maximum light, reduced visibility, protection from intense sunshine or easier cleaning matters most.
The roof and sides can use different glazing. For example, the roof can prioritize light while a highly visible side gains greater privacy. Assess each greenhouse face separately, since the sun path, neighbouring property, patio and surrounding planting affect every direction differently.
The best combination depends on the site, orientation, plants and intended use for growing, relaxing or a plant collection. Light-demanding crops need suitable exposure, while glare and privacy can matter more for seating. Resolve that balance before ordering permanently installed panes.

Ventilation and temperature
Coordinate roof vents, glazing and optional heating
Every Prestige includes roof vents. They open manually as standard; automatic temperature-controlled openers can make daily operation easier. Arrange paths and furnishings so manual openers remain accessible without moving anything.
At very sunny sites, solar-control glass or seasonal shading may be useful. Where light is limited, avoid reducing the brightness available to plants unnecessarily. Optional heating can extend the season, but it must be regulated for the plants and professionally installed.
Decide during site planning where water from the integrated gutters will go. Drainage, slope and overflow must prevent water from collecting at the foundation and keep paths clear. Accessible connections simplify later inspection and cleaning.
Ways to use it
Four ideas for the Prestige interior
01
Vegetables and propagation
For vegetables, seedlings and a longer growing season, divide the interior into beds, potting benches and accessible paths. The enclosed base panels provide a useful background for work areas, while taller crops can grow into the glazed upper space. Plan watering and ventilation alongside the planting scheme from the outset.
02
A garden seating area
With suitable seating, the interior can occasionally become a sheltered garden retreat. The base cladding reduces low-level views in and gives the area a tidier appearance. Movable furniture is more practical than fixed fittings because it can be repositioned during busy growing periods, cleaning or overwintering larger plants.
03
A collection of sensitive plants
For citrus, tropical plants or other collections, glazing, ventilation and optional heating can be tailored to plant needs. Different requirements should not be treated as identical. Separate zones, mobile containers and enough room allow sensitive specimens to be positioned nearer to, or farther from, the door as needed.
04
A garden design feature
The broad colour selection lets the aluminium frame coordinate with a façade, window frames, patio or other garden features. View colour samples in natural light where possible, since surroundings, shade and glass affect their appearance. The enclosed base panels make the frame colour more prominent than on a fully transparent base.
Site and use through the seasons
The right version depends on the actual property: sun exposure, foundation conditions and the planned rainwater route. Because growing and winter conditions vary widely across Canada, also trace the route to the assembly area, door access, maintenance clearance and possible service runs. The location must support the plants while remaining practical for assembly, cleaning and future service.
Heat at sunny sites
South- and west-facing locations can become very warm on clear summer days. Choose glazing, shading and ventilation according to the actual sun at the proposed position. Watch how building and tree shadows move through the day: a sheltered morning location may sit in direct afternoon sun for hours.
Roof vents release rising warm air. Tall crops, shelves and supports should not obstruct airflow. On very warm days, opening the door can provide short-term extra ventilation. Regularly monitor temperature and plant condition.
Solar-control glass is most suitable for permanently exposed surfaces, while movable shading can be adjusted seasonally. Match the solution to the crops, as seedlings, fruiting vegetables and overwintering container plants have different light needs. The selected glazing is permanent; temporary shading remains flexible.
Frost and the foundation
The integrated aluminium base needs a level, load-bearing foundation designed for the site. Product performance is specified as wind resistance up to 30 m/s and a snow load of 210 kg/m², provided anchoring and assembly follow the product instructions. These figures are not a substitute for a qualified local assessment of the soil, foundation, site snow and wind conditions, or the rules adopted for the location.
Frost movement in the ground can affect door travel, frame alignment, glazing and drainage. A qualified professional should determine the foundation build-up from local soil conditions. A continuously level bearing surface and secure anchoring are especially important. Correcting a stressed structure later is more difficult than preparing carefully at the start.
Foundation depth, drainage and final assembly height must be set before installation. Include the future interior floor and threshold transition in the plan. This avoids unexpected steps and directs water away from the greenhouse. Changing ground levels after assembly can affect access, door operation and connection details.
Privacy near the house and patio
The base panels mainly screen the lower interior from direct view; plants and furnishings remain visible above through the glazing. Consider what will stand below the glazed sections and which tall plants or shelves may extend above them. Arrange the interior around sightlines from the patio, garden paths and home windows.
Place potting benches and storage so frequently used supplies are near the door while paths stay clear. Work areas can sit on the side away from the main viewpoint if it still receives the needed light. This layout combines efficient working with a tidier exterior view.
Nearby planting can soften the transition between greenhouse and garden. Keep enough clearance from gutters, glazing and base panels to avoid compromising cleaning and maintenance. Choose plants for their eventual height and spread, not just their size at planting.
Collecting and directing rainwater
The integrated gutters can direct rainwater to a storage tank or drainage system. Plan the route so hoses and pipes do not obstruct the door, care paths or future maintenance. A tank should stand securely, remain accessible and have short runs to the growing area where possible.
A larger model may benefit from a suitably sized rainwater tank. The right capacity depends on roof area, local rainfall, available space and plant water demand. Choose a solution with reserve capacity and controlled overflow for wetter periods.
The overflow must reliably carry excess water away from the foundation without causing puddles or erosion nearby. Connections, downpipes and cleaning points should remain accessible. Easy-to-reach filters or leaf guards can reduce maintenance when checked regularly.
Plants and interior layout
A considered interior layout makes plant care, air movement and future changes easier. Start with fixed points such as the door, vents and water connection. Then position the main path, work zone and display areas without furniture covering technical components or narrowing necessary circulation space.
Plan the interior
The enclosed base panels create a calm backdrop for worktables, shelving and raised planting areas. Because less side light reaches the lower edge, small plants with high light needs should be raised to a suitable height. Heavy containers need a stable, load-bearing surface where watering can be contained or drained in a controlled way.
Leave adequate central room for watering, potting and carrying trays. A scale plan helps assess path widths, table sizes and turning space realistically. Include open doors, projecting shelves and mature plants so the passage is not only wide enough when the greenhouse is empty.
Furniture and plants must not block roof vents, doors or glazing that needs cleaning. Leave space between wall-side shelves and the structure so moisture does not build up there. Frames, panels and fasteners should remain visible and accessible for early checks and straightforward cleaning.
Tall crops
Tomatoes, climbing plants and larger specimens can use the height of the glazed upper section. Allow for their mature size and required support when planning the layout. Attachments may only be made at suitable points; glazing, vent frames and moving mechanisms are not plant supports.
The best location for tall crops depends on incoming light and the air path to roof vents. Arrange plants so lower crops are not shaded all day. Moving plants seasonally supports changing crop rotations without altering fixed fittings.
Very tall plants must not interfere with the door, vents or opening mechanisms. Clear care paths make tying, pruning and harvesting easier without damaging delicate shoots. Leave sufficient distance between spreading foliage and glazing so panes remain reachable and damp plant material does not rest against them.
Automatic ventilation
Temperature-controlled roof vent openers can simplify daily ventilation by reacting to rising indoor temperatures. They are particularly useful when nobody is present during the day. Conditions in the greenhouse should still be checked regularly because sun, plant growth and season all change ventilation needs.
For dependable operation, roof vents must move freely. Vines, strings and hanging items must not obstruct either the windows or their mechanisms. Follow the manufacturer’s operating and securing instructions before forecast severe weather.
Roof vents and opening mechanisms need to stay reachable for inspection, cleaning and maintenance. Remove dirt and plant growth before movement becomes restricted. Checks are particularly useful before extended warm periods and before winter.
Specify glazing for each surface
First assign each glazed surface its main purpose. Solar-control glass can suit highly exposed areas, frosted white glass can reduce views in and self-cleaning glass can simplify exterior care. Reflective glass chiefly changes the exterior appearance. Select by site and function rather than appearance alone.
Record the chosen glass type for every roof and side panel on a clearly labelled sketch. Before ordering, this helps confirm that exposed, visible or difficult-to-reach areas have been addressed appropriately. Clear labelling also supports final configuration checks.
Review transitions between glass types from key viewpoints in the garden and from the house. Function-led surfaces can appear different depending on light and surroundings. A simple elevation sketch helps balance privacy, solar control and the overall look before the configuration is finalized.
Coordinate permanent decisions
Plan permanently installed components in technical order: the foundation establishes assembly height and orientation, the door location defines main access, and glazing influences planting zones. Then route rainwater and irrigation lines so they do not cross these established paths and work areas.
Floor and work surface
A durable interior floor makes watering, potting and cleaning easier. Surface and drainage should suit the intended use: work areas need secure footing, while regularly watered plant zones need controlled drainage. Choose a surface that remains practical when wet and can be maintained with mild cleaners.
Paving, gravel or other suitable surfaces can be coordinated with the threshold and foundation. A level transition, reliable drainage and long-term stability are essential. Loose material must not interfere with door travel. With fixed paving, slopes and connection heights must be set before assembly.
Final floor height must be confirmed before installing fixed work surfaces, shelving or irrigation lines. Consider cleaning, any below-floor services and comfortable working height. Raising the floor later can affect door connections and base areas; setting it too low can create unwanted steps or standing water.
Watering
Larger Prestige models benefit from a clearly planned water supply with short, unobstructed runs. Decide where water is drawn, distributed and shut off for winter. Lines should not cross main paths or make cleaning difficult. Separately controlled planting zones help accommodate different watering needs.
Drip irrigation can avoid loose hoses, keep paths clear and deliver water directly to plants. Drip points and run times must suit plant type, container size and season. Check regularly for blocked outlets or leaking connections so unnoticed water loss does not affect plants or the floor.
Filters, shut-off valves and water connections should remain easy to operate, clean and protect from frost. Keep exterior and interior lines clearly routed so they can be inspected if an issue arises. Before freezing periods, drain or protect water-carrying parts according to their design. Avoid inaccessible areas where residual water can remain.
Maintenance access
Glazing, gutters, doors, vents and base panels need regular inspection and cleaning. Leave sufficient access around the greenhouse. Use mild products and soft tools suited to each surface. Abrasive materials can damage glass, coatings or aluminium.
Dense hedges, walls or fixed furniture must not make exterior surfaces and technical components inaccessible. Nearby plants should be prunable without risking the glazing. Adequate clearance also makes it easier to clean gutters, inspect fixings and remove leaves at the base.
A narrow, permanently clear maintenance strip supports care and minor service work. It should be easy to walk on and not used for storage. Check the site plan to ensure sides facing away from the home or property line remain accessible, since dirt and plant growth can otherwise be missed.
Future flexibility
Plant collections and priorities can change over the years. Keep one area free of permanent furniture or built-ins. This flexible zone can later take larger containers, extra propagation space or occasional seating, and it also makes more extensive maintenance easier.
Prestige may begin as a vegetable-growing space and later accommodate citrus, ornamentals or a seating area. When use changes, adjust light, temperature and watering accordingly. The structural configuration should therefore suit the most likely long-term need, not only one season.
For mobile tables, shelves and containers, select wheels or glides suited to the intended floor. Movable items should be secured against unintended rolling. Plan a parking position where relocated equipment does not block paths, doors or access to the glazing.
Before ordering
Finalize the foundation, orientation and glazing before ordering
Before ordering, confirm the available floor area, assembly access, applicable setbacks or clearances, any zoning or permit steps, and the foundation footprint. In Canada, the relevant building rules must be identified through the province or territory and the municipality; a federal model code should not be assumed to apply automatically. Ask the municipal permit office or a qualified local professional about the specific property and design. Measure driveways, gates and narrow points so every component can reach the assembly site.
Mark the strongest sun directions and the sides facing neighbours, patios and living areas on a site plan. Add trees, roof edges and other sources of shade. This supports informed glazing, privacy and ventilation choices. Also mark the door access and main path before setting the final orientation.
Prepare a level, stable base and the endpoint for rainwater drainage before assembly. Check dimensions, square corners, heights and service connections before construction begins. Keep the assembly area clear and accessible so profiles and glazing can be handled without unnecessary moving or contact with hard surfaces.

Frequently asked questions
Questions and answers about the Bloomcabin Prestige Premium Greenhouse
Which model size suits my needs?
Start by planning paths, potting benches, beds and the mature size of your crops. Then compare the available floor area, model width and door option. This helps you select a greenhouse that not only fits the garden but also provides useful interior space.
How much clear space should remain around the greenhouse?
No universal minimum can be given without site and assembly details. Allow a continuous walkable work area around the greenhouse so glazing, gutters, connections and fixings remain accessible. Leave additional clear space at the door for unrestricted access and moving plant containers.
How do the base panels affect planting?
The base panels reduce side light immediately at the lower edge. Small plants needing high light are therefore better raised up or placed slightly farther inside. Potting benches, larger containers and work areas, however, fit well in front of the enclosed surface.
Should glazing be selected for each side before ordering?
Yes. Check sun exposure, views in, plant needs and cleaning access for both roof and side surfaces. Since replacing fixed panes later is labour-intensive, the final combination should be clearly decided before ordering.
Can the roof and sides have different glazing?
Yes. Select the appropriate glazing separately for roof and sides during configuration. This can combine strong roof light with greater privacy or solar control on a particular side.
When is a double sliding door worthwhile?
A double sliding door is useful when wide plant trays, tools or larger containers are regularly moved in and out. Also check that the wider entrance works with planned paths, potting benches and the rest of the interior layout.
Are automatic roof vent openers necessary?
No. Manual openers are included as standard. Automatic temperature-controlled openers are an additional option when the greenhouse warms quickly on sunny days or nobody is regularly present during daytime hours.
Which documents should I keep?
Keep order documents, product information and assembly instructions for the life of the greenhouse. They contain important guidance on the foundation, assembly, use and care, and can help with future maintenance or service questions.
