Sliding Door Options for Aluminium Greenhouses

Choosing Doors for Bloomcabin Aluminium Greenhouses: A Complete Guide
When planning your ideal greenhouse, one detail matters greatly for function and appearance: the door. Whether you are planning a compact garden greenhouse or a freestanding model, the door choice affects ventilation, access and everyday comfort.
At Bloomcabin we offer premium aluminium greenhouses with flexible door options that can suit your garden layout. This guide introduces the two door versions available for our classic aluminium greenhouses and helps you choose the right one.
Door Options for Bloomcabin Aluminium Greenhouses
With our online configurator you can select a door to suit your needs:
1. Single Sliding Door
This elegant, space-saving option is the standard door on most Bloomcabin greenhouses.
- Space-saving: Ideal for smaller gardens or greenhouses placed against a wall.
- Easy to use: Slides smoothly along its track.
- Modern design: Complements aluminium frames and any garden setting.
Recommended for:
- Small to medium gardens
- Lean-to structures or narrow spaces
- Growers wanting low maintenance
2. Double Sliding Door
This version is available on larger models from around 310 cm wide.
- Wider access: Useful for tools, potting benches or garden furniture.
- Better ventilation: Both sides can be opened.
- Balanced appearance: A stylish garden focal point.
Recommended for:
- Larger gardens
- Keen home gardeners
- Anyone prioritising function and style
Why Sliding Doors Work So Well
- Space saving with no swing area
- Improved airflow to support healthy plant growth
- Clean appearance and contemporary styling
- Weather resistance for varied outdoor conditions in Malta
They can be combined with automatic openers or security locks for added convenience and protection.
Door Positioning Tips
- An aspect balancing winter light and summer heat
- A sheltered position
- Easy access to paths, water and tools
For a wall-mounted greenhouse, a single door is often best. Freestanding models often benefit from the double option.
Seasonal Considerations
- Summer: Double doors encourage airflow
- Winter: Single doors can seal more easily
Add roof vents, shading or insulation panels for greater climate control.
Avoid Common Mistakes
- Too little space around the greenhouse
- Uneven or soft ground
- Ignoring local weather conditions
- Not planning for a lock
- Choosing the wrong door width
