Choosing the Right Greenhouse Door: A Complete Guide for Bloomcabin Aluminium Greenhouses

When designing your ideal greenhouse, one detail that plays a big role in both functionality and appearance is the greenhouse door. Whether you're planning a small back garden greenhouse or a large freestanding structure, the door you choose can influence everything from airflow to ease of access.

At Bloomcabin, we offer premium-quality aluminium greenhouses that come with flexible door options to suit your garden layout and lifestyle. In this guide, we explore the two main door types available for our classic aluminium greenhouses and help you decide which one best suits your needs.

Door Options for Bloomcabin Aluminium Greenhouses

When you use our greenhouse configurator, you can customise your greenhouse with one of two door types:

1. Single Sliding Door

Key Benefits:

• Space-efficient: Ideal for smaller gardens or where the greenhouse is positioned close to a wall or fence.
• Easy to use: Glides smoothly along a track without taking up external space.
• Clean design: Matches the modern aluminium frame and complements any garden style.

Best For:

• Small to medium gardens
• Lean-to or mini greenhouse installations
• Gardeners seeking a tidy, low-maintenance layout

2. Double Sliding Door

Why Choose It:

• Wider access: Makes it easier to move in equipment, tools, or furniture.
• Improved ventilation: Open both sides for natural cross-breeze.
• Enhanced appearance: Creates symmetry and a more inviting greenhouse entry.

Best For:

• Larger garden spaces
• Passionate growers or allotment users
• Those looking for both practicality and a stylish feature

Why Sliding Doors Are Ideal for Aluminium Greenhouses

• Space-saving design
• Improved airflow
• Sleek, integrated appearance
• Durable and weather-resistant for UK conditions

Door Placement Tips

• Face the door south or southeast
• Avoid prevailing winds
• Ensure nearby access paths or utility zones

Seasonal Considerations

Double doors allow better ventilation in summer. Single doors are easier to insulate in winter.

Mistakes to Avoid

• Poor placement planning
• Installing on uneven ground
• Skipping door locks
• Choosing the wrong door width
