WESTERN RED CEDAR (Thuja plicata)
The largest and finest of the cedars produced anywhere in the world, the Western red cedar is famed for its extraordinary durability and resistance to decay.
Western red cedar is a distinct species, possessing all the desirable qualities of the other cedars, and additional advantages besides. It can be finished to a smooth, silky finish; it is free from pitch, it takes and holds stains and paints excellently, and has superior glueing properties. Its colour is extremely attractive, varying from almost pure white of the narrow sapwood to the light straw shade of reddish-brown of the heartwood.
The wood of the Western red cedar has a very low coefficient of expansion, so that it does not shrink, swell or warp excessively, even when subjected to changing degrees of temeperature and moisture.
It has prime insulating qualities and its pleasing aromatic odour is repellent to moths, insects and vermin. The wood is saturated to every fibre with a natural preservative oil which renders it virtually immune to decay and gives it extreme durability without artificial preservative treatment.
It is not necessary to paint your Alton cedar greenhouse to preserve its surface, as it does not deteriorate appreciably even under severe climatic changes.
|
| Take the ventilation system for example. Cedar-wood greenhouses have Alton greenhouses unique Ventaccess sliding ventilators fitted to alternate bay's. These, used in conjunction with the greenhouse roof ventilation provide natural air movement around plants at ALL levels of the Alton cedar-wood greenhouse. And, as their name suggests, the side vents also give easy access from outside of your Alton cedar-wood greenhouse to plants grown underneath the staging. |
|
|
|
Automatic openers are also available, so extra ventilation can take place in your absence.
Just set and forget.
These units automatically open and close vents in response to climatic conditions. |
|
Extra side ventilation can be provided by fitting louvre vents at staging height. Use them in conjunction with roof ventilation and Ventaccess panels to promote healthy air circulation at al levels of the greenhouse.
The louvre vents are available with manual or automatic opener. |
