Greenhouses for Iceland
Greenhouses in Iceland face the most extreme growing conditions in Europe. To ensure structural survival, we exclusively supply the Elite Titan range to Icelandic customers. Engineered with Core-Vect technology and 4mm toughened safety glass, these are the only greenhouses we recommend for the North Atlantic’s high wind speeds and heavy snow loads.
Why We Chose This Range
“We have limited our Icelandic offering strictly to Elite Titan Greenhouses for one reason: safety. Standard aluminium frames simply cannot withstand the 80mph+ gusts and pressure changes common in Iceland. By exclusively shipping the Titan with toughened safety glass and bar-capping, we provide a structure that stays standing when others fail. We’ve been shipping these specialist models to Iceland since 2012 with a proven track record of durability.”
— Matt, Founder of Greenhouse Stores🔧 Matt's Installation Tip: Extreme Wind Anchoring
For Icelandic installations, the standard base anchor is insufficient. You must use a poured concrete perimeter kerb rather than just slabs. Secure the greenhouse threshold directly into the concrete using M8 stainless steel expansion bolts. Because we only supply toughened glass for this region, the extra weight of the glass actually helps with stability, but the mechanical bond to a concrete base is what prevents 'structural lift' during a storm.”
For detailed base instructions, see our Guide to Building a Concrete Base or our Step-by-Step Paving Slab Guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you only ship the Elite Titan to Iceland?
The Elite Titan is the only greenhouse in our range featuring the ultra-strong 'Core-Vect' box-section aluminium. In Iceland's extreme climate, entry-level frames are prone to structural failure. The Titan is specifically engineered to handle the wind pressure and snow weight unique to the region.
Is toughened glass necessary for Icelandic weather?
Yes. Toughened glass is significantly heavier and more rigid than alternative glazing, which adds essential ballast to the structure. Our Elite Titan uses a bar-capping system to lock these heavy toughened glass panels securely in place, preventing them from blowing out during high winds.
How is the greenhouse shipped to Iceland?
We arrange specialist export shipping, typically via the port of Reykjavik. We work with experienced freight forwarders to ensure your Elite Titan Greenhouse is securely crated for the sea crossing and that all documentation is handled correctly for a smooth delivery.
