-
Are Swallow Kingfisher Greenhouses better than aluminium models?
Swallow Kingfisher Greenhouses excel at insulation — the ThermoWood timber maintains more stable temperatures than aluminium, protecting plants from temperature fluctuations. Timber construction also allows easier attachment of shelving, shading, and heating equipment. However, aluminium greenhouses require less maintenance and offer better value under £1,000. For long-term investment and superior growing conditions, Swallow Kingfisher Greenhouses deliver 25–30 years of reliable service.
-
Can I paint my Swallow Kingfisher Greenhouse?
Yes, you can order painted Swallow Kingfisher Greenhouses in 10 optional colours including forest green, cream, and slate grey. Painted models cost approximately £200–£300 more than oiled versions. The factory-applied paint finish provides enhanced weather protection whilst allowing you to match your greenhouse to existing garden buildings. The ThermoWood timber accepts paint excellently and maintains the finish for 5–7 years before repainting.
