Vitavia Greenhouse Glazing Rubber is a 10 metre roll of replacement seal strip for all Vitavia aluminium greenhouses. It sits in the glazing channel between the glass and the frame, cushioning the pane and creating a weatherproof seal.
Over time, the original rubber hardens and shrinks. When that happens, glass panes become loose, start rattling, and gaps appear that let in rain and cold air. Replacing the rubber is one of the simplest upgrades you can make to an older greenhouse.
We cut the rubber to length on site using scissors or a sharp knife. Press it firmly into the aluminium channel before sliding the glass pane back in. The rubber compresses slightly to grip both the frame and the glass edge.
A 10 metre roll is enough for a small to mid-sized greenhouse. For larger models like the Venus or Jupiter ranges, you may need two rolls. Measure your glazing bars before ordering to be sure.

A solid base is the backbone of any greenhouse. You might think skipping this step saves time, but trust me?I've seen plenty of greenhouses fail because of poor foundations. A dodgy base causes more headaches than you'd believe.
What happens with a bad base? Glass cracks. Doors jam. The structure twists. Water pools where it shouldn't. And fixing these problems costs way more than doing it right first time.

The best position for a greenhouse in the UK is south-facing with the ridge running east to west. Keep at least 2 metres from buildings and trees, on level ground with good drainage. A south-facing 6x8 greenhouse runs 3-5 degrees C warmer than the same model facing north.
