Vitavia Sirius Greenhouse
The Vitavia Sirius is a T-shaped orangery greenhouse. The cross bar at the front gives you a side wing for a table and chairs. The main run behind is for growing. Toughened safety glass sits in continuous rubber bar capping, not clips, so the glazing stays sealed in high wind. Priced at £2,350 with free UK delivery.
Matt's installation tip: squaring the t-shape
The Sirius is a "T-Shape" structure, which makes the foundation layout more critical than on a standard box greenhouse. You have extra corners to align.
Important Step: When assembling the included steel base, do not just measure the sides. You must measure the diagonals of the main rectangular section AND the protruding porch section. If these diagonals are not identical to the millimetre, the complex roof geometry will not align later. Spend extra time getting this base perfect.
Why We Chose This Range
“We stock the Vitavia Sirius because it is one of the few 'off-the-shelf' greenhouses that rivals bespoke timber glasshouses costing three times as much. The T-Shape design isn't just for looks; it creates distinct 'zones', use the central porch for seating and the wings for growing. Plus, the Bar Capping system solves the #1 complaint about greenhouses (flying clips in storms), making it the most secure aluminium greenhouse in our collection.”

What is Bar Capping?
Most greenhouses use small metal "W-clips" to hold the glass. The Sirius uses Bar Capping, which is a continuous rubber strip that runs the full length of every glazing bar. This looks much neater (no visible clips) and holds the glass far more securely in high winds.
Does it come with a base?
Yes. The Sirius includes a matching Steel Base Plinth as standard. This provides a solid, square foundation and ensures you have the correct "T-Shape" layout to build upon.
Is Toughened Glass standard?
Yes. As a premium "Orangery" style building often used for leisure, the Sirius is supplied exclusively with 3mm Toughened Safety Glass. This is 5-7 times stronger than standard glass and essential for such a large structure.
What are the dimensions?
The Sirius is approximately 12ft x 12ft (3.84m x 3.84m) overall. It features high 1.56m eaves (over 5ft) and a generous 2.52m ridge height, giving it a cathedral-like feeling inside.
