Janssens Royal Victorian Orangerie Greenhouse
The Royal Orangerie is a great choice for gardeners who want an English style greenhouse with an engaging design. As the full-sized T-shape from Janssens, it is about 1 ½ feet taller than the ‘Junior’ Orangerie and features an entry foyer with a perpendicular work section behind. Like all Janssens models its 4mm tempered glass and 17 gauge aluminum frame make it resilient enough to withstand strong wind gusts and moderate hail. Its doors and windows can be installed nearly anywhere, providing substantial flexibility in design. It is especially appreciated by those looking to add a bit of architectural flair to their outdoor space.

Greenhouse as an Additional Living Space
Can I Use My Greenhouse as an Additional Living Space?
- These structures are designed to be a greenhouse first and foremost. As packaged, the greenhouse is not designed to be water/air tight. Greenhouse plants do benefit from a turn of air. You may need to do some extra sealing with silicone on the roof around the glass to achieve watertightness.
- The glass is single pane, so there is a good chance for condensation on the inside that might drip. We recommend any furniture be indoor/outdoor and that fine wood furniture/electronics be avoided or sufficiently protected.
- The roof windows do have auto openers, so there is always a chance with a summer rainstorm (with the temp above 70) that the windows could be open and it could rain in. You can switch to all manual openers if preferred.
- On sunny days, glass greenhouses can get warm very quickly. Depending on your climate, you will likely be fighting the heat in the summer (late spring/early fall).
- It has been done, but you will need to make customized adjustments such as extra sealing, climate control, window tinting and heating.
