Hortensie Glasshouse 6
Tax included where applicable. Delivery and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
QELNAVOR Glass — winter, postponed indefinitely
Serious gardeners outgrow polycarbonate; the Hortensie is the graduation — cold, cool or warm house regimes stated plainly, automatic vents that work in August, and lines that flatter the kitchen garden they serve.
Glass buildings live or die at their junctions — sill, eave, ridge — and ours are drawn by people who have re-glazed other companies' regrets. Deep foundations for frost, gaskets stocked for fifteen years, and light that arrives exactly as the drawing promised.

Questions, Answered
What about condensation?
Managed by design: ventilation paths, thermal breaks and drainage details. Persistent misting between panes is a warranty matter — glass units are stocked for fifteen years.
Does it attach to any house?
Winter gardens are surveyed first — wall build, damp course, foundations — then engineered to the house. The flashing details are ours; the house's dignity stays its own.
The QELNAVOR Promise
Five years on the structure, two on moving parts, fifteen years of parts on the shelf — glass units, hardware, louvres, shingles and finials included.
