Frequently asked questions

All Lähe greenhouses are made of high quality thermo treated wood (thermowood). Thermowood is a wood material produced by using natural methods, heat and steam. Thermal modification improves the wood’s technical properties and Thermowood is non-toxic, dimensionally stable, resistant to decay and resin free. It can be used in any climate. Thermowood is classified as durable according to the EN 113 standard; i.e., its natural resistance to decay meets class 2 requirements.

Thermowood properties:

– Dimensional stability
– Reduced moisture content
– Improved durability against decay
– Reduced thermal conductivity
– Resin removed
– Consistent colour through the wood
– Non toxic material

Thermowood of our choice is thermo treated Scandinavian pine. Thermowood has a warm, natural beauty. All constructions are made of very durable and robust 92 x 42 mm material.

All elements are glazed in 4 mm Tempered Safety Glass to European Standard EN 12150.

Tempered Glass has a number of advantages. For visual purposes, tempered glass is far superior in clarity. Winds, storms, blizzards and other weather elements can`t damage glass greenhouses so easily. Also, tempered glass is safer because when broken, it crumbles into tiny pieces that are not sharp.

Tempered Glass offers a far longer service life than any other type of greenhouse material.
