Conservatory
Blinds UK, Conservatories, Heat and Glare
Conservatories and Sunrooms are without doubt the ideal methods of adding "light
and space to your home". That said "glass
enclosures" of this type are not fully complete without some
form of sun shading or blinds. In this section we introduce you to
some of the alternatives available. Conservatory blinds help you
control heat and glare, so that you can enjoy the extra space your
conservatory gives you all year round.

Pleated Blinds are probably the most popular alternative
for Roof and Window Blinds today. They are available in many different
colours / patterns and are easy to maintain. They can also be "automated" if
you like the idea of "remotely" operating the blinds. Pleated
blinds can also have special SOLAR finishes for even better performance.
This is a feature we strongly recommend.
Roman Blinds which are usually made with "Original
French Pinoleum" are arguably the most traditional blinds
alternative. Composed of thin strips of woven wood, Pinoleum has been
manufactured in France for over 100 years. Its style compliments the
traditional conservatory furniture materials of Rattan and Wicker.
Roman Blinds can also be "automated" if you like the idea
of "remotely" operating the blinds.
Roller Blinds can be produced in many different fabrics
but the most popular for Conservatory Blinds feature special SOLAR reflective
aluminium backing. The theory is that the sunlight literally "bounces" back
of the blinds, giving really effective control over temperature and glare.
Whilst aesthetically speaking these blinds are perhaps not the "best
looking" alternative in most peoples minds, there is not much doubt
that they do provide some of the highest degrees of performance in terms
of managing heat build up and glare.
DIY Drapes or Shutters. As an alternative to professionally
installed Sunblinds you can consider installing your own drapes using
a variety of fabrics. Whilst this may not be as complete a solution as
calling in the professionals they can be quite effective at softening
the light and cooling the atmosphere. Another alternative is to hang
soft muslin at the windows to diffuse the light. Tall timber shutters
can be bought at most DIY stores and positioned free standing in order
to reduce glare coming through the windows. (Allowing you to watch TV
etc) Alternatively smaller shutters can be fixed to the windows externally.
(Requires the services of a competent carpenter).
