Conservatory Blinds

Conservatory blinds help to reduce solar gain, glare and UV, as well as improving privacy and insulation against heat loss when it is colder.

There are many different types of blinds that can be used in conservatories; pleated blinds, pinoleum blinds, roller blinds, roman blinds, vertical blinds and venetian blinds, which will vary in suitability and effectiveness, depending on conservatory, size, aspect, glazing and your own use.

Conservatories, even those made to standard sizes, are rarely built exactly alike and so all blinds need to be made to measure. Conservatory blinds also need to resist heat and UV without degrading, so make sure that you deal with a conservatory blinds specialist who is a member of the BBSA.

Many fabrics have a solar reflective coating that reflects heat and UV, as well as absorbing and filtering the sun’s energy. Fabrics also have varying opacities (the amount of visible light that passes through) so that you can choose from blackout, dim-out, and even translucent fabrics depending on your conservatory and adjoining rooms.

Blinds not only create shade, but can also provide a much more welcoming appearance and atmosphere by softening the environment, reducing reverberation from all the hard glass surfaces and creating the feeling of security, especially at night when the glass acts like a mirror.

Well chosen conservatory blinds can help to make the most of your glazing as well. The latest high performance solar glazing reduces heat, but does not eradicate it completely and also allows significant glare and UV transmission, as well as significant heat loss at night and during the colder months.

Blinds can stop UV from fading your furniture and flooring.
