Pleated Conservatory Blinds
Pleated conservatory blinds
are probably the most popular alternative for Roof and Window Blinds today.
These conservatory blinds 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 conservatory blinds.
Pleated conservatory blinds can also have special SOLAR finishes for even
better performance. This is a feature we strongly recommend.
Roman Conservatory Blinds
Roman conservatory blinds
are usually made with "Original French Pinoleum" and 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 Conservatory Blinds can also be "automated" if you
like the idea of "remotely" operating the blinds.
Roller Conservatory
Blinds
Roller conservatory 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 off the blinds, giving
really effective control over temperature and glare. Whilst aesthetically
speaking these conservatory 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 conservatory blinds 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
to conservatory blinds 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, instead
of blinds. (Allowing you to watch TV etc) Alternatively smaller shutters
can be fixed to the windows externally. (Requires the services of a competent
carpenter).
