Special Feature - Conservatory
Blinds Information - In association with Sun-Blinds.com
As you search around for Awnings you will often find that awnings are supplied
by companies who also supply conservatory blinds. Indeed a large percentage
of conservatories owners also invest in patio awnings - both representing
great ways to enjoy the "out doors" in an "in doors" type
of way - no matter what the weather.
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.
Why have Conservatory Sun blinds?
1.
To reduce glare and heat build up.
2.
To provide a higher degree of privacy.
3.
To decorate / furnish your conservatory.
4.
To reduce the U/V light
and the problems with fading carpets/furniture.
Types of Blinds / Shading
1.
Pleated Blinds.
2.
Roman (Pinoleum) Blinds.
3.
Roller (Aluminised fabric) Blinds.
4.
DIY Drapes or Shutters.
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).
