With a wide choice of conservatory blinds to choose from, this short guide aims to compare the relative benefits and styling of each in order to help you decide which type of blind will best suit your needs. In the UK, uPVC conservatories are growing in popularity offering much needed additional living space at an affordable price with the added benefit of requiring no local council planning permission (although size limits apply) .
A typical uPVC conservatory provides lots of natural light, good security and thermal efficiency through double glazed window panels. However, depending on its orientation, a conservatory will often suffer huge swings in ambient temperature making the living environment cold in the winter and unbearably hot in summer. Conservatory blinds are a great way of controlling the temperature of any conservatory, whilst still letting in much needed light.
Solar Blinds
The best solar blinds will help reduce the need for expensive heating and cooling systems, saving energy and reducing household bills. An ideal solution comes in the form of high tech Solar R Blinds from the Appeal Group, which are specially designed roller blinds made from aluminium backed polyester fabric. These blinds reflect 85% of the sun’s heat and prevent large-scale heat loss during the winter months.
Electric Blinds
For large conservatories or those with a high roof line, electric conservatory blinds offer additional convenience with touch-of-a-button control from a radio controlled handset. The blinds can be split into customised zones which allows blinds facing one particular direction to be extended or retracted, whilst leaving others unchanged.
