Getting your conservatory shading right will make the difference between a room you can comfortably use all year around or a room that can be too hot or too cold. Possibly with the exception of the roof, conservatory blinds are no different from the blinds available for the rest of the house but they will vary greatly in functionality, price and light/heat control. Your Buy Blinds Local Supplier will act as your guide.
Vertical blinds
These are possibly the most cost-effective way to shade your conservatory side windows and doors. They offer great shading, privacy and light control and are available from a simple white/cream fabric through to heat reflecting fabrics in a range of styles. Vertical blinds will take up a lot of your sills which should be a consideration.
Roller Blinds
These are less obtrusive than verticals and can be rolled up out of the way. Whilst they are an ‘up or down’ solution, there are screen fabrics available which can shield over 90% of UV from the room, reduce glare and allow you to still have a view of the outside. Add to that the ability to motorise to allow you to adjust your shading at the flick of a switch and you will see that there is more to the humble roller blind than you think.
Perfect Fit Blinds
These were largely designed for conservatories. In their various forms, perfect fit blinds don’t take up any of your room-space, look very neat and are safe by design. Naturally, as the blinds fit into each window there are more blinds to consider so will cost more than say, vertical blinds. However, for many, the benefits outweigh the price difference. You can use your doors and windows and have complete control of the shading and privacy in the room.
