Welcome to Conservatory Blinds Guide – your online introduction to conservatory window blinds.
Once you’ve bought a new conservatory and enjoyed sitting in it for a while, you’ll quickly realize that you have two problems. First, the sun comes into the conservatory all day, making your new purchase far too hot on a sunny day. Second, although those lovely big windows mean that you can see out, they also mean that everyone else can see in – you’re going to feel very exposed if you can’t shut the world out from time to time.
The solution? Buy some new window blinds for your conservatory.
There are several different types of blinds for your conservatory – and you can find details of them all here at Conservatory Blinds Guide.
Conservatory Roof Blinds – Not great for keeping people from seeing in, but by far the best choice for keeping your conservatory cool and protecting you from the sun. Usually pleated and secured to the roof frame, we recommend that you get these overhead blinds professionally installed.
Conservatory Roller Blinds – really simple and straightforward, roller blinds for conservatory windows are very similar to the blinds you’ll find in the window of your kitchen or bathroom. Roller blinds often come with a metalised back to reflect sunlight, and are very easy to install and use – you simply roll the blinds down when you want to keep the sun out, and roll them back up when you want to enjoy the sunshine and heat your conservatory up a little.
Roman Conservatory Blinds – an ultra-traditional, not to mention stylish way to equip conservatories, Roman blinds are made from fabric, and are a great way to add a touch of luxury to your conservatory. If you have kids around, make sure you can get blinds that can be easily taken down and cleaned, and these aren’t always wipe-clean!
Pinoleum Conservatory Blinds – These are simply a kind of Roman Blind, usually made from wooden slats or bamboo slats. Often called French Pinoleum blinds, these blinds are a great choice for a conservatory with a covered top, as they are not always suitable as roof blinds.
Pleated Conservatory Blinds – again, made of fabric, pleated conservatory blinds are hung on wire guides and folded into a fan shape. A popular choice of conservatory blind, these blinds can reflect up to 83% of the sun’s heat.
DIY Conservatory Blinds – yes, you can make your blinds. If you’re a bit handy, and up for a DIY project, we’d thoroughly recommend having a go. Here’s a great set of instructions explaining how to make conservatory blinds that you can get stuck into straight away!
