About Conservatory Blinds
Conservatory blinds: style & function
Choosing the right blinds for a conservatory isn't just about making it look good.
Whilst they certainly add style, conservatory blinds also play a key role in enabling you to enjoy using your room during days and evenings, all year round.

Practical benefits of well designed and properly fitted conservatory blinds include:
- Temperature regulation: without roof, window and door blinds, your conservatory could become unbearably hot under the summer sun. Similarly, blinds can help to insulate the room during cooler months. A full set of blinds will help you make the most of your extra living space all year round.
- Light levels and glare: a well chosen set of conservatory blinds will allow you to control how much natural light enters the room and from which angles, helping to make the room as comfortable and enjoyable to use as possible.
- Privacy: with a full set of well fitted conservatory blinds, you can use the room with as much or as little privacy as you prefer, whatever the time of day or night.
Style choices - conservatory roof blinds
Pleated blinds are usually the best choice for a conservatory roof - ideally made from specialist fabrics that enhance their temperature controlling performance, keeping you cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Pleated blinds can be custom made to fit the many awkward shapes and sizes of panes that make up a typical conservatory roof.
As light passes through conservatory roof blinds, it casts a glow within the room in a similar colour to the fabric, making this choice of colour a particularly important one. For a neutral effect, choose creams or whites. For a warm feel, pick yellow, orange or beige. Or for a cooler look, choose greens, blues or purples. If you book an appointment with an advisor (eg Hillarys), they'll be able to make specific suggestions to suit your needs.

Styles - conservatory side & door blinds
For the sides and doors of your conservatory, pretty much anything goes. You can choose from many literally hundreds of combinations of styles and fabrics. This is where you really get to make your mark in terms of a design statement.
For good control over privacy and the amount of light coming into your conservatory, vertical blinds are a flexible solution. Other options include venetian, wooden venetian, roller, roman and woodweave blinds. Or you could choose pleated blinds throughout - the choice is yours!
