Conservatory Roof Blinds: They’re Attractive, Practical and Economic
The attractions of a conservatory are obvious. They bridge the home and the garden, affording panoramic views of your garden or surrounding land. What greater joy is there in life than to sit on your conservatory, warmed by the central heating but still able to enjoy the light and openness of your garden?
Sometimes, however, you may want greater privacy.Some people can feel exposed surrounded by all windows, particularly in the evening or later at night. Conservatory roof blinds mean you can make double use of the space, transforming it from bright, open bridge to the garden during the day to a warm and cosy sitting room at night.
The conservatory blinds are easy to operate for people of all ages and physical abilities. Like normal window blinds, the conservatory roof blinds are operated by a cord. There is no hassle or danger of injury from anyone having to climb onto footstools or stepladders in order to reach their blinds.
We’ve already discussed how the conservatory forms a bridge between the home and garden. Blinds for conservatories can reinforce this connection. They can either extend the design of the rest of your house (e.g. by having them match blinds in other parts of the house) or bring in something of the garden (e.g. through the use of wooden blinds or blinds with a green colouring).
In the height of summer, with the sun beating down, conservatories can become overly bright and quite stuffy. Opening a door isn’t always practical either, as it can mean letting in pollen and insects (a double headache for those of us who suffer from hay fever). Roof blinds mean you can enjoy a veranda-style experience: the sun’s rays are kept off, but you are free to enjoy the view. The same also applies for those of us who find romance in a more windswept climate, but don’t want to be deafened by the drumming of rain on the roof panes.
There’s also an economic advantage here. We’re all increasingly thinking about our monthly outgoings and carbon footprint. Blinds and curtains are a simple and efficient form of insulation in any part of the house, but particularly in a place with so much exposed glass as a conservatory. Many people end up simply keeping the door to their conservatory closed during the winter and all butabandoning the room for the duration, so great can the bill be to heat some older conservatories. Blinds will reflect the heat back in and keep it practical to use the room throughout the winter motnhs. Blinds for conservatories are a great way to reduce your bills and your impact on the environment at the same time.
Conservatory roof blinds also reflect heat back in during the winter. With good double glazing and quality fitting, there is no reason a conservatory should be any colder than any other part of the house. Despite this, there is a psychological which can lead to conservatories feeling colder than they reallyare. In most conservatories, one inherits the the outer wall of the house. When combined with the wide views of your garden, this can reinforce the psychological impression of being outside – lovely in the summer, but it can leave you feeling chillier than you really are at other times of years. Conservatory blinds can bring the room in during autumn or winter, creating a sense of warmth and comfort. How much more preferable is that than the out-of-season impression a conservatory can sometimes give in cooler weather?
Conservatory roof blinds are so much more than a simple aesthetic choice. They do offer styling, but they’re also exceptionally practical. With a pull on a cord, you can transform your conservatory to suit any season: a bright, open veranda in summer; a warm, extra sitting room in winter.
