Conservatory blinds are ideal for keeping your home cool in the summer. When the heat hits the material of the blinds, the material expands which allows room for the heat to be stored. All materials that are used for blinds expand from metals and plastics to woods. When the windows are hit with heat during summer, both the wooden frames and the glass expand and hold the heat. This is wonderful for keeping the conservatory warm but the negative effects include the fabric of furniture fading, the colour of the wood, carpets, painting and walls fade and plants die. Chances are you enjoy your conservatory as a place to sit peacefully and look over your garden, no matter what time of year it is. So don’t suffer in the heat without appropriate blinds.

You can apply them to other rooms around the home to create light and airy spaces that are cool in summer and warm in winter.
