Conservatories are a very popular feature of homes in Leeds, as people seek to extend their homes and create vital additional space, while also aiming to maximise the natural light and comforting glow of the great outdoors. Conservatories are an elegant and appealing addition to the home and help add value to properties by extending the usable space and creating more opportunities to enjoy outdoor areas.
At Solaire Blinds we can visit your home in Leeds and support you in choosing the right blinds for your conservatory. You need to regulate the temperature so that your conservatory is cool enough to use in summer and insulated from the sharp cold in winter. This enables your conservatory to be a usable space all year round, and provides you with valuable freedom and a comfortable space to retreat to whenever you feel like it.
Considerations when choosing blinds for your conservatory
There is lots to think about when choosing the right blinds for your conservatory in Leeds, including:
- Insulation – Blinds need to protect your conservatory from the intense heat of the summer, given that glass will exaggerate this heat. You also want blinds to act as an extra layer of insulation during winter, and therefore blinds need to be durable and good quality to provide a barrier against the outside weather, whatever it is.
- Light control – You want blinds to be adjustable to reduce glare and to provide shade. This allows you to redirect sunlight without losing warmth, visibility and natural light.
- Styles and designs – Depending on how your conservatory is constructed, you might have a full height of glass to consider, while others have brick walls and a glass window, door and roof. You have options to cover exactly what you want to cover, with the right blinds.
- Operation – You can customise your blinds to make operation of them easier and more practical, including having motorised blinds for hard-to-reach areas, such as a glass ceiling or slanted glass roof.
- Made to measure – You can’t guarantee that your conservatory is precisely made or that all the panels are the same size, so it is important to opt for made to measure conservatory blinds. This ensures a perfect fit and avoids unsightly gaps.
The best types of blind for your conservatory
If you have a conservatory in your Leeds home, we can provide made to measure conservatory blinds to match the style and design of your space. These ideas include:
Perfect-fit – These are a type of blind which are fitted via an integral frame which clips into the beading around the edge of a window frame or panel. This means they don’t require any drilling and leave no gaps around the outside of the window. This type of blind is ideal for bi-fold doors, Velux windows and skylights, but they are also very popular in conservatories.
Roller blinds – A classic style that can be fitted as individual blinds in each glass panel.
Vertical blinds – Another traditional style and ideal for adjusting throughout the day, to control temperature, provide shade and reduce glare.
Motorised blinds – Smart, convenient and very easy to control, motorised blinds can work on a timer so that your conservatory space is temperature and light-controlled even when you are not using it, and so it is ready for when you do.
Aluminium blinds – A durable type of venetian blind which is resistant to strong sunlight during the summer and damp and moisture during the winter. Simple, stylish and adjustable too.
