Reflective Aluminium Coating: Bounces infrared heat rays straight back out through the conservatory glass before heat warms indoor air.
Glare Reduction: Helps reduce harsh reflections on TVs and computer screens.
Motorisation Ready: Easy to automate with remote controls or smart home hubs for high conservatory roof windows.
Moisture and Mildew Resistant: The synthetic screen material is designed to cope with moisture and humidity.
Consideration:
Daytime View Only: Standard roller view reverses at night when interior lights are turned on.
Requires Recess or Cassette Mount: Needs top cassette mounting space.
Ideal Applications:
High Conservatory Skylights
Lean-To Conservatories
Home Office Conservatories
Dining Nook Extensions
How Direct Glass Heat & UV Damage Conservatory Materials
Conservatory rattan furniture, cane chairs, cushion fabrics, laminate flooring, and electronics endure intense overhead solar heat and UV radiation. Learn how to protect each item.
Rattan, Cane and Wicker Conservatory Furniture
Primary Threat: Potential effects of prolonged heat and sunlight: drying, splitting and fading.
Fading Mechanism
Prolonged exposure to heat and sunlight can contribute to drying, fading and deterioration of some natural rattan materials.
Recommended Defence Strategy
Install Pleated Double-Cell Roof Shades or Silver-Backed Solar Screens. Treat rattan with natural linseed oil once per year.
Conservatory Sofa & Seat Cushions
Primary Threat: UV-related fading and fabric deterioration
Fading Mechanism
Direct intense UV photons penetrate roof glass, snapping chemical dye bonds in fading and deterioration of some cushion fabrics of some fabrics.
Recommended Defence Strategy
UV-filtering cellular shades or Perfect Fit blinds on side glass. Rotate cushions monthly.
Conservatory Laminate & Real Wood Flooring
Primary Threat: Thermal Expansion, Warping and UV Fading
Fading Mechanism
High floor glass temperatures cause laminate planks to expand and buckle at joints, while direct UV turns oak flooring pale yellow.
Recommended Defence Strategy
Combine roof honeycomb shades with Perfect Fit side blinds lowered during peak solar hours (11 AM-3 PM).
Can help reduce solar heat gain by up to 92% Hexagonal double-cell trapped air pockets form an insulating thermal barrier that helps reduce the amount of solar heat entering the conservatory.
Reflective backing helps reduce solar heat gain Aluminium-coated exterior backing acts like a thermal mirror, reflecting infrared heat directly back through the roof glass.
Heat Bounce Coating
Winter Thermal Retention (Heating Insulation)
Performance in stopping winter warmth from escaping through cold single or double conservatory glass panes.
Provides an Additional Barrier Against Heat Loss Provides moderate barrier against cold glass draughts, though mesh weave allows minor thermal convection.
Moderate Winter Shield
Frame Fit & No-Drill uPVC Compatibility
Ease of fitting onto uPVC conservatory window frames and sloped roof rafters without drilling holes.
Polycarbonate roofs can experience significant glare and noticeable noise during heavy rain.
Key Requirement:
Silver-Backed Reflective Solar Screen Shades
Perfect Fit Clips
Conservatory French Doors & Side Windows
Perfect Fit blinds clip directly into uPVC door frames, allowing French doors and tilt-and-turn windows to open freely while helping to minimise movement or interference.
Expert answers on roof glass blinds, Perfect Fit uPVC frame clips, summer glare control, and winter heat retention.
Solar Blinds & Shades
Yes! High-performance conservatory blinds can help reduce solar heat gain and improve comfort during hot weather. The level of temperature reduction will depend on factors such as the glazing, roof design, orientation, fabric and ventilation.
Perfect Fit
Perfect Fit blinds are frame-mounted window treatments that clip directly between the glass pane and the rubber bead of uPVC conservatory window frames. They can be fitted without drilling or screws, subject to the suitability of the existing frame. Because they sit flush against the glass, they move smoothly with the door or window.
Solar Blinds & Shades
For polycarbonate conservatory roofs, Solar Reflective Screen Roller Blinds or Pleated Cellular Shades with a silver reflective backing are ideal. Polycarbonate roofs trap intense overhead heat and produce loud glare. Reflective solar fabrics bounce infrared heat straight back outside through the polycarbonate sheets while softening harsh overhead glare into pleasant ambient daylight.
Insulation
Absolutely. Large areas of conservatory glazing can contribute significantly to heat loss during winter.
Motorisation
Depending on the motorisation system, roof blinds can be controlled by remote control, smartphone app or compatible smart-home systems.
