What blinds do you recommend in an aluminium conservatory?
Although UPVC conservatories are actually made from aluminium, here we are referring to plain aluminium conservatories that generally have much thinner sections than their counterparts on the continent.
Aluminium conservatories are quite unusual in the UK and normally have narrower/shallower glazing bars and frame sections. This actually makes them much harder to fit to and means that there is very little room for error.
Because aluminium conservatories require much more precise fitting blinds we normally recommend Solar Design pleated blinds for both roof blinds and window blinds because the blind rails can be fitted to any type/shape of frame/bead.
In some cases we also recommend pinoleum blinds and roman blinds because they incorporate the same type of rails and operating system, although these blinds entail surface-mounted freehanging window blinds.
Some aluminium conservatories have much deeper beamed rafters, in which case the possible choice for roof blinds is much greater.
