Conservatories are a gorgeous way to enjoy nature from the comfort of your home. Although, as the English weather continues to fluctuate, one of the hardest rooms to control the temperature for is your conservatory. Many people with a conservatory find issues with glare, and privacy and also end up looking for ways to insulate a conservatory roof.

Heating a conservatory without blinds can only do so much to increase the temperature of the room. Heat will continuously escape through the glazing. This means that in order to keep the room warm, you have to keep the heating on constantly, which will dramatically increase your heating bill!

Improving Insulation for My Conservatory Roof

To keep the heat in your conservatory and make it a more comfortable room, you have to increase the insulation. The majority of heat leaves a conservatory through the roof, so that’s where our conservatory roof blinds really make an impact. By adding blinds to your conservatory roof you are creating an extra insulating layer. Consequently, this then helps trap the heat inside the room.

Our pure™ Pleated Blinds and pure™ Pinoleum Blinds are popular choices for conservatory blinds as they are specifically designed for conservatories and cover unique triangular gable windows expertly. Pinoleum blinds have an optional solar lining that helps preserve heat in the winter and maintain a traditional look all year round.

The most effective blinds for insulation are the Duette® Thermal Blinds as their unique honeycomb structure is specifically designed for insulation. Similarly, Duette® blinds are great for temperature control in the summer, which is perfect for those wondering what are the best blinds for keeping heat out?

So, if you’ve been asking how to insulate a conservatory roof, we’re here to help – contact us for further advice.

Why Should I Use Blinds to Keep My Conservatory Warm?

There are many benefits of using conservatory blinds to increase the insulation over other methods, such as a solid roof:

  • You don’t have to sacrifice any of the atmosphere of the conservatory
  • We designed the blinds to let in natural light when extended so the room doesn’t get too dark
  • You still have the option of retracting them fully if you want to keep the room bright and airy
  • The blinds won’t darken adjacent rooms, so you can still enjoy natural light throughout your home

Thanks to our expertise at making shaped blinds for conservatory roofs, we are able to cover even the most complex roof shapes with minimal gaps to retain maximum heat

Before and After Conservatory Roof Insulation

Many of our customers ask whether blinds can truly make a difference with insulation for conservatory ceilings. The answer is yes. Our most popular range is our honeycomb thermal fabrics, which are made with a cellular structure that helps trap air to provide an extra layer of insulation.

Choosing specialist blinds to help insulate a conservatory roof gives you the option to still enjoy your views on a sunny day or gaze at an impressive starry night sky.
