Transformed Surrey Conservatory with Specialised Blinds

Earlier this week we completed a conservatory transformation in Surrey with our specialised blinds. They needed to make a major change to their conservatory as they found they never used the room. This is because it was constantly getting too warm throughout the day. This was even with the large sail blinds fitted into the roof. While sail blinds can be a cheaper alternative to made-to-measure blinds; they do not provide the same level of temperature control – as this customer had realised. Alongside that, the sail blinds were not able to fit in with the existing décor of the room. This can be seen in the photos below, as they looked to be an afterthought.

Duette® Thermal Blinds 

After speaking with a member of our sales team, the customers opted for Duette^® thermal blinds across the whole conservatory. That included the roof, the gable-end and the sides, which included both folding doors and sliding doors. This meant that we had to use a lot of different blind types in a single conservatory. As the photos show, the differences our blinds were able to make to the room were dramatic. Instead of the sail blinds, we were able to fit Duette^® fabric blinds into each panel of the roof. Not only does this give a much neater look, but it makes them a lot more effective at reducing heat. The Duette® fabric has a honeycomb structure that is designed to create an insulating layer which helps to reduce heat transmission. Additionally, the Duette® blinds allowed us to neatly cover all of the glass with only minimal gaps. Therefore, there’s a lot less exposed glass letting in heat and glare.

pureaspect™ Gable Blinds

We were also able to cover the gable-end of the conservatory using our own pureaspect™ gable blinds. We have specifically designed the blinds to cover this type of triangular window with only a small amount of blinds. In this case, we were able to easily cover the area with just two. These blinds will also retract away neatly, so they have as small a profile as possible when not in use. Both the roof and gable blinds were fitted using our pureduo2™ Remote Control system. This system allows the customer to control their blinds using a single handset.

pure™ Blind Rail

For the side blinds we used a combination of different techniques. The blinds for the folding doors use our unique pure™ blind rail to fit a blind into each individual panel of the doors. Meaning they can still be extended when the doors are open; without the blinds getting in the way of the door at all. For the sliding doors at the front, we fitted free-hanging blinds in front of the doors using our SmartCord^® system. SmartCord^® is an easy and neat way to have free-hanging blinds in a conservatory; but it is designed to be totally child safe. The customer was keen for their new blinds to match the décor of their conservatory aluminium frame. This level of attention to detail is something we specialise in. We have a range of 12 different standard rail colours. We also have the ability to custom-colour blind rails and components at an extra cost. This is by using our own powder coating facilities. We were able to use one of our 12 standard colours to make the rails and components of the blinds fit in with the colour of the conservatory’s fame. This made the blinds look like a natural part of the conservatory – as if they’ve always been there. Even though we fitted a variety of types of blinds in this conservatory, we were able to colour match all of the different components. This was all done within our bespoke factory in Ashford, Kent.  

Customer Review 

Our customers were so happy with their blinds they left a review on our Checkatrade page. They kindly gave us full marks for tidiness, courtesy, workmanship and reliability & timekeeping:

“The quality of the work was exceptional, we are really pleased with the work that was completed in our conservatory.”

This Surrey conservatory transformation with specialised blinds is a great example not only of some of the different blind types we can sell, but also how our attention to detail really makes the difference between blinds that look like an afterthought and blinds that look like an integral part of the room.
