Finding the right blinds for conservatory roofs can be difficult—especially conservatory roof blinds that fit every tiny, awkward window. Here are our top tips from our team of expert installers and R&D team on how to fit conservatory roof blinds to help you find the perfect match for yours.
Can you get blinds for a conservatory roof?
Yes! We’ve been making roof blinds for conservatories since 1995—each one made-to-measure to ensure a perfect solution for your conservatory, garden room or orangery. As climate change makes our homes hotter in the summer, and with heating bills going up, our customers are looking to invest in long-term solutions to trap in warmth where they can. This is where we come in.
How to cover a conservatory roof window?
From traditional pinoleum, to high tech Duette® fabric; and from electric and automated blinds, to simple manual operation, there are a range of considerations when thinking about how to fit conservatory roof blinds in your home. For ease we split these issues into four key questions: How do you feel about the importance of insulation and temperature control, how do you feel about light and privacy management, and what are your priorities in automation, and aesthetics.
Our most popular blinds for conservatories are pinoleum and Duette® which have completely different styles. We are also asked about perfect fit blinds for conservatory roof, which we do not recommend as they are very bulky and cover a lot of window glazing, and roller blinds for conservatory roof which is possible to do, but again is not something we recommend, as the fittings in the corners and the top of the roof can look very messy.
Light issues are also always a hot topic, especially for customers looking for blackout blinds for conservatory roof when they are doing their initial research. While we can definitely help with dimmable fabrics, it is important to note that it is not possible to guarantee a completely blacked out room because of light seepage from the edges of the blinds.
How do conservatory roof blinds work?
Conservatory roof blinds are designed specifically to manage light and temperature as these rooms can experience harsh heat in summer and cold in cooler months. We custom make our conservatory blinds after careful measurement from our expert installers to ensure precise fit and functionality. In addition to adding to the look and style of an interior, conservatory roof blinds are typically used for temperature and UV regulation, light management, glare and privacy issues. Our consultants work with you to identify the right type of blind, and the perfect fabric to deliver on your functional priorities and make them a perfect match for your room.

Duette® Thermal blinds for conservatory roof
Duette® thermal blinds offer a range of advantages for canny shoppers and home interiors lovers alike. Duette® fabrics do two jobs very well: Designed with a unique cellular honeycomb structure, they trap heat coming in from outside to keep your conservatory cool. Equally, because heat escapes through glazing, Duette® blinds are an effective barrier for keeping the heat in. These thermal blinds for conservatory roof make it easier and more cost-effective to heat your conservatory. Plus, because of their construction, we can hide the cords inside the weave, meaning no holes or gaps in the fabric to let harsh light through. The blinds are one of our top recommendations to customers if their conservatory is too cold.
Pleated blinds for conservatory roof
Our Pure™ pleated blinds for conservatory roofs deliver a precise fit for conservatory roof windows. We launched Specialist Blinds over 25 years ago to focus specifically on hard-to-fit conservatory blinds, and our experts developed our Pure™ technology so that we could shade any roof glazing that other companies struggled to cover or left bare.
We specialise in fitting blinds around obstructions, mouldings and gable blinds over the windows in gable-end conservatories reducing glare and increasing shade and insulation.
Because of our signature neat fit, our blinds look immaculate when extended and are barely visible retracted. We have a wide range of pleated fabrics to choose from to ensure that your blinds tie in with the whole look and feel of the room.
Pinoleum Blinds For Conservatory Roof
Pinoleum blinds are a classic choice for timber-framed conservatories. Made of fine wood slats, these blinds provide gentle dappled light when extended shading the conservatory from harsh glare and preventing heat loss. Traditional to conservatories, these days we think pinoleum adds a cosy, casual mood that ties in with a more relaxed lifestyle.
We combine our modern technology with this traditional style by offering optional solar lining for better heat-retention, as well as the option of electric blinds for conservatory roof to make raising and lowering the blinds fast and easy. Pinoleum blinds retract into simple folds of around the rim of the conservatory. Specialist Blinds pinoleum can be customised to tie into your interior with Farrow and Ball colours.
