Semi-solid roofs are becoming a more popular option in modern conservatories and extensions. These roofs tend to be called hybrid conservatory roofs. They mix the light and airy atmosphere that comes with a traditional conservatory with increased privacy and insulation from the solid roof. However, as the roof does still have some elements of glazing, there are still problems with temperature control and glare. Because of this, we fit blinds into several semi-solid roofs to help the room be more comfortable throughout the year. This was the case with this recent installation in Northamptonshire. Transforming an extension with a semi-solid roof can be tricky. Yet, we fitted blinds into both the glazed areas of the roof, side windows and doors to transform the extension.
Fitted Roof Blinds
The customers opted for a mixture of blinds for this room. For the roof blinds, they went with our pure™ Pleated Blinds, specifically developed by us for conservatories. This means, they neatly fit into a variety of different shapes. Here, the blinds were recess fitted next to the glass. As a result, we kept any gaps to a minimum. The Solar Design™ single-pleat fabric we use for our pure™ Pleated Blinds improves insulation and reduces glare while still letting in natural light. However, the atmosphere of the room tends to not get affected when the blinds are extended.
Side Blinds
For the side blinds, the customers opted for the Duette® Pleated blinds. Their honeycomb construction makes them excellent insulators, and so will help improve the temperature of the room throughout the year – especially during the upcoming cold months.
If you have a semi-solid roof and still finding that you’re having problems with heat and glare, arrange a quotation with a member of our sales team.
