Best Blinds For Keeping Heat Out
Duette® Thermal Blinds for Keeping Heat out
Duette® Thermal Blinds are one of our most popular blind types as they are specifically designed for thermal regulation. Their honeycomb construction means they are effective at trapping and reflecting heat. Additionally, their construction also hides any wires and cording holes within the fabric. We often install Duette® blinds in conservatories and gables.
Available in translucent, opaque or full dim-out fabrics as shown in the photo below featuring a dim-out gable blind.
By using dim-out blinds you can get maximum shading and therefore reduce the heat in your room significantly. However, we would not recommend dim-out for any ceiling blinds.
Instead, we would recommend the standard Duette® thermal blinds for ceiling blinds. You can majorly cool a room by installing blinds on any form of lantern roof, skylight or roof blind as these encourage a lot of heat into the room.
Vision Blinds
Vision Blinds (AKA Zebra Blinds) are a type of window blind that can help you with controlling the light in your room with shading. They are rising in popularity currently and are referred to as ‘Zebra’ blinds due to the striped effect of the blinds. This type of blind allows you several options to shade your room. Such as: partial shading, with the opaque and transparent stripes, fully transparent or you can opt for fully opaque. In terms of heat, you have the option to block some of the sunlight and still see into your garden, which in turn blocks some of the heat seeping into your room.
Pinoleum Blinds
pure™ Pinoleum blinds are very popular for people wishing to control the temperature in their room whilst maintaining a traditional look. We also offer optional solar lining, so they are effective in reducing heat build-up and temperature control. So, in the summer months Pinoleum blinds help keep your room cool and in the winter aid with heat retention. We designed this combination of market-leading technology and a traditional look to ensure your home is comfortable all year round.
Roller Blinds for Keeping Heat Out
Bespoke Roller blinds are made to a premium quality and are optimal for those wishing to shade large areas of glazing with just a single blind or so. They are available with both semi-transparent and dim-out options with different style options. Roller blinds are effective for keeping heat out as they act as a barrier between the sunlight and the room. With roller blinds you can open your door/window whilst your blind is lowered. Ensuring airflow and shade to really keep your room cool. Alternatively, if you have a lantern roof that requires shading, you can cover that with just one or two blinds.
