Are Blinds for Conservatories Different Than Normal Blinds?

In effect any type of blind cloud be installed within a conservatory, HOWEVER – this may not prove wise in the long run as specifically designed and purposed conservatory blinds would demonstrate greater functionality, whilst not sacrificing on aesthetic at all.

What To Consider When Choosing Conservatory Blinds

The perfect conservatory blinds would simply accent the room whilst maximising its unique points, such as the deliverance of light.

Sunlight Control

Conservatories by their very nature are designed to allow in light due to their transparent structural design. However light control is important, as depending on the time of day, brightness of the sun or the type ambience you want to create, it may prove prudent to regulate the entry of light. 

Regular roller and Roman blinds often are the most prone to discolouration due to sunlight exposure, leading to significant fading over time.

Both Vertical and Venetian blinds are popular choices as they allow great contrast and light transition due to the panel slats that make up the structure of this particular type of blind. Vision blinds offer a great combination of regular fabric and light permission fabric, very useful for sunlight exposure control.

Temperature Control

Another key aspect of conservatory blind selection is temperature regulation and control. Roman blinds due to their relative fabric thickness provide better warmth and insulation in the colder seasonal months, however for the same reason may trap too much heat and obstruct views in sunnier periods.

Venetian, roller and vertical blinds provide the ability to vary the amount of heat you keep in the room throughout the day, the option of continuous changeability is a major positive in a room that can effectively be a magnified XL greenhouse in the summer.

Privacy

A type of blind that limits the line of view of anyone outside the property is crucial for a conservatory. Any slatted or pleated style, including Venetian or vertical would offer quickly adjustable light levels and offer privacy when trying to relax. Vision blinds are a popular choice for the reason they obstruct outside view whilst still allowing the owner to have a good view of their garden.

Durability

Due to the bespoke nature of blinds, it’s obviously preferable they perform as well and last as long as possible, durability is a key aspect in the long term performance of conservatory blinds.

Vertical and Venetian blinds again offer good durability, but optimally in aluminium, as wood or PVC are subject to heat and light exposure warping.

Conclusion

Specifically tailored and installed Vision,Venetian or vertical blinds would be our recommendation for conservatory blinds as they provide great all round functionality whilst maintaining a sleek aesthetic.
