How to choose blinds for your conservatory

There are many different types of conservatory blinds available, and it’s sometimes difficult to be sure what is the best option.  There is no one size fits all solution – the best type of window blind for your conservatory will depend on your priorities, and your own personal tastes.

Some of the main types of conservatory blinds are roller blinds (just fabric on a roller), roman blinds (slightly pleated fabric), pleated blinds (again, fabric, but with more pleats), pinoleum blinds (a type of roman blind made from wood or bamboo).

You’ll also need to decide whether you want to just cover the vertical windows in your conservatory, or whether you also want a blind for the roof.  For your roof you can get all of the above blinds types to fit on the inside of your conservatory, as well as  awning, which is installed outside your conservatory, over the roof.

The best blinds are made of metalized fabric, which gives additional protection from the sun and UV rays, and also prevents the blinds from fading quite as easily.
