Conservatory Blinds in Woodley, Reading

admin — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 15:56:23 +0000

These Conservatory Blinds were fitted by Howards Blinds today in Woodley, Reading. The Fabric is the same for both the roof and sides and has a special anti glare coating to reflect the heat and glare of the sun. This coating is called Solar Protective Coating (SPC) and is highly effective in reducing the heat and glare that is so common in conservatories.

The Perfect Fit Roof Blinds are fitted using a clip in system. This means that there was no drilling and holes with screws to fit the blinds. they literally clip in using a unique clip in bracket system. All the shaped blinds and rectangle blinds move down for when you do not want to use the blinds.

One of the secondary advantages of the perfect fit roof blinds is that there are no gaps in coverage. There are no little gaps where the headrails meet in the triangles because of covers that close the gaps off. So you get complete coverage with the perfect fit blinds. When you have a roof opener we install one blind to the top half of the window and another blind to the lower half – See photo.

The vertical blinds on the sides of the conservatory allow a huge amount of control over privacy and shade because of the way they can tilt to any angle. You can also draw them back so that the windows are clear of blinds. This fit took us about 4 hours to complete. We also fitting a patio awning at the same time.

These Vertical blinds are made of a fabric that is suitable for humid conditions such as those found in a home gym. The fabric is 100% polyester and will not change its character no matter how much sweat the gym users work up.

The finish to this fabric is a blue metallic which fits in very well with all the fitness machines. The vertical blind fabric is called Topaz Steel and comes from our huge range of 1200 fabrics. As well as plain fabrics we can fit Faux Suede, Jacquard, and specialist blackout vertical blind fabrics to suit any window.

The headrail is our standard wide bodied Monarch track. This is the top quality Vertical Blind rail system in the UK. We are appointed manufacturers for this superior vertical blind rail system. The runners have wheels so that they run very smoothly. Cheaper rails just slide along and can deteriorate with a lot of use.

The blind is fitted into the recess and top fixed. We can fit to the face of the window frame but we prefer not to do this on new UVPC Windows and patio doors.
