With an 85% heat reflection capacity, Appeal’s Solar R® and Alu-Pleat® blinds outperform any other conservatory blind on the market. There is a long term trend for conservatories or glass extensions in the home. In the heat of the summer, Appeal’s Solar R® or Alu-Pleat® blinds keep the conservatory or modern glass space cool naturally (without the aid of fans or carbon – guzzling air conditioning!)
Evidence from a recent independent study into the thermal effect of various types of blinds in a conservatory shows:
• For a typical hot summer day in July, the addition of blinds to the conservatory can significantly reduce internal temperatures by up to 8°c.
• Alu-Pleat® and Solar R® blind fabrics, both exclusive to Appeal, offer the highest reduction in internal temperatures.
• Blinds covering the conservatory roof are 3 times more effective at reducing internal temperatures than blinds covering the side windows.
• Conservatory blinds not only help to keep the conservatory cool in the summer but also offer valuable insulation in the cold winter months and can reduce conservatory heating bills by up to 18%.
Despite recent innovations with ‘heat reflective’ glass, conservatory blinds are still essential to a conservatory or any large glass space, as not only do they effectively regulate the temperature in your conservatory, but also prevent glare, and provide privacy – properties which glass (however thermal) simply does not have. Moreover Appeal’s conservatory blinds soften the lines of your conservatory, and are known to enhance the look of the glass space, which would otherwise be left bare and somewhat spartan.
