Is Your Conservatory Eco-Friendly?

Is your conservatory eco-friendly? And if it isn’t, is there a way to make your conservatory more eco-friendly in a cost-effective way? We all hear a lot about making our homes greener and cleaner, but the associated outgoings can make us more than a little red in the face. Products like solar panels and heat pumps have a significant price tag attached, and they need adding to your home. But what if you could change a little bit about your living space to do a lot for your carbon footprint?

One of the biggest problems with making your home more eco-friendly is managing your conservatory. If you have an older conservatory, it’s usually not efficient. An old design will often have single-glazed roof panels that allow lots of heat transfer, meaning your build becomes too cold in winter and hot in summer. Not only that, harmful UV rays and solar gain can cause the furniture in your flooring to fade and discolour, meaning it’ll need replacing and throwing away.

At Appeal Home Shading, we can help your conservatory become more eco-friendly with our range of blinds! Blinds can make a conservatory warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and less likely to suffer from the effects of solar gain and UV rays. With our range of Conservatory Blinds, Conservatory Roof Blinds, Window Blinds and Door Blinds, we can offer a range of styles and personalise your design to seamlessly suit your home. Get in touch today to see how our blinds can make your conservatory more eco-friendly!

How Do Blinds Make Your Conservatory More Eco-Friendly?

Enhanced Efficiency

One of the main benefits of Conservatory Blinds is that they can make your conservatory more thermally efficient. That means that you don’t lose as much of your energy, meaning you get more of an effect from less usage. In an older conservatory, your home’s natural heat can escape quickly through single-glazed glass windows and roof panels. Cold air can then take its place, creating an uncomfortable living space.

Our range of Conservatory Blinds works well to keep cold air out of your home in the winter and reduce the temperature in the summer. Because of this, you can enjoy a more comfortable living space that you can use all year round. Not only that, you won’t have to rely on your central heating as much to use your conservatory. As a result, you’ll be able to reduce your energy bills, and decrease your carbon footprint too!

Reduced UV Rays

Another issue a conservatory can cause for an eco-friendly home is letting too many UV rays through. UV rays are invisible, harmful light particles that can cause damage to things inside your home, such as furniture and flooring. UV rays build up in environments with intense light, and an old conservatory is often one of them. If the whole build is glazed, light can bounce around the glass panels, creating an intense greenhouse effect and causing solar gain.

By adding Conservatory Blinds for your windows or roof, you can both stop light from getting in and prevent that light from intensifying. Our roof blinds will also allow you to get control of your home’s lighting, improve privacy when you need it, or allow you to see screens more easily. Finally, our blinds will be able to stop UV rays from developing and entering your home, meaning you’ll protect its contents from fading and discolouration. As a result, they can last longer without needing any replacement.

Longer Lifespan

Finally, we design our range of Conservatory Blinds to last longer, creating a more eco-friendly home. If your blinds last longer, you won’t need to replace them as quickly, meaning fewer blinds need to be created, and more materials are saved for the environment. Not only that, we’ve designed our blinds to be highly durable. By using hard-wearing fabric that can deal with intense sunlight and general wear and tear with ease, you can trust your new Conservatory Blinds to last for decades.
