Solar R & Alu-Pleat Conservatory Blind Solutions From Appeal

With space at an ever increasing premium, there was firstly the advent of conservatories, and then the more recent trend towards glass extensions for town and city dwellings. These glass structures aim to bring the outdoors and the surrounding environment into the home and yet; without the appropriate conservatory blinds, the space can become intolerably hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.

In order to bring the glazed area to a comfortable temperature additional heating and air conditioning is often required resulting in extra cost and higher carbon emissions. Heat reflective glass can help, but without shading the problems of temperature control, excessive glare and lack of privacy remain inherent to these glass spaces.

Enter Appeal – the nation’s specialists in conservatory blinds and shading solutions. Appeal are most famous for their signature Original French Pinoleum blinds which transfer the suns glare into a soft dappled light and enhance the beauty of a conservatory or glass space. These beautiful bespoke wooden conservatory blinds are installed in homes throughout the U.K and Ireland as well as some of Britain’s leading landmarks from The Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland, Hatfield House in England, through to the award winning Conservatory Restaurant’ at Calcott Manor Hotel.

More recently Appeal have pioneered their stylish Solar R® and Alu-Pleat® blinds which, with an astonishing 85% heat refection capacity, are by far the most heat reflective blinds on the market in the UK.

An independent study by leading environmental consultancy Faber Maunsell examined the thermal effect of various types of blinds in a conservatory throughout the year.

Evidence from the study 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 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%.

With over 20 years experience in providing shading solutions, Appeal offer a range of blinds to suit applications ranging from conservatories and sunrooms to glazed extensions to offices, restaurants and hotels.
