conservatory glass
See the possibilities and feel the benefits with year round comfort
Purchasing a conservatory is a major decision which, depending upon the size, quality and design, can be a significant investment. Main considerations are, of course, style, appearance, privacy and comfort and it’s here where decisions about the type of glass and the shading system make all the difference. Remember, you want your conservatory to look good and to perfectly suit your needs to create versatile, valuable and comfortable additional space.
When it comes to choosing the right glass and shading for your conservatory, it may be tempting to focus on how the roof glazing will perform and perhaps think about blinds and curtains once it is installed and you are onto the décor stage. But it is really important to think carefully about the side-wall glass at an early stage too and incorporate integrated blinds.
But why? The side-walls are where a large proportion of the sun’s light and heat will enter the conservatory, even where you have a glass or polycarbonate roof. And as more of us install solid roofs on our conservatories, the side-wall glazing becomes even more important as it becomes the only way for light and heat to transmit outside to inside, and vice versa.
We will help you get your conservatory side-wall glazing right. Our solution provides the conservatory with bespoke glazing units which combine the latest generation of glass products with high quality Uni-Blinds integrated blind systems to tick all the boxes.
Uni-Blinds are available with five different control systems offering Venetian and pleated integrated blind options for your conservatory. With a range of colours to choose from, they allow the conservatory sidewalls to be carefully tailored to achieve the perfect look from the outset.
Our glass options include self-cleaning glass, energy saving thermally-superior glass and solar control glass from the world’s leading manufacturers. These products represent some of the biggest advanced in glass technology in recent decades making them ideal for use with Uni-Blinds.
Choosing Uni-Blinds for your conservatory side-walls will help you achieve the ideal internal climate and give you privacy as and when you want it. The inside of your conservatory will not only feel better, it will look less cluttered too as Uni-Blinds are permanently sealed inside the double glazed unit – that instantly gives a light and airy feel to any conservatory.
