Solar Film

In the summer month’s, conservatories are renowned for trapping heat and being unbearable to use, the reason for this is often that once the heat gets in to your conservatory it can’t get out.

If you have a glass roof on your conservatory you can have solar control film fitted to the glass panels on your roof. The film can be fitted in place so there is no need to have your roof dismantled, the benefits of the film are reduced heat gain, up to 77% of the heat is rejected. Reduced glare, up to 78% reduction in glare, and the UV rejection is up to 99% your conservatory furniture etc will be protected from fading.

Why choose film over blinds? Blinds are good at cutting down on glare and stopping the UV rays but they do not stop heat gain. What happens is the heat enters in to your conservatory but then get trapped in between the blind and the roof panel causing the rest of the air inside the conservatory to heat up, once the heat is in it is very hard to cool it down again. Because solar film is fitted to the inside of the glass panels the heat and UV is reflected before it enters your conservatory keeping it cooler all summer long, and as an added bonus it also helps to keep the heat inside your conservatory in the winter!

Blinds can also be a pain to clean; they trap dust flies and cobwebs making them very unsightly at times. As solar film is fitted directly to the glass it is maintenance free.

If you have a polycarbonate roof on your conservatory the solution would be to have solar reflective inserts fitted to your roof. You can find out more information by clicking here.
