Pleated roofblinds on conservatory roof vents

Conservatories can become very hot in summer and one way to help to keep them cool is to install fully opening roof vents. The vents can be manually or electrically actuated. Pleated roof blinds will provide help with the heat and glare but the blinds must retract when the window vent is open.The actuator, if electric or screw jack, if manual prevents the the blind travelling from top to bottom.

The snappy solution is to make one pleated roof blind in which the top section goes to the top and the bottom section goes to the bottom. The roof blind can be fully opened or closed across the roof vent window. The roof blind can be retracted both ways and the vent opened to allow hot air to escape.

How to fit vertical blinds in conservatories

Most of the time we have use right angled extendable face fix brackets to fit vertical blinds in conservatories.

The brackets have to be long enough to allow the vertical blind slats to be clear of the window handles when they are fully open. The vertical blind bracket is screwed into a nylon gromet which allows the blind positioned closer to or further from the window as required. This feature is useful when we need to run vertical blinds into the corners in conservatories.

To fit or not to fit

Fitting is the most challenging part of the window blind buying process.

Window blinds are installed using different types of attachment brackets which need to be fixed where the blind is suspended. Once the brackets are fixed in place the rest is easy.

The difficult bit is drilling the holes in the correct location and having a drill which is powerful enough to penetrate the window lintel or wall.
