Conservatory Blinds Fabrics

You have probably found that during certain climatic conditions, your conservatory is either unbearably hot in summer or likely to be like a fridge during the winter. Our unique range of thermal fabrics provide all year temperature and light control. Both Energy Saver and Reflektions are high performance fabrics that are particularly ideal for conservatories. All our energy saving conservatory blinds have been independently certified by Oxford Brookes University.

Energy Saver Conservatory Blind Fabric

Energy Saver is a unique laminated material that incorporates a highly reflective aluminised film that was developed from the space programme. The film was originally used on the Apollo Lunar Module and helped protect the astronauts by reflecting solar heat whilst insulating the craft from the cold of space itself. Energy Saver works all-year-round, helping to keep the room cool in summer and warm in winter.

Table of Comparison for Solar Energy

When solar energy meets glass, portions of it are reflected (R), absorbed (A) or transmitted (T) - giving you the RAT equation

Tests calculated in accordance with ISO 9050 by Brookes University using single glazed window.

• 1. Shading Co-efficient
  This is a figure between 0 and 1 that allows you to compare the efficiency of a fabric to keep the room cool. The lower the figure the better.
  
  
• 2. Emissivity
  A figure between 0 and 1 that allows you to compare the efficiency of a fabric to keep the room warm. The lower the figure the better.
  
  
• 3. Light Fastness
  The light fastness of a colour or pigment is how permanent it is, or how unaffected by light it is. In the UK the scale is from 1 - 8 with 8 being the most permanent
