Best blinds for light control

Rooms with doors or lots of glass that let light in can become uncomfortably hot in summer.

Perfect Fit blinds are a sleek solution that help control light and glare, simply clipping into your uPVC frame to become an integral part of the door.

The blind is operated by a tab and the neat fit means that light levels are effectively controlled, especially at the sides of the window where light can sometimes leak through. 

They are are available as Pleated, Roller and Venetian blinds and they are no operating cords or chains with a Perfect Fit blind, so it’s also a great choice for a child’s room or nursery.

The windows in this garden room give amazing views but can let in too much heat and light when the sun shines.

With individual Roman blinds‚ the garden is still the focal point but the blinds can be adjusted to block out any harsh glare as the sun moves throughout the day.

Adding a specialist lining to your Roman blind will help to keep heat in when the winter months come along so you can enjoy your garden room at all times of year.

Conservatories are lovely open spaces to sit and relax, but just like any glass rooms they can get unbearably hot, especially when the sunlight shines directly down through the roof.

Conservatory roof blinds are a great choice for creating shade and a comfortable internal temperature.

Fabrics with a sun reflective coating prevent light from being absorbed in the summer and offer an insulating layer in winter, allowing you to enjoy your conservatory all year round.

We all know how unpredictable British weather can be, so for flexible light control throughout the seasons, think about teaming sheer Voiles with curtains.

In summer, the Voiles allow light to gently filter through your window while maintaining daytime privacy. In the evening and during cooler months, your curtains will add an extra layer of cosiness.

Curtains are particularly good for windows without a recess, or for bay windows where you want a continuous flow around the curve. Choose floor-length curtains for full-on glamour, or, if your window is situated above a radiator or behind a bed, select a length just below the window sill for a neat finish.

While patio and sliding doors are great for bringing in lots of light, strong summer sun can make rooms with lots of glass uncomfortably hot.

Specialist ThermaShade™ Pleated blinds have a solar reflective coating that helps regulate the temperature of a room to keep things cooler during the hot summer months.
