Orangery & Lantern Roof Blinds from Express Essex Blinds
We understand that Orangeries & Roof Lanterns are becoming extremely popular especially on home extensions.
Unfortunately, like many Conservatories without a shading system they are always too hot in the summer & too cold in the winter which can make these areas unbearable & often unused.
At Express Essex Blinds we have a number of different shading systems available these include:
- Cellular Pleated Roof Blind System (Manual & Motorised)
- Twin Cellular Pleated Roof Blind System (Motorised Only)
- SkyTrak Cellular Pleated Roof Blind (Motorised)
- SkyLite Cellular Pleated Roof Blind (Manual)
- The Rooflight Roller Blind System (Motorised Only)
- The Twin Rooflight Roller Blind System (Motorised Only)
Please see below for further information on the different systems available.
Cellular Pleated Roof Blind System
These blinds are ideal for small and large roof windows especially if a mains power supply is not available.
Manual blinds with an operating pole can be made up to 1800mm wide then anything above that width would need to be motorised.
The motorised blinds can be solar powered via a small solar panel (ruler size) that trickle charges the battery throughout the year allowing these blinds to work without the need for a mains power supply as mentioned above.
Motorised blind systems come with Somfy motors which are the market leaders with regards to blind automation, they are smooth, quiet and come with a 5 year warranty.
These blinds run smoothly across guidewires via the touch of a button on a hand held remote allowing you full control of your shading. Our range of cellular fabrics are extremely energy efficient and look great.
The unique honeycomb design adds a thermal insulation barrier between the room and the roof window.
Please Note: These blinds do have visible guidewires when the blind is in the open position, these cords enable the blind to work correctly and retain tension.
Available in 4-6 weeks approx.
Maximum size available in this Blind System is 3m wide by 3.2m long.
