Do conservatory blinds really help with summer heat?

Yes — thermal-coated pleated and Luxaflex roof blinds reflect a large proportion of solar gain back through the glass. In our experience they typically reduce peak conservatory temperature by 5–8°C in mid-summer.

What's the warranty on the install?

5 years on the installation work and a lifetime guarantee on the product itself for plantation shutters. Blinds carry the manufacturer's warranty plus our 5-year install warranty.

How do I know I'm getting a fair price for roller blinds?

Every quote is itemised per window — frame, fabric, fixings, fitting. Compare line-by-line with any other Kent quote and we're confident on price and on spec.

What fabric should I choose for a bedroom?

A blackout fabric in a cassette headrail gives the darkest result, with side channels to seal the edges if total dark-out is essential.

Roller Blinds for conservatories & bi-fold doors: what we look for

Conservatories and bi-fold doors create the largest, most exposed glazing in the home. Without the right blinds the room becomes a sun-trap in summer, an icebox in winter, and almost impossible to use during peak glare.

Pleated and Luxaflex roof systems with thermal-coated fabrics make the biggest single difference to conservatory temperature.
Bi-fold doors need free-hanging, perfect-fit or stack-back systems that don't fight the operating handles.
Linked control or motorisation matters once you're operating four or more drops in one wall.
Side-channel and cassette options keep wind from rattling fabric on exposed seafront and downland properties.
