How an awning can enhance your conservatory or glass room
Garden awnings not only provide shade and protection for you and your guests outdoors, but can also lead to further enjoyment of your conservatory or glass room.
One of the best things about a conservatory or glass room is having a cosy indoor space to enjoy natural light year-round, allowing you to appreciate the feeling of the outdoors even during colder months. However, all this sunlight can lead to blinding glare and the quick build-up of heat, potentially making it uncomfortable. This is where one of our awnings can help, especially during those hotter days.
Total control over shading
The lack of any opaque walls or ceiling in a conservatory or glass room means that there is no shade whatsoever and so no respite from the sun’s rays. Not only may this leave you squinting into the brightness, it can also lead to the rapid build-up of heat inside, not unlike a greenhouse effect, making the air stifling and uncomfortable.
The installation of a glass roof shading system, such as the B127 Veranda system, will make your conservatory or glass room truly enjoyable even during the hottest summer days. The awning is fitted above your glass roof, deflecting the sun’s rays before they enter, so that you can enjoy the space glare-free and at a comfortable temperature. Our glass roof awnings can be extended and retracted at the touch of a button, and even come with an extension option beyond the front of your conservatory if you require additional shade.
Shade that stops heat before it reaches the glass
Because the awning sits above the roof, it deflects the sun’s rays before they pass through the glass at all. Shading fitted inside the conservatory works after the fact: the heat is already in the room, and the blind is left absorbing it. Stopping the sunlight outside is what makes the difference between a room that is a few degrees cooler and one you can comfortably sit in on an August afternoon. For complete control the awning can be paired with conservatory window blinds.
It protects more than your comfort, too. Direct sunlight through glass is what fades upholstery, rugs and timber flooring, and a conservatory concentrates it. An external awning takes the worst of that out before it reaches the room.
Just as importantly, it retracts completely. In the colder months you can roll the awning right back and let the sunlight and warmth in, which is the whole reason for having a glass roof in the first place.
