WHY DOES IT WORK SO WELL?

WHY DON'T ROOF BLINDS WORK SO WELL?

Roof blinds will reduce the glare and darken your conservatory, but the heat still becomes trapped in the space between your roof and the blinds, thus re-radiating the heat back into your conservatory.

WHY DON'T SOLAR INSERTS WORK AS WELL?

Because solar inserts are inside the polycarbonate, they trap all the sun's heat and U.V rays inside the hollows of the polycarbonate. This could lead to the polycarbonate being damaged; warping, turning yellow and brittle, due to excessive heat build up inside the polycarbonate. Therefore why take unnecessary risks.

DOES THIS MEAN MY CONSERVATORY WILL BE COLD IN THE WINTER?
