A sunshade in the conservatory protects you from very high temperatures, especially in summer. You can find out what protection options are available to you here.
A conservatory is a fine thing. You can sit comfortably outside in both summer and winter and spend quality time. In winter you can be really cozy in the conservatory when the sun shines through the glass. In the summer, however, the sun can heat up the room so much that the air becomes really stuffy and you feel like you're in a sauna.
You should find suitable sun protection so that you don't have to sizzle in your conservatory when it's over 40 degrees in summer, but can comfortably enjoy the end of the day.
Sun protection in the winter garden
You have the option of installing sun protection on the outside or counteracting the sun from the inside.
Advantages and disadvantages of external shading
To prevent the heat from entering the conservatory in the first place, it makes the most sense to install the sun protection on the outside, as the sun's rays are reflected immediately. Of course, rain, wind and dirt become disadvantages here. The protection should definitely be wind and weatherproof.
Advantages and disadvantages of interior shading
You clearly have more options for sun protection from the inside. You can coordinate these with your entire interior and thus create a cozy flair. They also provide privacy at the same time. The sun is not shielded quite as much here as with external shading, but still enough to avoid sitting in the sweltering heat.
Sun protection in the conservatory from outside
Attach awning
An awning is not only ideal as sun protection for gardens and terraces, but also for conservatories. This runs on guide rails and can be attached to the roof or side walls, depending on the construction. You can look for professional support here so that the extension is carried out professionally and you do not have any trouble with damage to the house wall afterwards.
All areas can be shaded with an awning, from straightto vertical to sloping surfaces. There are different versions of conservatory awnings, so you can use them to cover entire glass surfaces or just individual ones so that you don't cover any ventilation flaps.
When the awning is not needed or when the wind and rain are approaching, you can retract it to prevent damage.
Mount roller shutters
Many roller shutters can be attached to your conservatory. An expensive but very effective way to protect yourself from the heat.
However, a major disadvantage here is that when mounted on side walls, the view to the outside is completely blocked. Unfortunately, you don't get much of your beautiful idyll and the blooming flowers when you sit in the conservatory.
In winter, however, roller shutters are the best way to store the heat in the conservatory.
» Tip: You can open and close electric roller shutters at the touch of a button. This function can be retrofitted to your conventional roller shutters at any time with a roller shutter motor.
Tenten the sun sail
An awning is a cloth made of a strong fabric that many people like to use as sun protection. With an awning, the construction of the conservatory doesn't really matter. This is simply stretched over the conservatory.
Sun sails can be easily attached to house walls and free-standing posts using the corner points. How you attach the sun sail is up to you.
Sun protection in the conservatory from the inside
Blinds
Blinds are a very popular way to protect yourself from the sun in the conservatory. You can usually move them up and down using a rope and then also influence the alignment of the slats. The slats are usually made of aluminum, cheap PVC or wood. In addition to sun protection, you also have privacy protection.
Venetian blinds are now available in a wide variety of colors, so you can choose them as you wish. The assembly of blinds can take place in very different ways. Either directly on the pane, on the window frame, in the window niche and on the wall or ceiling.
Vertical blinds
Vertical vertical blinds are often used in public spaces such as hospitals, but they also work well as sunshades for conservatories. Vertical blinds are particularly useful for windows that extend over a complete front. These slats are often made of a stronger material, which is also found indifferent colors to buy.
You can use a rope to open and close this curtain and also open the slats at different angles. Depending on where the sun is coming from, you have the best protection. Vertical slats are particularly suitable for allergy sufferers, as virtually no dirt or dust can collect on the vertical slats.
The slats are attached to a rail that you can simply screw to the ceiling.
Use roller blinds
Roller blinds are probably familiar to most people. They are available in different sizes and lengths. Everyone is likely to find something to their liking here. The choice of colors also leaves nothing to be desired today.
Blinds offer good protection from the sun and keep the heat out.
Attach pleated blinds
Pleated blinds are foldable blinds that can be pulled up and down on a thin rope. They are very easy to attach to the windows by screwing them on. Pleated blinds are available in different sizes and colors so that they fit individually into your conservatory. These foldable roller blinds are even available for skylights so that the sun doesn't heat up from above.
