Shading in the conservatory: an overview of the best systems

Shading in the conservatory is particularly relevant for a pleasant temperature in the living space and more privacy. A conservatory is the perfect place to enjoy daylight at any time of year. However, in summer in particular, intense sunlight can quickly cause the room to overheat. This is why effective shading is essential in conservatories - for a pleasant room climate, optimum glare protection and long-term comfort.

ROMA vertical awnings and external venetian blinds are the ideal solution for shading conservatories from the outside. In this article, you can find out how you can best shade your conservatory and what options ROMA offers you.

Advice on the subject of conservatory shading

Thanks to their generous glazing, conservatories are particularly flooded with light and create a natural ambience. On the other hand, however, this also means that the living space is exposed to the sun without shading. Without suitable solar shading, the indoor temperature rises quickly in summer and can lead to unpleasant overheating of the room. This problem can be solved with an intelligent sun shading solution for the conservatory. It provides:

• Summer heat protection: prevents overheating in the summer months in an energy-saving way.

• Glare protection for the home: Reduces glare from bright sunlight and ensures pleasant lighting conditions.

• UV protection: Less UV radiation protects the skin, furniture and plants.

• Privacy screen: Provides more privacy if desired.

In principle, conservatories can be shaded internally or externally. External systems have the advantage of blocking the sun's rays from outside the window. This prevents heat from spreading in the room. Internal shading options only block the sun's rays behind the glass front. Although the room heats up more slowly than without shading, the temperature still rises.

Textile Screens for conservatories - also known as vertical awnings - are made of weather-resistant fabrics that reflect the sun's rays and reliably protect the interior from heating up. The view outside is maintained thanks to the transparency of the Fabrics, while up to 70 percent of the sun's rays are reflected.

ExternalVenetian blind s - also known as external venetian blinds - with adjustable slats ensure precise light control that can be adjusted as required at any time. The blinds are therefore particularly suitable for shading in conservatories with large glass fronts facing south or west.

External Venetian Blinds from ROMA also have a wide range of design options. The color of the box, the guide rail and the end bar can be individually selected for the external venetian blinds. This means that this sun shading system also blends in perfectly with the existing architecture and creates a harmonious overall look.

Electric conservatory shading not only offers maximum ease of use, but can also be optimally integrated into Smart Home systems. Individual elements or entire shading groups can be operated as required at the touch of a button or via an app.

With ROMA Smart Home, the electric sun shading for the conservatory can be controlled via smartphone or automatically. Thanks to smart technology, the shading can be precisely adjusted to the position of the sun, time or outside temperature. Intelligent control is made possible by integrating timers, weather and sun sensors into the Smart Home system or via systems such as Somfy TaHoma, Loxone, KNX or elero .

Retrofitting external shading in conservatories is generally possible without major structural changes. External Venetian Blinds and Textile Screens from ROMA in particular can be easily fitted to existing buildings and blend harmoniously into the existing architecture. Nevertheless, there are still some aspects to consider when retrofitting conservatory shading:

• Statics and fixing points

• Accessibility of the surfaces

• Control options (manual or electric)

• Integration into the Smart Home
