It is a luxury to have a conservatory in which to enjoy long summer evenings or to relax in during the weekend. However with the baking heat of the summer creating a greenhouse effect this is not always possible in comfort. This summer why not invest in blinds from the ingenious, heat reflecting, Duette® and Plissé pleated conservatory collection from Luxaflex® and control the temperature in your conservatory all year round?

The blinds are designed to reflect the intense sunlight of the summer but also trap the heat between the soft pleated fabric to create an insulating layer of air for the winter months. Choose from Plissé blinds: a single layer of pleated fabric or Duette® blinds: a double layered, honeycomb fabric structure, both of which offer exclusive design innovations, small pleat width options and new protective coatings.

Because of the asymmetrical honeycomb structure of Duette®, it offers a crisp, even pleated effect from the top of the shade to the bottom, with no flattening to the pleats. The range has been uniquely adapted to reflect intense sunlight in the warmer months. The honeycomb design also works in a similar way to double glazing by trapping warm air in pockets of fabric, and so insulates a room during the winter months.

The Plissé range, which also offers superior temperature and light control, is now available in a smaller 20mm pleat width offering a more contemporary and neat style to a blind and can be fitted within the frame of the window. The Plissé range is available in burn-out and jacquard fabrics as well as linen, crushed satin and paper effects all in a host of shades from blue, green and purple to red, pink and neutrals, plus you can chose from either a blackout or metallized backing for extra light control.

Three exclusive fabric treatments have been introduced to the Duette® and Plissé collections. Topar® and DustblockTM both help to extend the lifespan of the blinds by reflecting light and repelling dust, perfect for protecting your furnishing and plants from the sunlight. SanaplusTM offers antibacterial protection and can help combat mould found in conservatories vulnerable to condensation.

Retail prices for Plissé blinds start from £41.00 and Duette blinds from £53.00 for a blind measuring 40cm x 40cm.

Luxaflex blinds can be found at over 2,000 independent furnishing stores nationwide. For specific stockist information please telephone 0800 652 7799 or visit the website at www.luxaflex.co.uk
