uPVC Conservatories and Integral Blinds Project, Henley

By icaal | Conservatories Henley-on-Thames

uPVC Conservatories and Integral Blinds Project, Henley

With a traditional cottage look, one couple in Henley knew they needed to change their conservatory to include integral blinds but wanted to keep a cottage-looking appearance.

Their end-goal was to counteract the consequences of having a southern facing conservatory, whilst maintaining its original appearance.

Making sure their conservatory was usable and comfortable all year round was an important and vital aspect for their reason to renovate, and the team at Abbey were proud to help.

integral blinds project henley

Keep the Appearance, Reduce the Heat

This Henley home was becoming overheated in the summer, making it unbearable and uncomfortable for its occupants.

What the couple realised is to keep their conservatory feeling comfortable and more enjoyable, they must change their windows and incorporate a set of integral blinds.

This is where the team at Abbey were proud to help. The couple had an idea in mind of what they wanted their conservatory to look like and presented their vision to us.

The Solution

The vision the couple had was to create a well-ventilated, comfortable conservatory that can be used all year round, without the unbearable heat.

With this vision, the couple found products in our showroom that they loved. They then spoke to our experts who were able to assist them in purchasing their products.

Our range of cottage style windows was exactly what the couple wanted due to their ability to bring in copious amounts of natural light, brightening up their dark conservatory.

As well as this, they looked at our range of stunning integral blinds, designed to fit perfectly into any conservatory. From the range, they chose a set of white pleated blinds to block out the harsh heat.

Integral Blinds

Our Henley couple were facing a big problem of having a conservatory that is excruciatingly hot in the summer months.

Their solution was one that we could help with. When choosing their uPVC conservatory, they looked at our range of integral blinds that were guaranteed to be a perfect fit.

They liked the design and found the price to be reasonable, so decided to install a set of integral blinds into their conservatory.

Choosing white pleated blinds, they can now quickly and easily create the results they want by opening or closing their blinds.

uPVC Windows

Like this couple, if you have a conservatory or home this is darker than you’d like, our range of stunning uPVC windows are ideal for making sure your living area is brighter than before.

With larger window panes and smaller sightlines, your uPVC windows will invite copious amounts of natural light into your conservatory, creating the illusion of extra space.

Available in a range of stunning colours, you can customise your uPVC windows to suit the design features in your conservatory, creating a seamless blend between your windows and conservatory.

uPVC Conservatory and Integral Blinds Installation – The Final Result

Having battled with a conservatory that is too hot, uncomfortable and dark, the couple decided to enlist the help of Abbey to transform their living areas.

They chose to install a set of stunning uPVC windows whilst utilising the opportunity to incorporate integral blinds, completing their vision for their conservatory.

By doing so, they transformed their conservatory from a dark space to a brighter area that brings in a wealth of natural light, whilst maintaining their current cottage-style aesthetic.

They are exceptionally happy with their purchase and the installation (our team leave your house just as they found it – clean and tidy), making this a huge success!

Thermally Efficient Modern Conservatories

Traditional conservatories were often constructed from a single glazed profile and topped with a polycarbonate roof.

Therefore on cold days, these conservatories would be full of condensation and so cold, that they were unusable. In the summer, the sun would turn them into an oven, making them so uncomfortable you would prefer to sit in the fresh air outside.

Modern conservatories have been precision engineered to ensure that these experiences are memories.

At Abbey Conservatories, we create our installations with the Liniar uPVC profile. This clever system has a multi-chambered design and is fitted with quality double glazing, making it a bold choice for conservatories.

The excellent Windows Energy Rating of A+12 ensures that heat remains within your living space, even on the coldest of days, making it a comfortable place to be.

You can also opt for our solar control glass and Ultraframe roofs to ensure that in the summer, the oven effect diminishes.

Our modern conservatories in Reading are the perfect solution for your home improvements, providing you with additional living space that you can experience all year round.

Highly Secure Modern Conservatories

Of course, one of the many benefits of modern conservatories is the increased security. Our conservatories are simply outstanding for home protection.

Your old conservatory may well be weak and brittle, making it vulnerable to potential intruders. Our state of the art designs will make your home safer and more secure.

The profiles have hidden strengthening technology, which creates a significantly strong frame, almost impossible to break, and every opening in your conservatory is secure with Yale locks.

Our Yale multipoint locking mechanisms are outstanding, offering the best protection there is for your property. This makes your conservatory much more secure.

You can have complete peace of mind that your Reading home is under full protection with our modern conservatories.
