What are the advantages of incorporating closure solutions into a conservatory?
Better insulation
Roller shutters contribute to better thermal insulation, maintaining a pleasant temperature in your living space. In fact, they create an effective barrier against the outside elements. This means you can enjoy your conservatory all year round, whatever the weather.
Enhanced protection and safety
Installing roller shutters on a conservatory provides triple value by enhancing protection, security and preserving your privacy. They deter intruders, offer protection from the sun and bad weather, and keep your living space safe from prying eyes.
Enhanced comfort
You have total control over the amount of natural light that enters your space, allowing you to adapt the ambience to each moment of the day. What's more, roller shutters act as an effective barrier against outside noise, creating a peaceful, quiet indoor environment in which to relax, work or simply enjoy a moment of peace and quiet.
A more aesthetic and practical space
As well as being easy to maintain, shutters are simple to operate, especially when they are fitted with a motorised system. Their customisable appearance also suits all styles of conservatory. Akena, for example, offers you a wide range of colours and finishes to choose from, so that your structure matches your needs in terms of exterior design.
What shutter options are available for this structure?
Roof or front shutters
There are two types of roller shutter you can install in your conservatory: roof shutters and front shutters.
Roof shutters, often rolling or sliding, regulate light, block out excessive heat, improve thermal and acoustic insulation, and protect against the elements.
Side shutters, also known as front shutters, are closing elements installed on the sides of a bay window or a window. Designed to control light, ventilation and privacy, these shutters can be sliding, folding, rolling or fixed.
The different types of roller shutter
Traditional roller shutters: these are installed on the outside of the conservatory and can be rolled up or unrolled manually using a crank. They provide effective solar and thermal protection.
Motorised roller shutters: similar to traditional shutters, but fitted with an electric motor that opens and closes automatically using a remote control or switch.
Integrated roller shutters: these are designed to blend discreetly into the structure of the conservatory, providing a uniform aesthetic appearance. They are motorised.
How much will it cost to install integrated shutters on a house extension?
The cost of installing roller shutters on a conservatory or house extension depends on a number of factors, including the surface area to be protected, the model of shutters, the materials used, and options such as motorisation.
In all cases, we advise you to consult a professional when designing your future conservatory with closing solutions! He or she will be able to help you choose the type of shutters or blinds that best suit your preferences and budget.
