Roof shading systems for protection from above
At Akena, we offer two main conservatory awning systems.
An external roof awning that can be installed after the construction of your house extension. This awning rejects UV rays while guaranteeing optimal freshness and well-being during the hottest hours of the day. The equipment slides smoothly and closes harmoniously on your roof.
2nd solution? The interior roof awning. This is fitted under the glass roof to keep out the heat in winter and reduce the glare of the sun in summer.
The whole system is easy to operate using a remote control, making it simple to open and close your roof blinds.
What type of curtain for a conservatory?
A made-to-measure choice for optimum comfort
The choice of curtains for your conservatory is crucial to creating a space that is both attractive and functional. A number of factors need to be taken into account, such as the orientation of your conservatory, light and privacy management, and your style preferences.
Orientation: a determining factor
- South-facing conservatory : Choose blackout curtains to limit excessive sunlight and keep the temperature pleasant.
- North- or west-facing conservatory : Curtains or screens are all you need to filter the light while letting in the natural light.
If you opt for thermal insulation and want to preserve your privacy :
- Blackout curtains: lined with a thermal lining, they offer optimum insulation against heat and cold, perfect for rooms exposed to the sun.
- Sheer curtains: in linen or cotton, they add a touch of lightness and provide a degree of privacy while still letting light through.
If you prefer to opt for a more aesthetic and personalised approach :
- Californian blinds: practical and adjustable, they allow you to control light precisely and adapt to all styles.
- Rods and eyelets: Choose elegant rods and curtains with eyelets for a neat finish.
