Pleated blinds are arguably the best looking conservatory blind. They are available in a huge range of fabrics and colours and look modern.
Always make sure that you measure your windows with a steel tape. Never use a cloth tape. Measure sizes to the nearest eighth of an inch to ensure accuracy. Windows are not usually perfectly square...so don't worry - you probably won't notice!

If you want to wash aluminium blinds, use a damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent or cleaner. Use warm or cold water - never use hot water. Make sure that you tilt the slats. Protect the floor or sill from excess water. The blind can also be taken down, placed in a bath tub of mild soapy water, then rinsed clean, wiped dry, or allowed to dry completely in the open air.
Velux roller blinds are practical and cost effective. There are many designs to choose from, and they are especially suited to day rooms, lofts, and home offices.
