In Brief SOLARshieldis the premium solution to existing overheating conservatories. These specially designed inserts reject 80% of the summer heat compared to blinds (17%) and foiled blinds (35%). Unlike blinds which gather dirt, soot and dust, and need regular maintenance, SOLARshield is encapsulated within the polycarbonate, meaning that once installed no maintenance is required. Blinds obscure the view whereas SOLARshield special sputter film technology works like a one-way mirror, allowing the view from the conservatory to be enjoyed without others from looking in.
