Solar inserts for conservatory roof
Has anyone used a firm (local or otherwise) to install solar inserts into their conservatory roof? We have a large conservatory with a south facing garden & already the heat is stifling in there. Any recommendations for firms or other products used to help reduce heat/glare would be appreciated. Thanks

Yes we did, worked a treat! can't remember the company name, but we just bought the inserts and did the work ourselves (or rather my husband did). It was very time consuming, but we have a huge conservatory, but well worth the effort. slightly warmer in the winter too. will see if i can find the name.

Great to hear you thought it worked well - will give Polycool a ring as am hoping they will do the work for us. Many thanks.

I'm glad that someone else here is investigating the problem of a sweltering hot conservatory in summer! Phew![img]http://www.langkawi.dk/smileys/b321.gif[/img]
I am also looking into a kind of tinted solar film that is applied (professionally or DIY) either to the exterior/interior glass.
Has anyone here tried that??
I am getting desperate now, as we just had yet another quote for blinds for the roof which came in at around the £2,000 mark!*J*[img]http://www.langkawi.dk/smileys/b321.gif[/img]
