Reflective Blinds
Blinds with a special reflective backing offer a better
solution to the heat problem. Their higher performance means
they reduce the heat slightly more than standard blinds. However
their usually more expensive and still absorb and re-radiate
heat.
Solar Inserts
Solar inserts are fitted inside the hallow of the twin polycarbonate
roof. They are expensive and difficult to fit. Because they
need to be inserted between the polycarbonate sheets the actual
roof of your conservatory may need to be removed to place
them inside effectively. This is typically true with Victorian
Bell style conservatories.
Why use CoolKote?
CoolKote has been designed and developed especially for the
application to internal polycarbonate, glass and plastic roofs.
Once applied it requires little to no maintenance (the only
advice we give is to clean with warm soapy water once a year
to remove dust) and has high solar rejection and anti-glare
properties. Its metallic surface gives a dramatic reduction
in solar heat by continuously reflecting it away.

CoolKote F.A.Q (Frequently asked questions)
Q: How much heat will CoolKote stop?
A: Up to 70% of the heat normally passing though the glazing
system
Q: How does it do this?
A: CoolKote works on the basic principle of reflecting heat
away at source
Q: Does this mean that my conservatory
will be cold in the winter?
A: No. CoolKote is normally applied to the roof. Because the
winters sun is much lower in the sky it can still shine in
through the windows allowing your conservatory to warm naturally
Q: Will CoolKote make my conservatory dark?
A: CoolKote adds a pleasant tint to the roof, in much the
same style as tinted polycarbonate now available. The only
difference is that CoolKote keeps out the heat and is not
for appearance only
Q: Will CoolKote reduce fading of curtains
and furnishings?
A: CoolKote keeps out both ultraviolet (UV) and infrared rays,
which are the major cause of fading. Your furniture, carpets
and curtains will be protected and have a much extended life.
On that point alone CoolKote could pay for itself.

years of satisfaction. We guarantee CoolKote for 10 years
when applied internally or up to five years when applied externally
