Pinoleum Blinds, Nottingham

Conservatory Type: Oakleaf timber conservatory, Lantern roof, 6m x 6m at base, glass roof

The Problem

Large blinds covering 3 or 4 roof panes each, were required to keep the number of blinds to a minimum with the least amount of gaps possible.

The Solution

Only pinoleum could cover this width & still be operational by pole. Electric pinoleum blinds were simply not wanted, for price reasons, as it was envisaged that the blinds would be left up covering the roof all year round, & rarely operated. Pinoleum blinds can be tensioned up to result in minimal, if any, sagging, although the natural appearance of roman blinds is slightly billowy, between folds, which adds to the rustic charm of the wood.
