Orangeries are an excellent and modern alternative to a conservatory, but they also come with their own set of challenges; not least of all requiring a unique set of blinds…
Orangery blinds offer a whole new dimension in shading. The lantern roofs found an in orangery allows for both individual blinds, and our elegant range of horizontal lantern blinds.

Our team of experts have designed blinds to account for any type of orangery and style. From larger horizontal lantern blinds, to intricately shaped blinds, we have the knowledge to provide a neat fit.
Orangeries have the option of having either individual blinds in the roof, or larger horizontal blinds covering the bottom of the lantern. Which style you pick is up to you, either way you are getting blinds that will transform your orangery.
Our Pure™ lantern roof blinds let you adjust just how much light you want to let into your life … and your favourite room.
Too hot in the summer but too chilly in the winter? Our Pure™ lantern roof blinds let you regulate your environment, cooling in the summer, insulating in the colder months.
Suffering from excessive glare? Our Pure™ lantern roof blinds not only reduce harsh light but can shield your furniture and rugs from UV-induced fading.
One of the benefits of a horizontal lantern blind is that they can be made totally wire-free in some situations. This means that when the blinds are retracted, you get an unobstructed view of your roof.

There are two main ways to fit blinds into an orangery roof:
1. Shaped roof blinds are fitted individually against the glass and tailored to fit your roof precisely. This option opens up the window space and allows you to choose which blind you want down or up depending on how the sun passes across the windows. Our unique blinds have been designed to fit into almost any awkward space you have in your roof.
2. Horizontal Blinds typically involve one or two larger blinds fitted on rails on either side of the roof. These blinds allow you to control the amount of heat and light coming into the room without having to buy a lot of blinds to cover each panel of glass. When shut, horizontal blinds can also lower the air volume of the room below, making it easier to heat.
Yes, adding a lantern roof blind to your room will help reduce heat transmission, and so keep your room cooler in the warmer months. As it also improves insulation, it will also help keep the heat in the room during the colder months when the weather cools down.
Dim-out fabrics are not recommended with individually fitted blinds. Because the fabric sits close to the glass, a large amount of heat build-up can occur than can potentially cause damage.
However we can use dim-out fabrics with horizontal blinds in an orangery roof. Because the fabric sits further away from the glass heat build-up is not an issue, and you can have blinds that darken the roof and control temperature.
Where we fit the frame of the lantern roof blind can depend on the exact design of the lantern itself, however in general it does not matter if the blind is fitted higher up, closer to the glass, or lower down near the base of the lantern.
