Melbourne Glass Roof Blinds
A glass roof or atrium can wonderfully enhance your home by allowing in abundant sunlight during the winter months, but it can also lead to uncomfortably high temperatures underneath when the weather warms up. Clarks offers a solution with motorized atrium shades that can be extended over your glass roof to block out the sun’s intense rays.
With just the push of a button, you can enjoy instant shade, which not only makes your air conditioning more effective but also helps prevent your furnishings from fading. Equipped with options for sun sensors, timers, and wind sensors, these shades ensure that your space remains shaded and protected automatically, all day and all year round.

What to Consider When Installing Glass Roof Blinds
We custom build and fit our glass roof blinds directly from our base of operations in Melbourne. Here are some answers to common questions from customers on our custom installations.
How do you shade a glass roof?
For many years, pleated blinds have been the preferred choice for shading glazed roofs. These blinds can be opened or closed as required, offering flexibility in light control. Pleated blinds also add a traditional aesthetic to any space, significantly reducing natural light and providing effective protection from the sun’s rays.
How do you cool down a room with a glass roof?
If you find your conservatory uncomfortably hot during the summer, these six strategies will help you create a cooler, more enjoyable space:
1. Install Blinds
Blinds are not only a stylish addition to your conservatory but also a functional one. By blocking direct sunlight, blinds can significantly reduce the interior temperature. They also serve as excellent insulators in the winter, keeping the space warm and cozy.
2. Apply Cooling Film to Glass
Cooling film can reflect about 80% of the sun’s rays and UV light, protecting your skin and furnishings while reducing heat. This affordable solution (as low as £12 for 50mm) can be applied to existing windows. However, due to the potential complexity of installation, it is advisable to use professional services.
3. Install Air Conditioning
Air conditioning is a more costly option but extremely effective in regulating your conservatory’s temperature. Systems range from £400 to £1,000 and can often heat the space during winter as well as cooling it in summer.
4. Opt for Soft, Light Furnishings
Your choice of decor can influence the temperature. Opt for soft fabrics in light colors, like whites and pastels, and avoid heat-absorbing materials such as leather.
5. Increase Ventilation
Improving air flow can naturally cool your conservatory. Open windows and doors to boost ventilation. Consider installing a conservatory fan, vents, or a skylight if your structure allows, or even think about a complete roof replacement for optimal cooling.
6. Replace the Conservatory Roof with a Glass Roof Blind from Clarks
If other cooling methods fall short, replacing the roof might be necessary. A new roof made from thermally efficient materials can significantly enhance comfort by keeping the conservatory cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
