When was Koalashade established?
In whatever form it is the only answer to heat build-up in a glazed building. Heat is prevented from entering the building. Some of the problems associated with alternatives are as follows:
Tinted polycarbonate only reduces glare.
Double glazing increases heat build-up.
Internal blinds don't stop the heat entering and can cause increased heat build-up near the roof, causing some roofs to buckle (e.g. Ultralite 500, Everlite or similar – as confirmed by Ultraframe). They might take the sun off you, but the building remains hot.
Green is the best possible colour for glare reduction and for not showing dirt. It also fits in with the natural colours in your garden.
The mesh works mainly by convection, which takes place on top of the roof. Convection currents take the hot air upwards through the mesh.
Rainwater drains normally.
The rain noise on polycarbonate roofs is greatly reduced and their life is extended by the reduction of U.V.
Good U.V. filtration protects your skin.
Why is it relatively inexpensive?
Measuring and fitting (even shaped) buildings is simple and straightforward using our guidance sheets. Victorian, Edwardian and pavilion buildings are no problem to us – we have years of experience to draw upon – and we are happy to help over the telephone if you are worried at all. Measurement and fitting do not require workmen, so saving you a lot of money. Our shades are designed for basic D.I.Y. skills.
We receive hundreds of accolades from customers. Supershade is a superbly constructed, tough, reinforced and finished product that will give good service for years. You can order with complete confidence that we have been around longer than ALL the major conservatory blind companies – ON TOP, OF COURSE!
Taken in 1985, this inadequate photograph confirms our pioneering role in shading newly emerging domestic conservatories. All curve-fronted structures, such as that illustrated, were not amenable to conventional methods.
The major blind companies have still not adequately addressed heat problems.
