Can anyone please help?
Went to a customer who has conservatory and was asking advice on what he can have there to stop the sun/heat radiating through, I tell yer, it was hot in there when the sun came out, also it appears this roof is not sun reflective.
I thought rectangle roof ones!
Over all size is W = 260cm x L = 331.7 reducing to 330.7
Problem is they are too long - or are they
Any help/advice would be appreciated - could pass onto Specialist but this is an easy enough roof job other than length
Cheers Dave

25mm pleated roof will go to 400cm with a max width of 137cm
Max rectangular area is 6 sq.meters, so in theory you could get a rect. pleated roof to do 400 x 150cm

For blind 1 I entered 145.5 cm x 331.7, blind 2 150.4 x 330.7, I then divided the roof into 4 then each blind becomming 65cm but still had the same problem with the length!!  |

Are you sure you selected 25mm? 20mm is limited to 300, but like grumperbear says, 25mm will go up to 400cm drop. I've done loads and loads of these on SAM, no problem |

I've done loads and loads of these on SAM, no problem Just done one like this this week. Sold the advantage of the powercrank 20ml system to customer but drop was 305 so too long for rectangles. Told customer about 25 ml, but they really wanted 20ml so have agreed to fixed rec blinds of 21 deep (lines up with shape in con roof) at top of rec roof then rec powercrank at drop of 284. Nice value order for me............more expensive than the 25ml!  Karen ;D |

25mm pleated roof will go to 400cm with a max width of 137cm Max rectangular area is 6 sq.meters, so in theory you could get a rect. pleated roof to do 400 x 150cm Sorry grumperbear - that's why u peeps are specialists - I was indeed selecting 20mm instead of 25mm and I have tried it and now accepts my measurements many thanks, one more piece of advice if you will please - what are the Top 'L' and BTM 'L' Profilies there's not a lot of info in the manual. I appreciate your help. Thanks NB: I don't pretent to know about conservatory roofs therefore, I leave this type of work to those of you who are trained/experienced in conservatory roof blinds and also pass on to the specialist team any conservatories that come up in any of my standard appointments, however, this particular roof is quite straight forward (bar the questions of help from me on this one). I may one day decide to get trained on conservatory roofs but quite happy for now with the standard blinds. |

I wouldnt be without it Excuse my ignorance Phugly you say they assist in fitting the blinds what are they exactly, cheers It's like angle iron, except it's aluminium, or in Hillarysspeak it's in the shape of an L. If you can't easily top or face fix, you run a length of L profile along top/bottom of conservatory and fix to the roof beams, then screw top fix brackets to L profile. If yours is as straightforward as you say, you won't need any, but order 2 lengths at 300cm each anyway and you'll see what it is. |
