Blinds for garden room

[595Heaven]

Looking to get some blinds to try and keep the garden room a little cooler in the hot weather.

The internal beading on the windows and doors won’t accept a clip so will need to be the type that stick onto the glass directly. Got some sample colours from Blinds2Go

Anyone have any experience of these? Does the adhesive… adhere?

I have a pair of the window blinds from blinds direct, the stick on frame variety, they stick on fine, I haven't had any issues with the adhesive. However if your seals aren't arrow straight as mine aren't, you'll get bleed through light on the sides where the frame doesn't quite touch the seal, also on the top. I added some black electrical tape to the very top to stop the light bleed, but the sides are a little annoying.

The instructions were also worse than useless and the video guide wasn't much better either.

That being said, I'm still happy with them. They are quite sturdy and I can see them lasting.

We've got vertical blinds in our sunroom which have been closed to keep the heat down,

it's still like being in an oven though

To get the best effect they should be on the outside The blinds will absorb some of the IR and then radiate it back, but because they are inside the fabric of the building they heat up the interior.
