South Facing Garage Conversion Fitted With External Venetian Blind
South Facing Garage Conversion Fitted With External Venetian Blind
Our client in Kew Gardens had transformed their extended garage into a beautiful living area. However, due to the south-facing orientation, the room experienced excessive heat gain, making it uncomfortable during warmer months. The client sought a shading solution that would provide a balance of view-through, privacy, and heat reduction, without compromising the aesthetic appeal of their newly renovated space.
Solution
After understanding the client’s specific requirements, we recommended the installation of external Venetian blinds. This solution was ideal for the client's needs, offering several advantages:
Key Benefits of External Venetian Blinds:
Heat Reduction: The blinds significantly reduce heat gain by blocking direct sunlight, making the living space cooler and more comfortable.
Adjustable Light Control: The slats can be easily adjusted to control the amount of natural light entering the room, providing flexibility to suit different times of the day.
Enhanced Privacy: The blinds can be positioned to allow light in while maintaining privacy, an essential feature for a room facing a busy street or neighbouring properties.
View-Through: Despite providing privacy, the blinds offer a view-through feature, allowing the client to enjoy the outside scenery without sacrificing comfort.
Installation
Our team expertly installed the external Venetian blinds, ensuring a seamless fit with the existing architecture of the garage-turned-living space. The installation was completed efficiently, with careful attention to detail to match the client’s design aesthetic.
Results
The installation of the external Venetian blinds has transformed the living space into a comfortable and versatile area. The client now enjoys a cooler environment, even on the hottest days, thanks to the effective reduction of heat gain. The adjustable blinds offer perfect control over light and privacy, creating a comfortable and adaptable space.

Top Tips for new builds and extensions
Check the orientation of your extension, plan for shading early and speak to an expert about the options available.
If designing a new build, we recommend you design in recessed pockets to accommodate any shading product so that they disappear from view when not in use. Get power installed into these pockets.
When used externally, darker colours are more effective at reducing heat-gain and give better view-through.
