Staying in the Shade

Garden Room

Not everyone enjoys the heat of the sun, and many of us now realise that staying in the shade is better for our skin. Conservatories can become so hot in the summer that they are uncomfortable for you and your plants. Both inside and out we can suggest the perfect way to stay in the shade this summer. Now with 10% off!

Keep your conservatory cool
Conservatories can become very hot in high summer. So, if you want to be able to use the room in comfort you will need to invest in some roof blinds and perhaps also window blinds. You will get all these benefits:

            •           Keep your conservatory cool in the summer

            •           Prevent heat loss and help keep the conservatory warm in winter

            •           Provide welcome shade for you and your plants

            •           Protect furnishings and fabrics from the damaging effects of the sun

            •           Give added privacy and create a cosy atmosphere

Stylish and elegant, original French Pinoleum is the traditional fabric for conservatory blinds. It transforms the sun’s glare into a soft, dappled light and effectively controls room temperature. The blinds are available in a choice of 20 beautiful shades and leading technology ensures the blinds are cut to a perfect fit - for even the most difficult angles.

 Staying out of the sun

The Nicosia cantilever parasol, with concrete base

A sturdy parasol, efficiently providing a wide area of shade, which can be moved to where it is most needed, is the answer to outside shade. In the absence of a shady pergola (and we can provide the beginnings of that too!), our selection of parasols has something for every terrace, garden or poolside.

The Antigua Cantilever is the ultimate parasol - it looks stunning and provides a large, flexible area of shade. Made from high-grade polished aluminium with a fired granite base and locking wheels. It has full tilt and 360-degree rotation.

Holloways have a large selection of garden parasols from a basic table centre parasol to the ultimate in contemporary parasol design. Take a look at our full collection here.

Sensing the weather

A Haus garden awning with weather sensors

Beautiful terrace awnings create the perfect space for outdoor living. And these Haus Awnings automatically extend and contract in response to the weather. Late season offer - 10% off all Haus Awnings.

A Haus awning is the Rolls Royce of garden shading. Whether you are dining alfresco, entertaining friends, or spending time with your family in the fresh air, the Haus awning will give you extra time outdoors, day and night.

The clever design means that you can leave the control of your awning up to its weather sensors. These sensors will automatically extend the awning to give shade when the sun is out and retract the awning if there are strong winds. Other brilliant innovative touches include luxurious built-in LED lighting and radio-controlled infrared heating. What more could you want!
