 Velux blackout blinds - Bobby
We have a sunroom at rear of house. It has 6 velux windows, 3 either side of the pitched roof.

It also has windows and French doors all along one wall. When this was built as part of the house extension, planning insisted on there being external grade doors between it and the kitchen of the main house as it was not going to get the correct level of u values.

Up to last winter we used to use it in winter a lot with the gas fire on but with the energy prices, we opted mostly to leave it for the winter with the radiators on a low heat.

Anyway, to get to the chase, I reckon if I could insulate the velux windows in some way this could reduce the amount of heat loss in the room. I see from their website they have roller blinds that they claim save 25% of normal heat loss.

Anyone any experience of doing anything similar? My missus isnt keen on my idea of stuffing Old pillows into all the window openings!
