Roof Sails
A contemporary - stylish - practical alternative to traditional pleated roof blinds
Reflect harmful UV rays
Roof sails help protect your furniture and flooring by bouncing back harsh sunlight before it enters the room.
Up to 96% solar efficiency
Our white sails absorb less than 5% of the sun’s heat to dramatically reduce heat transfer into your conservatory.
Comfort all year round
They reduce heat in summer and help retain warmth in winter, making your space more usable every day.
A stunning visual feature
Beautifully shaped and expertly fitted, roof sails add a soft, architectural elegance to any glazed space.
Roof sails look great and make your space more comfortable all year round.
In the summer, they reflect over 70% of the sun’s heat, helping to keep your conservatory or orangery cooler and free from glare. In winter, they help retain warmth by creating an insulating layer, making the room feel cosier and more inviting.
The energy-efficient fabric diffuses natural light, so even on dull days your space stays bright without harsh sunlight. The sails sit just below the roof frame to work in harmony with natural or mechanical ventilation, helping maintain a balanced temperature.
They’re custom-made to fit your glazing, easy to remove, and machine washable—so caring for them is simple. With a 10-year guarantee and expert local fitting, they’re a practical and attractive upgrade. Whether you use your conservatory for dining, relaxing, or entertaining, roof sails can transform it into a space you’ll enjoy every season, not just when the weather’s mild.
Made in Scotland – 10-Year Guarantee – Machine Washable – Fire Retardant
With roof sails, you’re in control of the design. Whether it’s a single hot spot, one section of your conservatory roof, or full coverage, we’ll tailor the setup to suit your needs. You can choose from a range of soft, neutral tones or add a pop of colour with an accent sail for a more striking look. Roof sails can be fitted individually or grouped together, depending on the layout and the effect you want to achieve.
They’re also designed with real life in mind. If things get lively and something ends up on the sails, no problem—just unscrew them, pop them in the washing machine, and rehang once dry. They’re fire-retardant, machine washable, and come with a 10-year guarantee for complete peace of mind.

Cool down your conservatory with practical style
Free home visit
We pop round to your property—anywhere within 20 miles of Falkirk or Grangemouth—to chat through your needs and measure your roof space. Whether you’re looking to shade a desk, reduce glare on a TV, or cool the whole room, we’ll give you honest advice on the best setup for your space.
Choose your fabric
We show you fabric options and swatches to help you visualise the finished look, take measurements, and chat through any ideas you have about layout, colour, or how you want the sails to work in your space.
Precision measuring
We carry out a detailed survey to measure your space, checking for obstacles like vents or pipes that might affect the layout. From there, we create a rough PDF with layout options and estimated costs to help you decide what suits your needs and budget. Once you're happy with the design, we return for a second visit to take precise measurements and finalise everything for a perfect fit.

When your sails are ready, we return to fit them for you. It’s a product that relies on precise measurements and careful installation, so our experienced fitters take the time to get everything just right, ensuring a neat finish that works beautifully with your interior.
Demo & Ongoing support
We’ll install everything carefully and leave you with an info pack covering care, cleaning, and how to remove the sails. If anything needs attention later on, we’re just a call away—a local service you can count on.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take from survey to installation?
The full process usually takes around 4 to 5 weeks. After your initial survey, you’ll have time to review options and finalise your layout. Most customers decide within 1 to 2 weeks. Once confirmed, manufacturing takes 2 to 3 weeks, as sails are made to measure with precision. Because the process involves detailed measuring and careful planning, we make sure everything’s right before going ahead with fitting.
How much do roof sails cost?
It depends on how much of the roof you want to cover, how many sails you choose, how they overlap, and the fabric you go for. As a rough guide, covering a standard conservatory roof with two overlapping sails (around 2 m x 3 m or 2.5 m x 2.5 m) would cost about £1,800 fitted. A larger area, such as a 6 m x 6 m roof covered by a single sail, would be closer to £3,800 fitted. Because every space is different, we’ll give you a clear, no-pressure quote after your survey.
What are roof sails?
Roof sails are lightweight fabric panels designed to fit just below your glass roofing. They help soften direct sunlight, reduce glare, and lower the temperature in conservatories, orangeries, and roof lanterns—without blocking out the natural light.
What colours are available for roof sails?
Most fabrics come in soft, muted tones that suit a wide range of interiors—creams, whites, oyster shades, and pale greys are the most popular choices. These colours help keep the space feeling bright and airy while still reducing glare and heat.
Can I wash them myself?
Yes, absolutely. Roof sails are designed for easy care. You can remove them by unscrewing the discreet fixings, then pop them in your washing machine at home. We’ll show you exactly how during installation, and you’ll also get a product info pack with full washing instructions to keep things simple.
Do they block the daylight?
Not at all. The fabric diffuses the sunlight, meaning your space stays bright but without the harsh glare or intense heat that bare glass can cause. It’s a softer, more comfortable kind of light.
What guarantee do they come with?
Every roof sail is covered by a 10-year guarantee, both on the product itself and the installation. It’s our way of standing behind the quality of the materials and the work we do.
Do they sag over time?
No, their tensioned edge keeps the sails taut and makes them easy to remove and clean, they are made from premium materials for a long life, backed by a 10-year guarantee.
Are they suitable for roof lanterns?
Yes, roof sails are an excellent solution for roof lanterns and other tricky glazed areas where traditional blinds don’t work well. They’re custom-shaped to fit and look smart.
How long does fitting take?
Installation usually takes just a few hours. Once your sails are made, we’ll book a fitting time that suits you, and our team will work efficiently with minimal disruption to your day.
Can I install just one sail or do I need a full set?
You can absolutely start with just one sail if that’s all you need. Many customers choose to shade only the sunniest section of their glazed roof, and we’ll help you decide what works best for your space.
Do I need to do any prep before installation?
Nothing major—just make sure we have clear access to the area. We bring all tools and coverings, and we take care to protect your space while we work. It’s all very straightforward.
Common concerns about roof sails
I’m worried roof sails won’t suit my interior.
That’s a common concern, and it’s exactly why we bring fabric swatches to your consultation. You’ll be able to compare colours and textures against your existing décor before deciding. Because each sail is custom-made, you’re not stuck with a “standard” look—we tailor them to match your style.
I don’t want something that’s difficult to remove or clean.
Roof sails are designed with everyday life in mind. To clean them, you simply unscrew a few fittings and pop them in the washing machine. Depending on your conservatory design, a step stool or ladder might be needed to reach them, but we’ll guide you through the process step by step—and make sure you feel confident removing and refitting them.
I’m not sure they’re worth the money.
It’s a fair question. Roof sails offer long-term value by making your room more comfortable all year round—reducing glare, protecting furniture from sun damage, and even helping to lower energy bills. By cutting down on overheating in summer and retaining warmth in winter, they can reduce or remove the need for extra heating or air conditioning. Add in their durability and 10-year guarantee, and they’re a sound investment in both comfort and energy efficiency.
I don’t want to lose the view or block too much light.
Unlike solid blinds or blackout solutions, roof sails soften and diffuse the light without making your space feel dark. You’ll still enjoy daylight and an open, airy feel—just without the overpowering glare or heat that often comes with large glazed roofs.
I’m unsure if they’ll work with the shape of my roof.
Because each sail is custom-made, we design them to fit awkward or unusual roof shapes—including roof lanterns, triangles, and asymmetrical glazing. During your consultation, we’ll assess your space and suggest options that work with its unique shape.
I don’t want a messy or disruptive installation.
We understand. That’s why our fitters work cleanly, efficiently, and with care for your home. Most installs take just a few hours, and we always tidy up thoroughly before we leave. You’ll hardly know we’ve been—except for the difference in your room’s comfort.
I’m worried it’ll be a hassle if something goes wrong.
We’re based right here in Grangemouth, and we’re always available if you need help, adjustments or advice after your installation. No call centres, no runaround—just straightforward local service you can rely on.
I’m not sure how much is involved in the quote process.
There’s no pressure or obligation. We come out, measure up, show you samples and talk through your options. You’ll then get a clear written quote that reflects exactly what we discussed—no surprises or hidden extras.
I’m not sure roof sails are the right solution.
That’s what the consultation is for—we’ll look at your setup, talk through what you need, and let you know if roof sails are the best option. If not, we’ll suggest something better. No pressure, just honest advice.
