The Brief

Building your own home is an ambitious project at the best

of times. Building a Passivhaus is a different proposition

altogether. It requires extremely high levels of insulation,

high performance windows with insulated frames, airtight

building fabric and ‘thermal bridge free’ construction.

Passivhaus isn’t simply a style, it’s a standard, and to be

certified as genuine your Passivhaus must adhere to the

necessary criteria.

An essential aspect of any Passivhaus is carefully controlled

temperature management and moderation, the kind of

control, only offered by an advanced blind system.

“In addition to the environmental benefits I wanted the

fact that the house had been specially designed to be

recognised. The Passivhaus accreditation is a recognised

badge and when I come to sell the house people will

understand the quality of the build.”

- Dr Simon Frain, Passivhaus Self-builder

The Outcome

We installed three JR N101: EnviroLine VZ90 Venetian Blinds,

and four JR R101: Eliminate Roller Blinds. Automatic, remote

controlled blinds designed with thermostatic control in mind.

Dynamic blinds that work in harmony with the movement

of the sun to keep homes cool in the summer, warm in the

winter and admit sufficient light all year round.

On the south facing ground floor, the horizontal Venetian

slats meant that the rooms were always bright and

welcoming, at the same time as controlling the amount of

direct sunlight. On the first floor bedroom where light access

wasn’t such an ongoing issue the Roller Blind option worked

best.

Concludes Simon, “I’m extremely happy. Happy with both

the product and the service. A job really well done.”

We did a lot of research into

suitable suppliers, James

Robertshaw not only offer

the best technology, they

understand it intimately. They

clearly know exactly what they

are doing. In the end they were

the obvious choice. We sent

them the drawings, they came

back with a detailed proposal

a competitive price and

sensible time scale.

The Brief

Pete Smith, a self-builder in Cheadle, was looking for the

best way to achieve a Passivhaus. Whilst there are increasing

numbers of self-builders looking to pursue the Passive route,

manufacturers and suppliers haven’t been so quick off the

mark in providing the right products to get the job done.

With large south-facing windows, Pete was after a system

that would allow in plenty of sunshine during the winter

months and in the summer, keep the heat out to prevent the

building from overheating. The best solution to achieve this

would be one that stopped the sunlight entering the room in

the first place - an exterior blind system.

The Outcome

We gave Pete a quote for six N101: EnviroLine VZ70’s with

a site visit to ensure the specifications were right. Six sets

of great looking exterior Venetian blinds - three for the

extended living space on the ground floor, and one each for

the first floor bedrooms. Each one controlled individually

using a remote handset.

As the new house was being built in a conservation area,

there were colour restrictions placed by the council on the

blinds.

“James Robertshaw specially powder coated the blinds to

a council approved colour. Nothing was too much trouble.

I would recommend James Robertshaw in a heartbeat.

They’re an excellent company to work with. As well as being

local, they offered a much more realistic price.”

- Pete Smith, Self-Builder

Environmentally friendly features are an essential

consideration in almost every new build. If you’re looking for

a way to harness the energy in your house, get in touch.

“They really suit the

contemporary urban aesthetic

of the building. From an

architectural point of view

they work and from a personal

point I think they’re excellent.

They not only do exactly what

they’re designed to do, they

look great.”
