Large glazed roofs, verandas and conservatories bring extraordinary daylight into a home, but they also invite intense solar gain. Without external shading, these spaces can quickly overheat, becoming uncomfortable during peak summer months.
Perseus is engineered to stop the heat before it reaches the glass, delivering up to 95% heat rejection while preserving natural daylight and architectural clarity.
With four specialised systems. Standard, Coupled, Veranda, and the Side‑Zipped versions. Perseus provides tailored solar protection for conservatories.
A slim, fully enclosed cassette creates a clean architectural finish while hiding the fabric and mechanism completely from view.
Protects the blind from rain, debris and UV exposure when retracted, ensuring long-term performance and visual integrity.
A precision double‑coiled spring maintains constant tension, keeping the fabric taut and stable.
Engineered to withstand wind speeds up to 24mph without excessive movement or distortion
All hardware is manufactured from corrosion‑resistant, extruded aluminium for exceptional longevity.
Finished in Pure White or Anthracite Grey as standard, with optional RAL Classic colours for full design integration.
Premium acrylic fabrics designed not to stretch, warp or tear.
Available in an extensive palette of exclusive colours and textures.
Up to 95% heat rejection for superior solar control
Need more light and a better view out the mesh like Soltis 86 is available
Upgrades to dimensionally stable Soltis 92 range for maximum heat & Glare control
Powered by a built‑in Somfy tubular motor using the latest bi‑directional io technology.
Control via handheld remote or app for seamless everyday use.
Optional upgrade to Somfy hardwired systems.
Perseus Jnr Side-Zipped system has a Solar Powered Battery option.
Optional sun and wind sensors automate the blind’s behaviour.
Extends when sunlight reaches a set lux level.
Retracts automatically during low light or high winds to protect the system.
Manufactured up to 6m wide × 5m deep in the Perseus Side Zipped XL model.
Compatible with a wide range of standard and bespoke mounting brackets.
Designed for installation onto all roof glazing, skylights and structural frameworks.
Fully compatible with Somfy TaHoma Switch for whole‑home automation.
Integrates effortlessly into modern smart‑living environments.
The Birth of Perseus Shading
Perseus was born from decades of shading innovation, created to solve one growing challenge in modern homes: the intense heat build‑up beneath large glazed roofs and conservatories. As architecture embraced bigger spans of overhead glass, traditional blinds could no longer cope. Perseus evolved as a purpose‑built external system that stops heat at the source, delivering maximum solar rejection and comfort.
All Perseus models deliver up to 95% heat rejection, dramatically reducing solar gain.
Perseus is a family of external roof‑shading systems engineered to stop heat before it reaches the glass. It’s suitable for lean-to, wide-span & irregular conservatory roofs and varandas that need high‑performance solar control.
Perseus Standard: For rectangular Conservatory roof sections with an extendable option of up to 1.25m
Perseus Coupled: Multiple units linked for wider rectangular roof glazing. Increases width coverage of the Standard by up to 5m for each system
Perseus Veranda: Designed for irregular roof which would not get the required shading with a rectangular awning.
Perseus Side‑Zipped: Edge zipped fabric for a larger rectangular roof coverage with more resistance to stronger winds.
Pure White and Anthracite Grey are standard. You can also choose from the full RAL Classic range for complete architectural integration.
Yes indeed and there are choices
Dickson Acrylic Fabrics (Standard Option)
Overview
Dickson’s solution‑dyed acrylic fabrics are the industry benchmark for traditional awnings. They offer excellent durability, colour stability and weather resistance, making them ideal for everyday solar protection.
Key Benefits
Solution‑dyed fibres: Colour is locked into the yarn, ensuring long‑lasting vibrancy
High UV resistance: Protects interiors from fading
Water‑repellent finish: Rain beads and rolls off the surface
Breathable weave: Allows airflow, reducing heat build‑up beneath the awning
Soft textile appearance: A classic, fabric‑rich aesthetic
Extensive colour palette: Wide choice of plains, textures and stripes
Performance
Excellent for general shading
Strong durability in UK weather
Ideal for customers prioritising a softer, more traditional awning look
Soltis 92 Perform (Premium Upgrade)
Overview
Soltis 92 Perform is a high‑tension micro‑perforated screen fabric engineered by Serge Ferrari. It’s designed for maximum heat rejection, superior dimensional stability and exceptional outward visibility — making it the premium choice for high‑performance roof shading.
Key Benefits
Up to 95% heat rejection: One of the highest-performing solar fabrics available
Micro‑perforated structure: Allows controlled airflow while blocking heat
Exceptional tensile strength: Perfect for large spans and high‑tension systems like Perseus
Dimensional stability: No stretching, sagging or warping over time
Excellent outward visibility: Maintains views while reducing glare
High UV resistance: Long-term colour and structural integrity
Easy to clean: Smooth surface resists dirt and pollutants
Performance
Best-in-class thermal control
Ideal for exposed locations and large rooflight spans
Provides a crisp, architectural finish with a modern technical aesthetic
Yes. Sun and wind sensors allow the system to extend or retract automatically based on real‑time conditions.
Compatible with Somfy Tahoma Switch
Somfy hardwired motor options allow integration with home automation systems.
Most installations are completed in one day, depending on size and complexity.
Its always best to think of the Perseus as a long term solution rather than a quick fix. Lead times can be up to 10-12 weeks.
The Perseus Side-Zipped Conservatory roof system can cover 6m wide by 5m long.
Other Perseus models vary in their sizing depending on width.
