Naturally. What's more, no tools are required for assembly!

Our blackout pleated blind achieves the maximum possible room darkening that is possible with a tensioned pleated blind. No light passes through the fabric and the drill holes run inside the cell and are not visible. Light can only enter the room through light gaps on the sides of the honeycomb pleated blind.

Our honeycomb fabrics are designed in such a way that they do not transmit light at a light intensity of 30,000 lux. The light intensity of normal daylight is generally below this value, e.g. a light intensity of less than 10,000 lux is achieved in winter when the sky is overcast and around 20,000 lux in summer when the sky is overcast. In unfiltered, direct sunlight, light levels can exceed 30,000 lux. In such cases, some light can shine very weakly through the fabric at the points where the honeycomb cells are glued together. The light then shines diffusely through the fabric at these points and only has a very low light intensity. Even in such cases, the darkening performance of the honeycomb fabric is > 99%.

No! There is no question that honeycomb pleated blinds can achieve thermal blackout. They do not allow any light or glances through and offer maximum privacy and maximum room darkening.

Yes, you can save energy and therefore money with our blackout pleated blinds. The blackout honeycomb fabrics do not let any light through and can keep up to 2/3 of the sun's heat out of the room. Whether honeycomb pleated blinds offer thermal protection can therefore be rounded off with a short yes: In summer you need to cool less and in winter the pleated blinds reduce rapid heat loss from the window. The room therefore retains a pleasant temperature for longer, there is no need for additional help and this saves electricity.

A thermal pleated blind is equipped with opaque fabrics that have a heat protection finish to increase light reflection and at the same time reduce light transmission and light absorption. However, daylight should still pass through the fabric so that rooms remain usable for various applications without having to use artificial light sources, e.g. living and working in the living room and study. A real pleated blackout blind is primarily intended to darken a room. As the fabric does not let any light through at all, it also keeps heat out of the room in summer and in the room in winter. Anyone who has already had experience with honeycomb pleated blinds can confirm the difference to conventional thermal pleated blinds. Once a honeycomb pleated blind, always a honeycomb pleated blind!

This depends on the fixing method. If you choose a pleated blind without drilling with a clamp, you can cover the entire window glass plus an overhang on all sides. If you choose a pleated blind with an adhesive holder or a honeycomb pleated blind with drilling, which is mounted in the glazing bead, the pleated blind is mounted closer to the window glass and covers the glass surface. We manufacture our pleated blinds in the finished size ordered. The width ordered (e.g. 80 cm) corresponds to the actual width of the pleated blind. The height is the total height of the pleated blind. The tension cords are adjusted to the ordered height.

A pleated blind is closed every evening, opened again in the morning and adjusted to the desired position. This makes it one of the most frequently moved pleated blinds. For a pleated blind that is used frequently, a particularly firm and stable fixing is very important. For this reason, we recommend our particularly stable premium clamp bracket "For tightening" for pleated blinds without drilling. This clamp can be tightened again and again with the supplied wrench if it has become loose over time due to frequent use. However, the firmest, most stable and most permanent way of attaching a pleated blind to a window is always to screw it in, although this requires drilling. For pleated blinds with drilling, we offer two options for screwing, with mounting plates in the glazing bead or with angle brackets ("Double 2in1") in front of the glazing bead.

The glazing bead on a window is the small frame that holds the window pane and the rubber seal in position. On PVC windows and metal windows, this strip is hollow and can be drilled (also on wooden windows). A window fitter who wants to change a pane of glass will remove these glazing beads to access the pane. Glazing beads can be reordered as spare parts.

Yes, you can. Each Schuette® pleated blind for drilling is supplied with four different mounting plates that can compensate for different inclinations of glazing beads and even rounded edges. However, the glazing bead should be at least 10 mm deep so that there is enough space for air circulation between the glass pane and the pleated fabric and so that there is room for the bracket. If the glazing bead is not 10 mm deep, then angle mounting or clamp and adhesive brackets are possible.

No. This is a quality product that has been specially developed. We value your time and your "home" too much, so the pleated blind is assembled as far as possible to ensure safe transportation.

Yes, all our mounts are regularly tested and designed to work perfectly even at the maximum dimensions.

Our pleated blind fabrics can be used in wet rooms.

The brackets are designed so that they can be easily replaced with other Schuette® brackets if required. Please contact our customer service for further information, as changes may need to be made to the pleated blind dimensions.
