Naturally. And you don't need any tools to assemble it!

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

Our honeycomb fabrics are designed so that they do not transmit light at an intensity of 30,000 lux. The light intensity of normal daylight is generally lower than this, e.g. less than 10,000 lux in winter when the sky is overcast and around 20,000 lux in summer when the sky is overcast. In unfiltered direct sunlight, illuminance can exceed 30,000 lux. In such cases, some light can pass through the fabric very weakly at the points where the honeycomb cells are glued together. The light is then diffused through the fabric at these points and has a very low light intensity. Even in these cases, the blackout 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 views through and offer maximum privacy and maximum room darkening.

Yes, you can save energy and 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. The short answer to the question of whether honeycomb blinds offer thermal protection is yes: in summer you need to cool less, and in winter the blinds reduce the rapid loss of heat through the window. This keeps the room at a comfortable temperature for longer, eliminates the need for additional heating and saves electricity.

A blackout pleated blind is being closed every evening and opened again in the morning and placed in a desired position. Thus, it is one of the most frequently moved pleated blinds. For a frequently operated pleated blind, a particularly firm and stable fastening is very important. For this reason, we recommend for pleated blinds without drillA thermal pleated blind uses opaque fabrics with a thermal protection finish to increase light reflection while reducing light transmission and absorption. However, daylight is still allowed to pass through the fabric so that rooms can be used for a variety of purposes without the need for artificial light sources, such as living and working in the living room and study. A true pleated blackout blind is primarily intended to darken a room. As the fabric does not let any light through, it also keeps the heat out of the room in the summer and in the room in the winter. Anyone who has had experience with honeycomb blinds can confirm the difference to conventional thermal pleated blinds. Once a honeycomb blind, always a honeycomb blind!

This depends on the mounting method. If you choose a non-drilling pleated blind 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 a hole that 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 to the finished size ordered. The width ordered (e.g. 80cm) is the actual width of the blind. The height is the total height of the blind. The tension cords are adjusted to the height ordered.

A pleated blind is closed each evening, opened in the morning and moved to the desired position. This makes it one of the most frequently moved pleated blinds. For a roman blind that is used a lot, it is very important to have an extra strong and stable fixation. For this reason, we recommend our extra strong Premium 'Tighten' clamp for pleated blinds without drilling. This clamp can be retightened with the supplied wrench if it has become loose over time due to frequent use. However, the tightest, most stable and durable way to secure a pleated blind to a window is always to screw it down, even if this requires drilling. For pleated blinds that require drilling, we offer two screw fixing options, 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 pane and rubber seal in place. On PVC and metal windows, this moulding is hollow and can be drilled (also on wooden windows). A window fitter wishing to replace a pane will remove these glazing beads to gain access to the pane. Glazing beads can be ordered as spare parts.

Yes, you can. Every Schuette® pleated blind for drilling is supplied with four different mounting plates that can compensate for different glass bead slopes and even roundings. However, the glazing bead should be at least 10 mm deep so that there is enough space between the glass pane and the pleated blind fabric for air circulation and to allow room for the bracket. If the glazing bead is not 10 mm deep, angle mounting or clamp and glue mounting can be used.

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

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

Our pleated fabrics can be used in wet rooms.

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