Choose Black-out for blackout
The Black-out fabric itself lets no light through and is the clear choice for a dark bedroom.
Blackout, privacy and calm for a better night's sleep
Stick & Fit pleated blinds for the bedroom
In the bedroom, blackout is usually the most important wish. So choose Black-out if you want to make the room really dark. Single Tone and Duo Tone do give privacy, but do not make the room dark.

Specific to this room
How to make the bedroom calmer and darker
The best choice depends on the amount of morning light, street lighting and the privacy you need during the day.
2
Keep your privacy during the day
With top-down/bottom-up you screen off the view at bed height and let daylight in at the top.
3
Keep out heat and cold
The honeycomb structure helps keep the temperature around the window more comfortable.
4
Operate without a loose chain
You slide the pleated blind with the handle-free operating rail. There is no loose operating chain hanging beside the window.
Practical room advice
Black-out for darkness, light-filtering for privacy
Single Tone and Duo Tone are opaque and pleasant for privacy during the day, but they let light through. If you really want blackout, choose Black-out. With thick window seals, a small gap of light may remain visible along the edges; in such situations the total blackout is approximately 98%.
- Black-out is the first choice for a dark bedroom
- Single Tone and Duo Tone suit privacy in combination with curtains
- A dark fabric colour gives extra visual calm, but the type of fabric determines the blackout
Do you already have curtains? Then a light-filtering Stick & Fit pleated blind can take care of privacy during the day, while the curtains provide extra blackout at night.
Light-filtering or blackout
Which fabric suits your bedroom?
The choice of fabric determines whether you only want privacy or real blackout too. All fabrics are opaque; only Black-out makes the room dark. The honeycomb structure also helps with insulation against heat and cold.
Single Tone
For privacy and soft light filtering. Suitable when curtains or roller shutters already provide the blackout at night.
Duo Tone
Privacy and colour on the inside, with a white back facing outwards. This fabric is also light-filtering.
Black-out
The best choice for bedrooms. The fabric lets no light through and keeps out morning light and street lighting as much as possible.
For a main bedroom we usually recommend Black-out. Request samples and look at them both during the day and in the evening in your own room.
Profiles that create calm around the window
The adhesive profile and handle-free operating rail may differ
In the bedroom, an adhesive profile in the colour of the window frame usually looks the most relaxed. Choose the operating rail to match the fabric if you want to create one calm blackout surface. RAL 7016, RAL 7035, RAL 9005, RAL 9001 and RAL 9003 are available as standard.

Complete the blackout
Don't just look at the colour, but above all at the window seals, the incoming light and how easy it is to reach the operating rail.
Determine where the light comes in
Pay attention to morning sun, street lighting and light from the landing.
Check the window seals
Thick seals can cause a small gap of light along the edge.
Keep the operating rail within reach
Position furniture so that you can easily operate the top and bottom rails.
Choose one pleated blind per window
With windows side by side, each window gets its own pleated blind, but the look can stay completely the same.

Practical answers
Frequently asked questions about the bedroom
Which fabric makes the bedroom really dark?
Only Black-out. The fabric itself lets no light through. Single Tone and Duo Tone give privacy, but remain light-filtering.
Is Black-out completely blackout?
The fabric is completely blackout. With thick window seals, a small gap of light may remain visible along the edge; the total blackout is then approximately 98%.
Can I combine light-filtering with curtains?
Yes. Stick & Fit then takes care of privacy and daylight during the day, while the curtains provide extra blackout at night.
Does honeycomb fabric help keep the bedroom cooler?
The honeycomb structure helps slow down heat in summer and keeps the cold by the window out better in winter.
Is the operation suitable for a bedroom with children?
The operation is in the handle-free rail and there is no loose operating chain. Always fit and use the system according to the instructions.
Can the same fabric go on a larger bedroom window?
Yes. Where Stick & Fit does not fit, we can also supply many fabrics as a cord-operated or motorised pleated blind.
