Specific to this room
Turn the attic into a comfortable room
An attic can be a bedroom, a workspace or a guest room. Its use determines how much light, privacy and blackout you need.
2
Keep a workspace bright
Use light-filtering at a desk to reduce glare without making the room dark.
3
Reduce heat and winter cold
The honeycomb structure helps keep the climate around dormer windows more comfortable.
4
Make several windows one whole
Use the same fabric and profile colours across the whole dormer.
Practical room advice
One dormer, different functions
For a bedroom, Black-out is the logical choice. For a workspace or hobby room, light-filtering is often more pleasant. If you have both functions in one room, each window can have its own position while the fabric colour stays the same.
- Black-out for sleeping and maximum blackout
- Light-filtering for working, hobbies and privacy
- Honeycomb fabric is very well suited to heat and cold insulation in the attic
Stick & Fit is only used on straight, vertical glass surfaces. Sloping roof windows need a different window covering.
Light-filtering or blackout
Which fabric suits a dormer or attic room?
Choose by function first. Black-out makes a sleeping area dark; Single Tone and Duo Tone give privacy and soft daylight. The honeycomb structure helps with the temperature differences that are often greater in the attic.
Single Tone
For a work or hobby attic where daylight remains important and the colour may show on both sides.
Duo Tone
An interior colour inside and white facing out. Handy for a calm façade and a warm room.
Black-out
For bedrooms and guest rooms. The fabric lets no light through and gives the strongest blackout.
In a multifunctional attic, the same fabric colour can be combined in different versions, so sleeping and working each get their own solution.
Match the window frame, sloping wall and daylight
Adhesive profile and handle-free operating rail can differ
In a dormer, a mismatched profile colour quickly stands out because of the compact space. So match the adhesive profile to the window frame and choose the operating rail to suit the fabric or wall colour. Available colours are RAL 7016, RAL 7035, RAL 9005, RAL 9001 and RAL 9003.

Above all, check the window type and accessibility
A dormer often consists of several straight windows. These are suitable when there is enough space around handles, seals and moving parts.
Only on straight windows
Stick & Fit is not intended for sloping roof windows or irregular shapes.
Choose one pleated blind per window
Each window in the dormer gets its own pleated blind and can be operated separately.
Keep tall windows within reach
Use a control wand if the rail is difficult to reach.
Combine for larger windows
Use the same fabric in a cord-operated or electric version when Stick & Fit does not fit.

Practical answers
Frequently asked questions about the dormer and attic room
Can Stick & Fit be fitted on a sloping roof window?
No. Stick & Fit is intended for straight, vertical glass surfaces, such as windows in a dormer.
Which fabric is best for an attic bedroom?
Black-out. The fabric lets no light through and is the best choice for a dark sleeping area.
Can I use light-filtering at a desk?
Yes. A light-filtering fabric gives privacy and softens bright light without making the workspace dark.
Does honeycomb fabric help against heat in the attic?
The honeycomb structure helps slow down summer heat and reduce winter cold at the window.
Can each dormer window be operated separately?
Yes. Each window gets its own pleated blind and can be set to a different position.
What if one window is wider than Stick & Fit allows?
Then we can also supply the same or a suitable fabric as a cord-operated or electric pleated blind.
