South- or west-facing façade
Close the fabric before the sun shines on the glass for a long time.
Insulating honeycomb fabric close to the glass
Better control of sun and heat at the window
Honeycomb fabric traps air and therefore adds to comfort in both warm and cold weather. For the strongest insulating effect, choose Black-out; Duo Tone and Single Tone are lighter and let more daylight through.
- Black-out is more insulating than Duo Tone and Single Tone
- Less glare and direct sunlight
- Compact fitting close to the glass

With sun and heat, the choice depends on the direction the façade faces, the glass area, the time of day and the amount of light you want. An indoor product helps improve comfort, but does not replace external sun protection under extreme heat load.
Start with the situation you want to solve
Window coverings can soften direct sunlight, but the effect depends on the type of glass, orientation, fabric colour and how long the window stays covered. Honeycomb fabric helps slow down heat transfer at the glass.

Large glass surface
Use made-to-measure blinds per glass pane so that the fabric fits closely and compactly.

Workspace with glare
Position the fabric only where the sun comes in and keep daylight elsewhere.

The honeycomb chambers also add to comfort when outdoor temperatures are low.
Why honeycomb helps
Still air pockets form an extra layer at the glass
The double fabric structure of a honeycomb pleated blind traps air. This reduces the direct exchange of heat and cold at the window. Thanks to its denser construction, Black-out makes the strongest insulating contribution.
Close before the peakClosing early prevents fabric, glass and interior from fully warming up first.
Choose per façadeWindows in the sun can be closed while windows on the shady side stay open.
Filter selectivelyPlace the fabric only over the part where the sun comes in if you still want daylight.
Combine cleverlyVentilate when the outside air is cooler and keep windows closed during the hottest hours.
The broad benefits of Stick & Fit
More than just window coverings without drilling
Each page explains a different problem, but these product benefits are always part of the solution.
Fitted with narrow adhesive profiles on the left and right of the glass; the window frame stays free of drill holes.
No surrounding frame around the window. The windowsill stays clear and the system sits compactly on the glass.
The fabric can be set steplessly in an unlimited number of positions: from the top, from the windowsill or just in the middle.
Black-out has the strongest insulating effect; light Duo Tone colours with a white back keep the view from outside calm and reflect visible light.
No loose hanging operating chain or operating cords; you operate the system directly with the handle-free rails.
Single Tone, Duo Tone and Black-out, many fabric colours and five colours for adhesive profiles and operating rails.
An affordable made-to-measure solution that is usually cheaper and more compact than a pleated blind in a full frame.
The fabric softens harsh backlight and makes the window area more pleasant to look at. The product does not replace external sun protection, but it does offer flexible control of light and privacy.
From search question to product choice
Choose the fabric based on your priority
More light versus stronger insulation calls for a conscious trade-off.
Daylight first
Single Tone gives filtered light and a light look.
Balance
Duo Tone combines daylight with a white outer side.
Maximum effect
Black-out is the best choice when heat, cold and darkening matter most.
Practical and ready to use
Use the window position cleverly throughout the day
Top-down/bottom-up allows targeted screening without permanently closing the whole window.
Close the sun-exposed part before the glass heats up strongly.
Move the fabric along with the position of the sun.
Open up the window view again when heat and privacy allow.
Close in the evening for extra comfort at the cold glass.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about better control of sun and heat at the window
Clear answers about use, fabric choice, fitting and expectations.
Which fabric works best against heat?
Black-out has the strongest insulating effect in the range. Duo Tone and Single Tone also contribute, but let more light through.
Does honeycomb fabric also help against the cold?
Yes. The air chambers help both to retain heat in cold weather and to limit heat coming in during warm weather.
Does Stick & Fit replace external sun protection?
No. Indoor window coverings improve comfort and reduce direct light, but external sun protection remains more effective under very high sun exposure.
Can I close only the sunny part?
Yes. The top-down/bottom-up operation is infinitely adjustable and allows any intermediate position.
Does an insulating pleated blind take up much space?
Stick & Fit sits on the glass with narrow side profiles and has no full frame. This keeps the solution compact.
