Privacy and daylight without cluttering the worktop
Stick & Fit for the kitchen and dining room
Stick & Fit stays compact on the window, so the windowsill, worktop and dining table stay clear. You control privacy and low sun exactly where needed and operate the pleated blind with handle-free rails.

Specific to this room
How Stick & Fit works well in the kitchen and dining room
Think about where the worktop, the dining table and the sun are. That determines which operation and fabric are most comfortable.
2
Free space around the window
The pleated blind sits on the window and doesn’t hang in front of the worktop, the table or the windowsill.
3
Less trouble from low sun
Slide the fabric to where sunlight is bothersome while cooking or eating.
4
Operation that stays within reach
If the worktop is in front of the window, you can choose a control wand for the top or bottom rail.
Practical room advice
Operating above a worktop or dining table
With a window behind the worktop, the handle-free operating rail can be harder to reach. A control wand makes opening and closing easier. By a dining table, top-down/bottom-up works well for controlling privacy and low sun without making the room dark.
- Light-filtering fabrics give privacy and keep the room bright
- Duo Tone gives colour inside and a calm white back facing out
- Honeycomb fabric helps reduce heat and cold around large kitchen windows
With several windows, choose the same fabric and let the profile colour match the window frame. That way the kitchen stays calm, even when each window is operated separately.
Light-filtering or blackout
Which fabric suits a kitchen and dining room?
Light-filtering fabrics are usually the most practical: they give complete privacy without making the room dark. The honeycomb structure adds comfort at windows where a lot of sun or cold comes in.
Single Tone
A calm colour on both sides. Lovely in a natural kitchen or dining room with wood, stone and soft tones.
Duo Tone
A chosen colour inside and white facing out. Ideal for a calm façade and a matching interior colour.
Black-out
For a dining room with projection, lots of evening sun or a multi-purpose room where extra darkening is wanted.
Above a worktop, reach is at least as important as colour. Check beforehand whether you can easily grab both operating rails, or choose a control wand.
Profile colours that match the kitchen and window frame
Adhesive profile and handle-free operating rail can differ
In a kitchen or dining room, an adhesive profile in the window frame colour usually looks calmest, especially when cupboards and worktop already add plenty of lines. The operating rail can instead tie in with the fabric or an accent colour from the kitchen. You choose from RAL 7016, RAL 7035, RAL 9005, RAL 9001 and RAL 9003.

Practical choices for everyday use
Make the operation logical for the place where you cook and eat. Then the pleated blind really becomes part of your daily routine.
Look at the worktop
If the worktop is in front of the window, check that the operating rail stays within reach.
Use a control wand if needed
Handy with deep worktops, tall windows or windows above a sink.
Coordinate windows and doors
Use the same fabric and profile colours for a calm, unified look in the room.
Choose one pleated blind per window
Each window or window section gets its own pleated blind and can therefore be set separately.

Practical answers
Frequently asked questions about the kitchen and dining room
Which fabric is best for a kitchen?
A light-filtering Single Tone or Duo Tone fabric is usually the most comfortable. The fabric is opaque, yet keeps the room bright.
How do I operate a pleated blind above the worktop?
If the operating rail is hard to reach, you can use a control wand. That is handy with a deep worktop or tall windows.
Can Stick & Fit go on a glass door?
On a technically suitable door, the pleated blind can move with the door. Do check the clearance around the handle, seals and hinge side.
Does honeycomb fabric help with a cold kitchen window?
Yes. The honeycomb structure forms an insulating layer of air and helps reduce cold in winter and heat in summer.
Can I operate several windows separately?
Yes. Each window gets its own pleated blind, so you can decide per spot how much light and privacy you want.
What if a wide kitchen window is too large?
Then we can also supply many fabrics as a cord-operated or electric pleated blind. That way the same fabric can be used throughout the kitchen.
