FAQ

Interior roller blinds serve primarily as privacy screens and to darken the living space. However, since the sun's rays are only blocked behind the window pane, interior roller blinds are hardly suitable as heat protection. An interior roller blind with dark fabric even acts like an additional heater, as the fabric heats up strongly in the sun. External roller blinds already reflect a large part of the sun's radiation before it can even enter the flat.

The CLIP'N'SHADE is specially designed against heat and stops between 90% - 95% of heat radiation before it can enter the home.

• Electric-powered devices such as air conditioners, fans or air purifiers with cooling function consume a lot of energy to achieve a cooling effect. In the case of air conditioners, this also produces warm exhaust air, which only shifts the heat problem to another location. Fans, air conditioners, etc. are expensive to run, pollute our environment with their high power consumption and are often the cause of health complaints (colds, conjunctivitis, headaches).
• Interior roller blinds darken your apartment, but have no cooling effect
• Sun protection films are difficult to apply to the window and permanently darken your home - even in the cold autumn and winter months.

The CLIP'N'SHADE is specially designed for tenants who do not have an external sunshade (e.g. external blind) and are looking for a simple, cost-effective and damage-free retrofit solution to prevent heat in their own homes.

Since the installation of CLIP'N'SHADE does not involve any structural changes to the window or facade, there is no damage whatsoever and it can be removed at any time, you can install our heat protection roller blind even without the permission of your landlord.

The individual components of CLIP'N'SHADE can be plugged together without using your own tools. Then the sun blind is placed in the window frame and fixed with our tested and proven clamping mechanism. You can find more details about this in our assembly video and in our assembly instructions.

The CLIP'N'SHADE is attached to the outside of the window by means of a clip mechanism and does not require drilling into the facade. The windows are also protected from scratching by a special rubber layer. Thus, you do not have to worry about damaging windows or facade

The outer seal will occasionally be slightly dented, but this will not affect the tightness of your window in any way.

Assembling the individual components and installing them in the window frame is child's play and done in no time at all. As a rule, our customers do not need a craftsman, even if they have limited manual skills. However, if you get stuck, we will be happy to help you with tips.

Installation by one person is possible in principle, but it is recommended that at least two people install the system, especially for large windows.

As soon as the external blind is fixed in the window frame and all the instructions in the installation manual have been followed, it is securely installed.

The CLIP'N'SHADE has been tested in various load tests against the influence of wind, heat and cold (link technical video). Nevertheless, the outdoor roller blind should be retracted for safety reasons when the wind comes up or during a longer absence.

There is no fixed cleaning cycle that must be followed. If the profiles or the fabric are dirty, a damp cloth is sufficient to wipe away the dirt. If the fabric is wet after cleaning or due to rain, it should dry in the extended state if possible so that no moisture collects in the cassette.
