Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is an exterior blind more effective than an interior sunscreen?

Internal roller blinds are primarily used as privacy protection and to darken the living space. However, as the sun's rays are only blocked behind the window pane, internal roller blinds are hardly suitable as heat protection

An internal roller blind with dark fabric even acts as an additional heater, as the fabric heats up considerably in the sun. External roller blinds reflect a large proportion of the sun's rays before they can even penetrate the home.

 

Is the transparent fabric as effective against heat as the opaque one?

Both the transparent and the opaque fabric provide very effective protection against heat. 

The transparent fabric has the additional advantage that no artificial light is required inside when the external roller blind is closed. This not only saves electricity costs, but also creates a pleasant atmosphere in the room.

How effectively does the CLIP'N'SHADE protect against heat?

The CLIP'N'SHADE has been specially developed against heat and stops between 90 % - 95 % of heat radiation before it can enter the home

 

Why is CLIP'N'SHADE more effective and sustainable than all substitutes?
  • 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).
  • Indoor 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.

 

How to fix the outdoor blind?

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.

 

 

Does the CLIP'N'SHADE influence the thermal insulation or tightness of my window?

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

 

Do I need to hire a handyman to install the outdoor blind?

Assembling the individual components and installing them in the window frame is child's play and can be 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.

 

We will be happy to advise you!
