roller blinds

Roller blinds are the ideal partner-in-crime when you want to keep out bright sunlight and prying eyes.

Window foil

Window or window film is a thin film that is attached to the inside of the window, often because there is not enough space for large curtains. But window film has more functions than that. For example, anti-view foil ensures that no one can just look into your home without having to sacrifice natural daylight. Choose a smooth, matt window film or a film with an original pattern or a wood motif. In addition, it is also worthwhile to invest in solar and heat-resistant foil. This way you keep the greatest heat outside during a heat wave and you can enjoy a cool indoor climate at home. Two extra trumps: window film is extremely maintenance-friendly and you can easily apply and remove it yourself.
