Window decoration for tilt-and-turn windows
Window decoration for tilt-and-turn windows requires careful selection, as these windows can be opened in two ways. This sometimes makes it a search for the right window decoration. Whether you are looking for stylish shading, blackout, extra privacy or an addition to your interior, it is important to choose window decoration that fits a tilt-turn window perfectly.
Suitable window decoration for turn-tilt windows
Tilt&Turn windows are particularly practical, as they can be opened fully inwards as well as tilted for ventilation. The window decoration you choose should therefore be flexible and move with the window's different positions. For example, pleated blinds are an excellent choice because they can be mounted tightly against the window and do not get in the way when opening or tilting the window. Latency blinds are also popular options for tilt-and-turn windows. Not only do they offer shading, but also complete control over privacy. The frame ensures that the blinds stay tight, even when tilted. Do you like a slightly more robust look? Then you can opt for the Lamella. Lamella is a beautiful combination between a Venetian blind and shutter. And for those looking for a blackout solution, roller blinds with blackout fabric are ideal for bedrooms and other rooms where complete darkness is desired. Finally, KeJe offers various insect screens that are ideal for tilt-and-turn windows. For example, the inset insect screen is suitable for almost all plastic and wooden tilt-and-turn windows and is installed in the frame without drilling or screws.
Installation of window decoration on turn-tilt windows
Installing window decoration on tilt-turn windows can be done without drilling and screwing, which is especially convenient for plastic or aluminium window frames. This prevents irreparable damage to the frame and allows for easy removal or relocation of the window decoration later. This type of mounting is possible thanks to the aluminium frame, which is fixed between the glass slats of the frame with magnetic and steel tape.
Styles and trends in Tilt&Turn window decoration
Tilt&Turn window decoration is available in different styles and materials, so you will always find something to suit your interior. In modern interiors, minimalist and clean pleated blinds are very popular. They are available in different colours and fabrics, allowing you to play with light and privacy. Venetian blinds give a timeless, elegant look and can be used in both classic and modern interiors.
Functionality: sun protection, privacy and heat insulation
Tilt and turn windows are functional and ideal for ventilation, but it is important to choose window decoration that also offers sun protection and thermal insulation. Window coverings with sun protection or blackout properties are perfect for rooms where you want to keep the sun out, such as bedrooms or living rooms that get a lot of sunlight. In addition, good window decoration solutions contribute to thermal insulation. By keeping heat in in winter and heat out in summer, curtains and blinds help to better regulate the temperature in your home. This can even contribute to energy savings. Privacy is another important aspect, especially for windows facing the street. With KeJe's window decoration, you can easily play with the light and thus privacy yourself. Another important aspect is that the windowsill remains free with the window decoration in frame, allowing the windowsill to be used for decoration and finishing.

At KeJe, you can choose two types of steel tape. A 14 mm and 8 mm steel tape. If the 14 mm is too wide for your frame go for the 8 mm steel tape. If you can't figure this out yourself, we always recommend contacting a KeJe dealer.
If you use the normal frame, we recommend a minimum depth of 17 mm. If the frame touches your window and is therefore not deep enough, we recommend going for the Triple frame. For the Triple frame, you need a depth of at least 10 mm. If you cannot work this out yourself, we always advise you to contact a KeJe dealer.
Should the rope tension decrease over time due to regular use, it is possible to restore it. In each corner there is a clamp through which the ropes run. By loosening the clamp, pulling the rope tighter and pushing/slamming the clamp back again, you increase the rope tension. If the tension is too low, the curtain "sags" and if the tension is too high, the curtain runs heavily. If you cannot work this out yourself, we always recommend contacting a KeJe dealer.
KeJe does not send fabric samples itself. We advise you to look for your nearest KeJe dealer. Often our dealers have fabric samples on site to show you.
Yes our window decoration is ideally suited for tilt-and-turn windows. Because of the magnetic and steel tape on the frame, there is no need for drilling and screwing, but the window decoration stays securely in place. You can then always safely open, tilt and close your window without any risk of the product coming loose.
The surface should be clean, dry and grease-free to ensure that the window decoration remains firmly in place. We recommend the steps below when mounting KeJe window decoration in frame products:
- Start with the cloth provided (number 1) and use it to degrease and clean the surface onto which the steel tape will be stuck. It is important to iron on one side. Do NOT go up and down over the frame.
- Let the window frame dry thoroughly before taking bag 2. The second cloth creates a primer layer on the window frame. Again, it is important to apply only one side.
- Remove the steel tape from the product and mount tape by tape the steel tape on the frame. It is important that you stick it straight; if it is stuck at an angle, the adhesion will not be optimal! When all the steel strips have been stuck, press the steel strip down well with a dry cloth a few times, so that all the air underneath is gone.
- The glue that is on the steel strip and adheres to the frame gets stronger with time. After 2 to 3 hours, the glue is at full strength. You can now easily click (magnetically) the KeJe window decoration product onto the steel tape.
If you are unable to do this yourself, we always recommend contacting a KeJe dealer.
If you order our Lamella which is larger than 1200 mm, an intermediate upright is always used. The intermediate upright ensures that the product retains its shape and tension well, which benefits the life span of the product. If you place several Lamella products next to each other, pay close attention to the placement of the intermediate upright. We always advise you to contact a KeJe dealer.
Plisségordijnen zijn verkrijgbaar in verschillende soorten, elk met hun eigen functionaliteit. Voor ruimtes waar verduistering belangrijk is, zoals de slaapkamer, zijn er verduisterende stoffen voor de plisségordijnen. Deze verduisterende stoffen zorgen ervoor dat er geen licht naar binnen komt via het doek, wat bijdraagt aan een betere nachtrust. Bij plisségordijnen in frame zal er altijd rondom het doek of frame geringe kans zijn op lichtinval. Wil je zo min mogelijk licht in je kamer, dan adviseren wij te kiezen voor een plisségordijn in frame. Doordat het doek in een frame zit opgesloten en je deze raamdecoratie direct op je glaslat plaatst is de kans op binnenkomend licht het kleinst.
Bij de Splendid Pliss, het meest verkochte plisségordijn bij KeJe, kun je kiezen uit verschillende stofsoorten. Van decoratief tot verduisterend. Bij ons Day 'n Night plisségordijn combineren we twee aparte plisségordijnen in één frame. Dit plisségordijn geeft je de mogelijkheid een transparante en verduisterende stof te combineren. Hiermee kun je overdag kiezen voor de lichtdoorlatende stof om extra sfeer en kleur in huis te creëren en s'avonds kan je kiezen voor de verduisterende stof om zo min mogelijk licht in je kamer te krijgen.
