Services

Honeycomb Shades

Honeycomb shades feature a dual-layer cellular design for superior insulation, reducing energy costs by trapping air within their structure. They operate bottom-up and top-down without cords, ensuring safety and ease of use. Customizable in 170+ fabrics, they fit shallow mounts as narrow as 1 inch for modern, sleek installations.

Pleated Blinds

Pleated blinds offer 500+ fabric choices with bottom-up top-down functionality for precise light management. At 7/8 inches deep, they suit minimal trim spaces and install via drill-free methods. Their durable design allows stacking at any window position for unobstructed views or privacy.

Child Safe Shades

Patented child-safe shades eliminate dangling cords using enclosed tension strings and magnetic mounts. Approved under US and Canadian safety standards, they combine 2-inch aluminum rails with easy 'click' installation. Available in pleated or honeycomb styles, ensuring family-friendly functionality.

Narrow Depth Blinds

Engineered for shallow frames, these blinds require only 1/2 inch of mounting depth, preserving original window aesthetics. They maintain full bottom-up top-down operation without compromising durability. Ideal for contemporary glass doors, French windows, and historic renovations needing unobtrusive solutions.

Roller Shades

Roller shades provide minimalist coverage for large openings up to 120 inches wide, featuring motorized operation and blackout theater settings. The 2-inch design integrates zebra patterns or dual-layer fabrics for light diffusion. Compliant with US child safety laws through cordless automation.

I bought my shades from Fenstermann several years ago and installed them myself. Spent tons of time looking for shades I could pull bottom up or top down with a low profile and minimal hardware. I was so happy to stumble across Fenstermann. After years of use, my shades still look great. I rarely recommend anything, but these shades are the best!

We live in California and purchased German Tilt-and-Turn windows from a supplier out of the mid-West United States and the supplier was unable to provide blinds for the windows. After searching online, we came across Fenstermann and sent some emails requesting information. The company was amazingly responsive and even did a "virtual site-survey" with us via video-chat. They showed us different options and provided all the information we needed to order the correct blinds.

We worked directly with Ingo Scholz and was VERY happy with his service! The blinds came in faster than we expected and are super happy with the result! We got the "Surface Mount Blackout Honeycomb Shades" in light gray.

It was a pleasure doing business with you. We thank you for your punctuality, your professionalism and above all bringing to the USA these wonderful products from Germany. We love our shades. They are the finishing touch to the office, the two bathrooms and the guest bedroom.

I could not imagine how anything could have been done better, either in the quality of the windows, or in the timeliness and the quality of support. Thank you Fenstermann.

Ingo and his team of designers built our front door and we are extremely happy. The front door is the most talked about feature in the home. We had a very tough deadline and Ingo had no problem meeting it. He was very pleasant to deal with and got us through a very stressful process. We are happy that we chose Ingo

As a result of a question I posted on Houzz, David Hill of Fenstermann LLC answered my post and was able to assist me in solving a very unusual and difficult window treatment dilemma all the way from the West coast, while I am located on the East coast!
