Highly Recommend!! Have a new home with 27 Craftsman style windows that needed coverings. Typical companies wanted to put external mount or plantation shutters on. They looked so bulky and awkward I couldn't do it. The jam on the Windows is just over 1/2in. so most coverings would not fit. I finally found Fenstermann as an alternative. The blinds are sleek, high quality, and come in a variety of colors and styles. Far more than the alternatives could offer. When I called the office to order at 630p expecting to leave a message, Ingo himself answered the phone and took my order and walked me through the process. When the blinds came there was one missing. I took some photos of the package and emailed Ingo. The same day he put in the order to replace the lost shade, no issues. I installed the shades myself. By the third shade I timed myself, it took 10 minutes. The shades look great and are easy to use. They have a new feature with magnets at the top fittings so the shades will 'click' into the top for a snug fit. Really nice.

As part of a construction project on our home we installed European Tilt & Turn Windows and Doors. Searching for shades to fit these particular Windows and Doors was frustrating. The usual local suppliers offered shades that contain mostly cumbersome and unattractive features or hardware. I found most headers for doors or larger windows extremely wide and bulky looking. Through my online search I came about Fenstermann LLC - German Window Blinds & Shads. What a find! Ingo the president of the company is knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and generous with his time. Fabric samples I asked for arrived quickly. The order took almost no time to arrive. The shads look wonderful, fit perfectly, have the clean features I was looking for and were easy to install. The manufacturer uses small, minimal hardware using headers that are almost invisible which is so lovely compared with most alternatives. Not to mention that in comparison the cost was definitely more reasonable. Prior to installation Ingo took the time to go over the steps via video conference. His help made the installation not only quick, easy and problem free but also fun and pleasant. I am extremely happy to have found this company, have these Shades on my windows and Doors and to have had the opportunity to work with Ingo Scholz.

My husband found Fenstermann window treatments online and we contacted Ingo Scholz to see if we could get some pleated blind samples. Our project was four double hung windows in an older home with curved oak moldings, so we had very little clearance to hang inside window treatments. Ingo was helpful at each step of the process - gave us insights into the different types of privacy, provided us samples, placed the order for us, even corrected an issue we had when it was realized we hadn't specified the hardware color. (I should point out that we live 1500 miles away in the Midwest and Ingo is in Florida). We measured the windows and did the installation ourselves by following Ingo's YouTube videos - the fit was perfect and the blinds look fantastic. I guess the highest compliment we can give is that we are now looking at another installation of the product for a different room in our home and are planning to work with Ingo again.

We recently had European style tilt-turn windows installed in our house. Getting the right window coverings was a challenge. Working with Ingo, we found the right product. He patiently guided us through the decision-making and self-installation process, which turned out to be no problem at all, even for a person not particularly handy with do-it-yourself projects around the house. We are very pleased with the results. Vielen Dank, Herr Fenstermann!

Excellent and friendly customer service from Ingo, he was glad to send color and texture samples and answer our many questions. The blinds are beautiful, fit perfectly in our rather narrow window openings, easy to operate, and the blackout shades really work. They were also easy to install, which we weren't expecting. Very happy with our blinds!

I spent a couple of years looking at honeycomb window shades from different manufacturers but the shades were too bulky for our windows. After searching for low-profile shades, I discovered Fenstermann and working with Ingo was a pleasure. Not only did the shades arrive on schedule, they were easy to install and met all of our expectations and beyond.

We just built a new house, and one of the challenges was to find shades for the European tilt and turn windows. Additionally, our media room has tall ceilings and clerestory windows that we needed to block sunlight to watch TV without glare. The windows are so high up we needed a remote control. We called multiple shade/blind companies in the Boston area, but to our surprise, many of them did not know much about these types of windows. The company that sold us the windows said: "Look no further; Fennstermann is your man!" We were initially skeptical because he lives in Florida, and my husband and I are not handy people. We always thought this should be done entirely by a professional, but Ingo made the job easy. Ingo's service was impeccable. He guided us through the different types of available shades. There were many! He shipped us swatches we liked and explained how the shades would work. We questioned whether we could get the correct measurement, but Ingo had a video and paper instructions teaching us how to do it correctly. After receiving the shades, he patiently helped us put the first shade up via video call. Ingo was cheerful, funny, knowledgeable, and responsive to any issues and concerns we had. We had a small problem with the order, and Ingo was prompt and swift in rectifying the issue. The shades look great We got two different shades. For tilt and turn windows, we could only get the honeycomb type. They block the light just right, working great in our bedrooms. We are delighted. They look expensive, modern, and sleek. In the media room, we wanted a total blackout. The windows are 10 feet from the floor, so we needed a remote control. The shades roll smoothly, and the remote control is sexy. It feels like midnight when the shades are down—perfect movie-viewing experience. The price is right We were surprised Fennstermann had similar and often better pricing than other companies from which we got estimates. We were always dealing with Ingo, and he was always there for us, offering his expertise. He made a potentially anxiety-provoking experience pleasant and fulfilling. If you are looking for blinds and shades, give Fenstermann LLC a call. I am sure you will be very happy. Marcelo and Jason

We bought out doors from Fensterman. Peter was amazing and very helpful both in the planning and installation process. We would recommend them to anyone looking for European doors and windows at a price that is very competitive. Thank you Fensterman

Having finished renovating an 1800s home, my wife was right that we had to get blinds for privacy. I had resisted, I couldn't imagine the typical big, bulky and ugly product in all the beautifully restored Victorian windows. And then we found Fenstermann -- too good to be true. The product can mount in such a shallow recess (1/2") without impinging on the aesthetics of the window, with a clever and discrete mechanism that provides the top-down and bottom-up function. And then we worked with Ingo and he's just as fantastic as his product. We first tried a single window and wow, perfect. So we did all twenty windows. And now I like blinds, so long as they are Fenstermann.

These roller shades are the absolute best! I got them for my baby's nursery with a blackout material and they make her room so dark! She definitely sleeps better now during the day. I love the motorized roller because there are no cords or strings so it's safe for my baby and cats. The quality of the unit and the shade material is incredible and I love the remote with the magnetic mount. I will definitely buy one for my bedroom and the kitchen which are on the west side of my house and get very hot in the summer.

We recently purchased a home with an East-facing bedroom window. Despite plantation shutters already installed there was considerable light 'leakage' around the gaps. Enough that we went looking for a solution. I brought in four different shutter/blind companies for estimates and none of them had a product that would fit behind the the shutters in the narrow space. I was resigned to installing blackout curtains in front of the shutters when I came across Fenstermann on a discussion/article on Houzz. I contacted Ingo and was pleasantly surprised when he said his product would work for our solution. A couple of follow up emails and video chats and we were all good to go. When the product arrived and was installed we couldn't have been happier. The result is a clean, professional look that cuts out that annoying light in the early mornings. Throughout the process Ingo proved to be thoughtful, caring and engaging, a truly wonderful customer experience! Here's to restful sleeps! Wunderbar! We can'tt recommend Ingo and Fenstermmann LLC highly enough!

My husband and I have been looking for window treatments for many years. We settled on curtains, but still the curtains weren't the look or did they fill the need we had for use. We have narrow window frames and we couldn't find any shades/blinds that would fit. I came across Fenstermann company and started to research..... This company makes the shades/blinds that fit narrow windows!! It has been great to work with Ingo Scholz. We received samples to check on the fabric we wanted. It was easy to send the sizes of our windows and he was very clear going over all the details. The blinds arrived and my husband was able to install these with the excellent directions! They look wonderful and fill the need we had for blocking the sun in the summer and allowing in the natural light other times. They give our kitchen a clean look and we love it. We are so pleased with these blinds and the integrity of this company. We will be measuring more windows and send in another order! These blinds are worth the cost and we feel are top quality!

We purchased a contemporary home in Boca Raton. Due to the shallow depth of the contemporary windows we were unable to purchase any products that would not overlap at the corners. Fenstermann shades were a perfect fit for the solution. And, not only did the fit but they had a huge selection of patterns and colors. Ingo was a pleasure to work worth and the products came in timely.

Bought a condo with European tilt & turn windows and doors. Desperately needed window coverings, but wanted a sleek, clean look that none of the usual providers could meet. Found Fenstermann and they had exactly what I wanted! Ingo was really helpful and easy to work with. The shades are custom, were simple to install, fit perfectly, and work with the window in any position. I went with a white honeycomb, mounted top & bottom, with cordless operation. Everyone comments on how great they look. So glad I found this option!! HIGHLY recommend.

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.

We got shades from Fenstermann for our French glass doors about a year ago. They were custom made perfectly and were exactly what we wanted, held down at both the top and bottom with top-down and bottom-up cordless lift. Ingo was so great to work with and answered all my questions, and even made time to visit us and measure for us when he was in town for another project and was really friendly. He had lots of options for color and style and helped us select. We've been so happy with our shades.

Perfection! From start to finish, Fenstermann was a pleasure to deal with and I'm so happy that we found them. Samples were sent overnight, selections made and blinds delivered seamlessly. We are very happy with the products and will definitely be back for more. Absolutely do not hesitate to make your next purchase from here.
