Wide selection of fabrics

Tension-mounted in the window recess
There are times when you need to block out light but don't want to or aren't allowed to drill into your windows. In modern houses with aluminium frames around the windows, you are often not allowed to drill because they are part of the load-bearing structure.
Hasta Tension is a friction roller blind that fastens by tensioning it in the window recess. The spring-loaded mechanism has mounting plates that attach to the wall when you turn and expand the roller blind.

Frequently asked questions about the Tension roller blind
What is the difference between 28 mm and 38 mm?
28 and 38 mm refer to the size of the tube on which the fabric is rolled.
The fabric itself is always a few cm narrower than the overall dimensions (the width of the roller blind including brackets). On Tension 28 mm, the fabric is approx. 3 cm narrower, while on 38 mm it is approx. 5 cm narrower.
This means that there are generally smaller gaps at the sides of the fabric with Tension 28 mm. This can be an advantage if you want to use a blackout roller blind and want to minimise light transmission at the sides.
Tension 38 mm, on the other hand, has a thicker tube which allows for a greater height of the roller blind, as the tube can handle more weight from the fabric.
Tension 28 mm requires a recess depth of 5 cm to be properly installed, while Tension 38 mm requires an installation surface of approximately 6 cm.
How do I measure for Tension?
Always measure the recess exactly where the roller blind will be installed, in case the window is slightly crooked. If you have a very crooked and warped window, it is a good idea to check that the width of the window recess does not differ by more than 1 cm on each side. Otherwise, there is a risk that the roller blind will hit the sides when you roll it down.
When ordering Hasta Tension, you should always state the exact width of the window recess, and we will make the roller blind to fit that measurement perfectly.
How deep does the recess need to be?
Tension 28 mm needs a recess depth of 5 cm to properly attach, while Tension 38 mm needs approximately 6 cm of mounting surface.
Which fabrics are suitable for Tension?
All standard roller blind fabrics are suitable for Hasta Tension, including plain, blackout, Day&Night, and screen fabrics.
How accurately do I need to measure?
It's important that you measure as precisely as possible. The roller blind has a tolerance level of +/-1.5 mm.
However! The roller blind will look best if you provide exact measurements – so measure carefully!
How wide will the fabric itself be?
Because Hasta Tension expands to fit the recess, the difference between the overall dimensions and the fabric dimensions depends on how accurately you have measured. If you have measured accurately, the bracket takes up approx. 1.5–2.5 cm on each side, i.e. the fabric is approx. 3–5 cm narrower than the overall dimensions of the roller blind.
Is Tension available as other blinds?
Yes, Tension is also available as a no-drill Venetian blind!
