FAQ

Questions our visitors ask most

Honest, straightforward answers about styles, products, our tools and how we work.

What does mashrabiya mean and where does the pattern come from?

Mashrabiya is a traditional element of Islamic architecture — a perforated wood or metal screen that lets light and air through while preserving privacy. Today it inspires modern screens, curtains and window films with the same aesthetic.

Can window film be installed without drilling or permanent glue?

Yes — most modern window films (static-cling or removable self-adhesive) go straight onto clean glass without drilling or permanent adhesive, and can usually be removed later without damage.

What's the difference between venetian blinds and a roller shutter?

Venetian blinds are horizontal or vertical slats you angle to control light, usually mounted indoors. A roller shutter mounts outside the window and gives stronger thermal and security protection but blocks all light when closed.

How do I measure my window correctly before buying?

Measure width and height from the inside at three points (top, middle, bottom) and use the smallest value to avoid a tight fit. Try our Window Planner to enter your measurements and see the result instantly.

How do I clean and care for a mashrabiya screen or window film?

Wood or metal screens usually just need an occasional wipe with a dry or lightly damp cloth. Window film should be cleaned with mild soapy water and no abrasive materials to protect its surface.

Do you have decoration ideas specifically for Ramadan?

Yes — our Ramadan page includes a countdown, a preparation checklist, and recommendations for lanterns, curtains and lighting that bring out the atmosphere of the holy month.
