Hello,
Does anyone have a tip for affordable pleated blinds (plissé) wider than 1.50m (5 feet), which is usually the maximum? I need 1.65m (5.4 feet) for a fixed glazing section (window strip) and, if possible, a mounting method that doesn’t require drilling. Or would you drill into the frame for installation?
Thanks!

For example, we currently have one of these blinds installed indoors with a rotary knob and another one elsewhere with a cord/rod. Depending on the application, the rotary knob is really convenient. In my opinion, 150cm (59 inches) width is the maximum for this type. Of course, there are probably other suppliers with similar options. We will likely do the same again for our new build.
In our apartment, we also got ours from Rollo Rieper. Everything is great. Our current ones are from Amazon. Depending on the supplier, you can also find some that fit your measurements.
Personally, I would avoid interior decorators. With a bit of patience, it’s very easy to do yourself.
We once asked one for pleated blinds and another for a fly screen door.
The pleated blinds cost 250 EUR per piece including installation, and for the door, they wanted nearly 900 EUR net. Apparently, by now enough people have two left hands, so they can charge such prices.

The meaning of the phrase "I am building a house" has changed completely in recent years. Building a house yourself used to mean that the homeowner was heavily involved, often working independently with calloused hands, back pain from carrying heavy cement bags, no free time, and much more. Today, with general contractors, developers, or similar arrangements, the situation is quite different, largely excluding the intense physical strain once experienced by homeowners.
Although I don’t necessarily miss the sometimes almost harmful effects on health when the motto was "long arms – short breaks!", I also somehow don’t want to miss out on that experience.
Probably for this reason, there are now all these ready-made solutions, which unfortunately sometimes prevent people from thinking and exploring on their own, even though the internet offers a vast range of information to achieve special and often affordable DIY results, and to carry out the installation of simple solutions like this yourself.
