Updated June 2025: When it comes to upgrading your windows, stick on blinds offer a unique blend of convenience and cost-savings. But are they really worth it?
In this post, we’ll dive into the benefits, performance, and when adhesive blinds make sense, especially if you’re seeking no drill blinds, blinds without drill, or temporary blinds. We’ll also spotlight three stellar Stick2Fit products from SelectBlinds and explore other no‑drill products in our lineup.
The Growing Market for Window Treatments
Business Insider reported there are over 45 million renter-occupied households in the US in 2023, and that number has climbed sharply from about 39.7 million in 2010.
Plus, renting is no longer just a temporary phase: many treat it as a long-term lifestyle. Over a third of renters don’t plan on buying a home in the future, according to a Forbes 2025 article.
With more people renting — and doing so for longer — solutions like no‑drill, rent‑friendly stick on blinds are booming. These renters seek temporary blinds that install easily, damage-free, and deliver control over light and privacy, all without the hassle of drilling.
Why Select Stick2Fit Adhesive Blinds?
1. Quick & Easy DIY Installation
No tools, no hassle — just peel and press. Stick2Fit Cellulars can repurpose spaces like dorms, rentals, or apartments where drilling isn’t permitted.
2. Energy Savings & Insulation
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, cellular shades can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 40% and unwanted solar heat through windows by up to 60%.
3. Complete Light Control & Privacy
The blackout stick-on shades can block up to 99% of light, which is ideal if you’re after true darkness for sleep or cinema-like rooms.
4. Protects Furniture & Keeps You Cozy
By blocking UV rays and stabilizing room temps, these shades help prevent fading and lower winter heating needs. Layering them with curtains can add another layer of insulation.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long does adhesion last?
Properly installed stick-on blinds can stay intact for up to 3 years. In mild climates, they often last even longer.
2. Can you reuse adhesive blinds in a new room?
They are not reusable; however, they are easy to uninstall, which makes them great for renters who need to remove their belongings.
3. Will their adhesive damage walls?
No drilling, no damage — peel Stick2Fit Cellulars off gently any flat wall (avoid popcorn-textured walls) and any residue wipes clean with mild soap and water.
4. Are they better than magnetic or tension-mounted blinds?
Stick-on blinds don’t need frames or extra pieces. They are outside mounted only.
5. Can I get other styles without drilling?
Yes! We carry tension-mount versions of roller blinds for windows, roman shades, and more—including fully custom blinds.
