Pleated blinds
Stylish blinds in beautiful fabrics
Pleated blinds are suitable for all types of glazing and are ideal for roof and shaped glazing. This versatile blind can also operate from the bottom up as well as the top down when tensioned models are used.
A pleated blind consists of a length of permanently pleated fabric
attached to various head and bottom rail configurations and operating
in a concertina fashion to raise or lower the blind.
Blinds may be free hanging thereby operated via a cord and cord lock
or manufactured to a constantly tensioned method to allow the fabric
to be adjusted along its length of travel without the need for hanging
cords making a suitable solution where young children may be present.
Typically pleated fabrics are light in weight and this, in conjunction with the ability for the blind to be manufactured to satisfy shaped openings, results in the product being especially suited for skylight and conservatory applications.
Pleated blinds are available in a variety of pleat depths the most
popular being 20mm and 25mm. Many pleated fabrics feature additional
coatings to improve their solar and optical performance the most
popular of which are specialist solar performance coatings and
metallised finishes.
Some systems offer a pleat securing method that ensures that
pleat retention is always maintained.
