Pleated Blinds

Why should I choose Pleated Blinds?

Pleated blinds are incredibly functional blinds with a wide range of modern and contemporary fabrics available. Pleated blinds are often used in conservatories, as they offer a soft shading effect, filtering sunlight, so the room doesn’t become too hot and uncomfortable. You can also ask for special solar finishes that block harmful UV rays. Another plus for pleated blinds is how they concertina out of sight at the top or bottom of the window, leaving just a small stack – perfect if you prefer a minimal look during the day, want to enjoy the view, or don’t have much space around your window. Many pleated blind systems are also cordless, so they’re a safe choice if you have young children. Pleated blinds are an excellent eco-friendly choice. You can opt for a thermal layer or coating, so your blinds offer more insulation and help regulate room temperature better. So-called ‘honeycomb’, or cellular, designs trap air inside two layers, keeping the heat in during winter and out in summer. For more on why you should choose Pleated Blinds, visit our blog.
