Pleated Blinds
Energy efficient style. Pleated blinds (sometimes referred to as Plisse) are an attractive and versatile alternative to a Roller or Venetian blind. The blinds have very slim top and bottom rails and draw up to the top of the window very neatly when not required – taking up less room than other types of blind. Pleated blinds are ideal for use in all rooms of the house, however they have a particular place in the conservatory.
There are two blind types available:
- A free-hanging blind for windows and conservatory glass walls and doors
- A rectangular skylight blind, suitable for glass ceilings and roofs.
Pleated blinds come in a large range of subtle and vibrant shades, with the majority having an energy-saving coating. The Skylight version can be installed as a “bottom up” blind option – ideal for shaped windows.
They feature a unique honeycomb construction that makes the shades soft, durable and highly energy efficient. The shades have built-in insulating characteristics that keep the heat out in the summer and the warmth in during the winter. Available in numerous colours and a wide variety of opaque, semi-opaque fabrics and black-out fabrics.
