Your Questions Answered
FAQ: Pleated Blinds
Q: What are Pleated Blinds?
A: Pleated and Cellular Blinds are made from single or double-pleated fabrics that naturally provide thermal efficiency. The structure of the fabric, combined with special coatings, helps regulate temperature by reducing solar gain in summer and retaining heat in winter. They are especially popular in conservatories and other rooms that experience extremes of heat and cold.
Q: What windows are best suited for Pleated Blinds?
A: Pleated Blinds are very versatile. Their slim 20mm profile makes them ideal for bi-folding doors and perfect for use with PerfectFit, INTU, or ClickFit systems. They also hold their shape well, making them a great solution for shaped windows such as arches or gable ends. Motorised pleated blinds are also an excellent option for large or high-level windows.
Q: What colours are available?
A: Pleated fabrics come in a wide range of colours and textures to suit any décor. Frameworks are typically available in White, Black, Brown, and Anthracite, with the option to powder coat to any RAL colour for a seamless finish.
Q: What variations are there?
A: Pleated Blinds can be made in several variations, including:
Free-hanging pleated blinds – for standard square or rectangular windows.
Tensioned pleated blinds – ideal for roof windows or bottom-up installations.
Beadfit systems – such as INTU, PerfectFit, and ClickFit, designed for no-screw installations.
Q: Can Pleated Blinds be motorised?
A: Yes. Pleated Blinds can be motorised using Somfy motors, providing smooth and convenient operation for both standard and shaped window systems.
Q: How long do Pleated Blinds take to make?
A: Standard Pleated Blinds are usually manufactured within 3–4 weeks. More complex or shaped blinds can take up to 10 weeks to produce.
Q: Are there any disadvantages?
A: The only minor drawback is that the fabric stack can slightly obscure the glass when the blinds are fully raised, but this is generally minimal.
Q: How long do Pleated Blinds last?
A: With proper care, Pleated Blinds typically last 5–10 years. All our pleated systems are built for durability and long-term use.
