What are Pleated blinds?

Pleated blinds offer practical and stylish solutions to suit all homes and budgets.

They’re a versatile solution for every room, especially garden rooms, conservatories and living spaces with bi-fold doors. With blackout and thermal properties plus shapes to fit windows of almost any size and angle.

Our range includes trend-let patterns, prints and colours, from vibrant tones to soft, calming neutrals, with an exclusive collection of fabrics designed in collaboration with House Beautiful.

Why should I choose Pleated blinds?

  • Minimise the light coming into your room with blackout fabrics
  • Specialist ThermaShadeTM and solar reflective SolarPleat™ fabrics will help keep your room cooler in summer and warm in winter
  • Perfect Fit blinds for windows and doors are a fuss-free, no-drill solution
  • Ideal for skylights and conservatory roofs, conservatories and glass extensions
  • Practical and stylish solution to suit all decors.

Can Pleated blinds keep my room warmer?

Yes, our clever ThermaShade™ blinds can reduce heat loss through your windows by up to 60%. Innovative honeycomb cells trap the heat and stop it escaping through your windows.

Our INTU Micro Hive Pleated blinds operate in a similar way. They are a slimline no-drill solution designed specifically for most UK bi-fold doors, so that they will not obstruct your doors opening or closing.

If your room is extra chilly, layering with thermal blinds will create an extra cosy finish in your home.

Are Pleated blinds blackout?

Due to their layered design, ThermaShade™ blinds will reduce the amount of light that enters your home, creating a blackout effect for a dark and cosy setting.

We also offer Pleated blinds in a variety of stunning colourways with blackout fabric in our Lanbury range. However, the holes drilled into the fabric for the operating cords will allow a little light seepage. For that reason they are not truly blackout.
