Pleated Free-hang & Tensioned

Pleated blinds add a special look to any window. Nowadays, we look for perfect clean lines in our decor, and soft colours to compliment our natural furnishings. Pleated blinds can be the perfect blind for so many rooms. No longer restricted to the conservatory, pleated blinds can look great just about anywhere.

They offer maximum protection for the sun’s harmful rays, and take up very little space in the roof area and the fabric will help to reduce heat build up in summer and retain heat in winter, in turn
keeping your cooling and heating bills to a minimum! To further maximise the superb insulating idea too, you can choose our energy efficient fabrics and save yourself up to 15% on your annual fuel bills.

Product Options

Free-hanging Blind
- A free-hanging pleated blind operates much like a roller or roman blind. You pull the cord, and the blind rises. If you release the cord, it lowers, and locks off wherever you choose to stop it.
Tensioned Blind
- A tensioned pleated blind doesn’t have a pull cord. It has a handle instead. The blind is usually fixed to the window beading, and is operated just by moving the blind to the desired position. The blind will stop wherever you leave it, because it has a special cording system built in, which uses friction to keep it in place. can be fitted into between the beading like perfect fit but with out a frame
