Pleated blind made to measure

Play of light and privacy combined elegant folds conjure up atmosphere in every room

What are pleated blinds and why are they so popular?

The term “pleated blind” comes from French and means “folded.” This proven folding technique forms the core of modern pleated blinds, which are among the most sought-after window solutions today. A high-quality pleated blind not only effectively protects living spaces from intense sunlight, but also offers reliable protection from prying eyes from outside.

The characteristic zigzag shape of a pleated blind is created by the precise folding of the fabric, allowing the window element to be pushed together to save space. In contrast to n venetian blinds or roller blinds, pleated blinds are characterized by their elegant appearance and the ability to precisely adjust the light. This innovative design makes pleated blinds the ideal solution for all window shapes.

Professional installation and convenient operation

Our pleated blind systems are professionally installed in the window rebate or directly on the window sash as standard. An ergonomic operating handle enables infinite adjustment of the pleated blind, while the high-quality tensioning ensures optimum hold and a snug fit.

This allows you to regulate the incidence of light individually according to your needs and enjoy first-class sun, privacy and glare protection for your living spaces.

10 advantages of pleated blinds for stylish and functional privacy

  • Pleated blinds can be moved as desired, either from top to bottom or in both directions. This allows for targeted light control.

  • Many models can be attached directly to the window without tools. This is particularly practical for rental properties and delicate window frames.

  • Depending on the fabric type, pleated blinds protect against prying eyes without completely darkening the room. Ideal for living rooms and offices.

  • Pleated blinds are available in many colors, patterns, and fabric qualities. They adapt to every interior and every taste.

  • Even for unusual window shapes such as skylights or round windows, we offer custom-made pleated blinds that fit perfectly.

  • Thanks to their slim design, pleated blinds fit flush with the window frame and are particularly unobtrusive.

  • Handling is comfortable and intuitive, whether by handle, cord, crank, or electric drive.

  • Special materials such as honeycomb fabrics help to keep the heat out in summer and the warmth in the room in winter.

  • Many pleated blinds are made of easy care fabrics that can be easily wiped or vacuumed.

  • There are moisture resistant fabrics that are particularly suitable for rooms with high humidity.

What mounting options are there?

Pleated blinds offer practical solutions for every window: With various mounting options, such as free-hanging or tensioned, they can be individually installed. Drill-free mounting options are particularly advantageous, allowing for uncomplicated installation.

How does the operation work?

Pleated blinds can be operated in a variety of ways: by simply pulling the handle, using a cord or chain, or even an electric drive. Each of these methods allows the blind to be flexibly adjusted to the desired height.

Designs

Plissé blinds are available in numerous designs and can be flexibly adapted to different window shapes and areas of application. Special solutions such as pleated blinds for roof windows or unusual window shapes such as triangular and round windows are also available for special requirements.

Yes! Pleated blinds help to keep your home warm – just like a warm jacket for your windows.

How does it work? Pleated blinds act like an additional protective layer in front of your windows. They keep the warm air in and the cold air out. This is particularly helpful in winter.

Especially good: honeycomb pleated blinds Honeycomb pleated blinds are the champions when it comes to saving energy. They have small air chambers (like honeycombs) that act like many small air cushions. These air cushions keep your rooms up to 40% warmer.

They also help in summer: Special pleated blinds with a silver coating work like a mirror. They reflect the sun’s hot rays and keep your rooms cool – like a sunshade for your window.

Save money with pleated blinds:

  • Lower heating costs in winter (savings of up to 20% possible)
  • Less air conditioning in summer
  • A pleasant room temperature all year round

Expert tip: You will achieve the best thermal insulation if the pleated blind is installed directly on the window. This prevents warm air from escaping between the window and the pleated blind.

Your pleated blind keeps coming down? This is annoying, but usually easy to fix! Here are the most common reasons and simple solutions:

Problem 1: Broken brake in the pleated blind What happens: Every pleated blind has a small brake inside (like on a bicycle). If this is broken, the pleated blind slides down. Solution: This repair should be carried out by a specialist, as special parts are required.

Problem 2: Pulled too tight What happens: If you pull too hard on the pleated blind, the cords can be overstretched – like a rubber band that is stretched too far. Solution: Always pull gently and evenly. Never pull jerkily!

Problem 3: The pleated blind is old and worn out What happens: After many years, the parts become weaker. Solution: Time for spare parts or a new pleated blind.

Quick help tips:

  • Check all cords for knots or damage
  • Test whether all parts can still be moved
  • If problems persist: Get specialist advice

Important: Don’t try to do complicated repairs yourself. This can cause more damage!
