Frequently Asked Questions
What are pleated blinds?
Pleated blinds are window coverings made from a single piece of fabric that folds into crisp, pleated sections when raised. When lowered, the fabric creates a smooth and elegant surface that reduces or filters light. This design not only adds a chic touch to your windows but also provides practical solutions for light control, privacy, and insulation.
Are pleated blinds suitable for all rooms?
Yes, pleated blinds are versatile and can be adapted to suit any room in your home. The fabric choice and addition of perfect-fit frames are important to tailor the amount of light control and privacy you require. They are ideal for living spaces, bedrooms, kitchens, home offices, and bathrooms.
How do I measure my windows for pleated blinds?
For traditional pleated blinds, there are two types of measuring options:
Recess fitting: Measure your windows from top to bottom and from side to side. Measure in three places for both height and width and take the shortest measurement.
Exact fitting: Measure the sides of your recess then add on a little extra so the blinds overlap your window space. We recommend adding at least 70mm at the top and 50mm each side to prevent light seepage as much as possible.
How do pleated blinds operate?
Pleated blinds can be corded or cordless. Cordless versions usually operate through a simple push-pull mechanism, making them child-safe and user-friendly. For the ultimate ease of use, motorised pleated blinds can be operated through a remote control or via a smartphone app.
Are pleated blinds energy-efficient?
Yes, pleated blinds, especially honeycomb (cellular) styles, offer excellent thermal insulation. Their design traps air within the pleats, helping to regulate room temperature by providing an extra layer of insulation. This can be beneficial for keeping rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
How do I clean pleated blinds?
Pleated blinds are generally low maintenance. For regular cleaning, use a feather duster or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to gently remove dust or debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with a mild detergent solution. Avoid soaking the blinds in water, which can cause them to warp or lose shape.
Can pleated blinds be used on doors?
Yes, pleated blinds are an excellent choice for patio doors and other large sliding glass doors. They offer a versatile and sleek option for covering larger doorways, providing both privacy and light control.
Are pleated blinds suitable for bathrooms?
Yes, pleated blinds can be suitable for bathrooms. It's important to choose materials that are moisture-resistant and easy to clean. Opt for fabrics that can withstand the humid environment typical of bathrooms.
Do pleated blinds come in different colours and styles?
Yes, pleated blinds are available in a wide range of colours and styles to suit various décor themes. You can choose from light-filtering fabrics for a soft glow or blackout options for complete darkness. Customisation options allow you to select the perfect match for your interior design.
