Pleated Blinds
Crisp geometric folds in an extraordinary range of fabrics — the most versatile solution for European windows.
The European Pleated System
Precise folds. Precise fit. Precisely designed for European windows.
Premium pleated blinds are defined by their signature fold: a crisp, geometric accordion pleat that stacks cleanly when raised and extends uniformly when lowered. Unlike softer Roman or honeycomb shades, the pleated blind maintains its geometric character at every position.
For tilt & turn windows, our pleated systems use a tensioned rail and four-point attachment to keep the fabric aligned to the sash. Compatible no-drill methods include adhesive strips, bonded plates, and specialty clips; permanent mounts are also available when the frame and project call for them.
The system is approximately ⅞ inch (22mm) deep, and selected installations need only ½ inch (13mm) of secure mounting surface. The fabric library includes more than 500 choices spanning sheer voile, woven privacy textures, room-darkening textiles, and blackout fabrics. Blackout fabric blocks light through the material; perimeter darkness depends on rail and channel coverage.
Specialty configurations include bottom-up/top-down positioning, day/night dual-fabric systems, special shapes, and selected powered operations. We confirm the exact configuration against the frame, size, fabric, and hardware before ordering.
