What Are Pleated Blinds and How Do They Work?
Pleated blinds are window coverings made from finely pleated fabric. Their design makes them flexible and widely applicable in homes and commercial spaces, whether for decoration, dimming, irregularly shaped windows, or winter gardens. They operate by moving up and down from both the top and bottom, allowing precise control of light and privacy. Pleated blinds are an excellent choice for tilt-and-turn windows, as they allow easy window operation without the need to lift the blind.
