Pleated Shades Are Enchanting Window Treatments

Custom-Fit Pleated Shades

Pleated Shades (pleated blinds) are pleated fabric window treatments that pull up to sit flat at the top of a window to hide from sight, or left down and closed for privacy, or to reduce sunlight and heat.

Pleated Shades/Blinds come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from a simple pleated shade to a tailored Roman pleated shade. There are two basic types within the category of “pleated shades” —

1. Cellular Pleated Blinds - are similar to pleated blinds except that there are two or more layers joined at the pleats to form 'cellular’ compartments that trap air, providing insulation. Due to their cellular construction, cellular pleated blinds are known to for their energy saving capabilities. For greater insulation, cellular pleated blinds also come in double and triple cell styles. The more cells - the greater energy efficiency.
2. Soft Fabric Pleated Shade - created using many yards of fabric and there are several styles: Roman shades, tailored, flat horizontal tucks of fabric that rise up one fold over the other; Pleated Balloon Shades, a softer, less tailored option with soft box pleats; and the Austrian Curtain, full fabric that is shirred between vertical rows of rings.

All of these styles depend upon a vertical rigging. Rows of ring tape or individual rings are sewn into the construction of the curtain, and then a cord is attached linking them all together, so a simple pull on the cord makes the entire shade lift. And these shades can be an inside mount, meaning the fixture stays with the frame of the window from jamb to jamb; or, an outside mount that is affixed over the top of the window molding.
