Pleated Blinds

Pleated blinds are one of the most versatile blind available today and they can be made to fit almost any shape or size of window.

They are also easily adapted to slant or roof windows which is why they are the favourite choice of blind for conservatory and attic roofs.

Pleated blinds are not just for your angled windows, however as they look fabulous at any window, offering a contemporary look that will match your décor perfectly.

Pleated Blind Safety FAQ

What about cords & chains on Pleated Blinds?

For all blinds supplied with a cord or chain, our fitter will install a discreet little cleat or hook for the cord to wrap around, so there are no loose strings. These are fitted at a minimum height of 1.5m above the ground.

Having a safety device is now a legal requirement even in homes without children, as little ones may visit you from time-to-time. In fact, if you move home and leave your blinds, you have an obligation to make sure they are legally safe.​

With certain blinds, you can order a special kind of breakaway chain that will pull apart with excess force.  The good news is that they are easy to reassemble if pulled apart by accident.

What about old blinds without safety devices?

If your existing blind is old and does not have a cleat or break chain, please fit a safety device as soon as possible to make your product child-safe.  Even if it wasn’t originally bought from us, we will provide you with the right safety device for your blinds free of charge.

Do you have any general tips on how to be child-safe?

Your Stylux advisor will take care of installing the appropriate child safety devices for you on your fitting day, but there are a couple of additional steps you can take to ensure that your blinds and curtains are child safe:

​

• Keep all cords and chains out of the reach of children using the safety hooks and cleats which have been fitted for you.
   

• Loose cords or chains should never be tied together.
   

• Furniture that children could climb on should be kept away from your windows

Which is the best child-safe window dressing?

There are lots of cordless blinds and other kinds of window dressings that are safe for homes with young children.

​

• Consider our Perfect Fit frames, which click into place between the beading and glass of a uPVC window, with the blinds fitting within this made-to-measure casing. There are no operating cords at all - instead the blinds are controlled using a simple tab or wand. Our Pleated, Venetian and Roller blinds can all be installed in this way.
   

• Think about a Tab Pleated, which is fitted in the traditional manner but operated with a thumb tab rather than a cord.
   

• Another handy feature of these blinds is that they can be positioned anywhere on the window, so you get more flexible light control.  You can also choose some special thermal fabrics which will keep rooms beautifully snug. 
   

• Another option is our cord and chain-free luxury Roller blinds. You operate the blind by adjusting the bottom bar of the blind or the decorative pull.
   

• Take your Roller blind one step further with a fully motorised option, where your blinds operated with a remote control.
   

• You could also think about shutters, which are inherently safe by design. We have a wide collection of colours from classic white to custom colours.
   

• Our Vertical blinds can be wand-operated, so there’s no need for cords or chains.  And, of course, curtains are always a safe option.
   

• Curtains for a pole or on a standard track have no operating cords either.

Pleated Blind Cleaning Advice

Pleated blinds need very little maintenance to stay looking good, as the louvres simply hang down so don’t trap dirt and dust easily. And because our blinds come in a range of practical fabrics, including PVC, they are very easy to wash clean simply using a clean, damp cloth which means you don’t have to take them down to keep them looking great.

The only part of your blind which may need more attention is the headrail which is where the operating mechanism sits. This can gather dust and will benefit from an occasional deep clean. 

General Pleated Blind Cleaning

Stubborn Stains

If your Vertical blind is in a high usage area, such as a kitchen, you may find that you need to clean them more frequently to remove stubborn stains.

If you do have a stain that will not lift easily with a damp cloth, then you could try treating the stain with a fabric stain remover.

To do this, simply rub the affected area with the stain remover according the manufacturer instructions. However, be aware that there is a chance that the treated area may look significantly lighter than the rest of the blind.

Cleaning The Headrail

To clean your headrail, you should carefully unclip each of the louvres from the headrail brackets so that you can get easy access to the underside of the headrail. 

Once you have removed the blind, simply wipe the headrail clean with a damp cloth. Then simply click your blind back into place.

While you are cleaning your headrail, you could also squirt a drop of silicone spray into the side rail which is where the winding mechanism sits. Silicone spray will keep the mechanism well lubricated and ensure its smooth operation. Use the spray sparingly and avoid contact with the blind fabric so that it does not become stained.
