Pleated Blinds
The mounting type defines the model. It is fitted the way the joinery allows.
Pleated Blind Categories
The same pleated system comes in different fabric, pattern and transparency classes. The category matching the need is chosen.
Plain Pleated Blinds
Unpatterned, single-colour pleated fabric. A plain, timeless look that suits every space — the essential solution.
Sheer Pleated Blinds
Transparent pleated fabric. Filters daylight while keeping the view open — for bright, airy rooms.
Printed Pleated Blinds
Motif-printed pleated fabric. Turns the window into a decorative element — for themed spaces and children's rooms.
Patterned Pleated Blinds
Textured, patterned pleated fabrics. A blind with more character and depth than a flat surface.
Day & Night Dual Pleated Blind
Sheer and blackout fabric combined in one system. Daylight by day, full privacy by night.
Semi-Blackout Pleated Blinds
Dim-out pleated fabric. Softens bright daylight — for rooms that do not need total darkness.
Blackout Pleated Blinds
Blackout pleated fabric. Cuts the light — total darkness for bedrooms and projection rooms.
The technical details of screw, adhesive, hook, glazing-bead and bracket bonds are listed by connection type on the Pleated Blind Installation Types page; the places the series are fitted are shown under application areas, and the size-dependent range is given in the price calculator.
What Is a Pleated Blind?
A pleated blind is an interior blind in which a single layer of polyester fabric works by folding like an accordion. Its cordless build both keeps the look clean and is a safety advantage in homes with children. It is pushed from the handle and stays where it is left.
In this family, the difference is not the fabric — it is the mounting. Screwed for permanent, adhesive for no-drill, glazing-bead for inside the bead, and hook for glass balconies. The selection guide below ties your situation to the right mounting detail.
Selection Guide
Choosing the Mount by Situation
It is the situation, not the model, that decides. The mounting type the joinery allows leads to the relevant detail.
Mounting Types Compared
Drilling requirement, removal ease and glass-balcony suitability in one table. Touching the type in a row opens its mounting detail.
| Model | Drilling | Removal | Glass Balcony | Mounting Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Screw-Mounted Pleated Blind | Yes | Hard | Partial | The strongest bond. Permanent fitting |
| Adhesive Pleated Blind | No | Medium | On insulated glass | For tenants and undrillable surfaces |
| Glazing-Bead (Portray) Pleated Blind | No | Easy | Partial | Seats into the glazing bead. One with the window |
| Hook-Mounted Pleated Blind | No | Very easy | Full | Hangs on the folding glass leaf |
| Bracket-Mounted Pleated Blind | Yes | Medium | Partial | Frameless areas. Carried to wall or ceiling |
- Green. Advantageous — no drilling, easy removal, compatible
- Amber. Conditional — drilling required or partially applicable
- — does not apply in this scenario
Glass-balcony suitability is for folding glass systems; adhesive and glazing-bead options are also assessed on insulated-glass profiles.
