Sloped Pleated Blind

The form working parallel to the glass on the sloped plane with guide cords. The answer for attics and angled glazing.

The Blind That Holds the Plane

On sloped glass an ordinary blind slides downward. The fabric leaves the plane under its own weight and the folding order breaks. The sloped form solves this problem with guide cords.

Taut cords passing through the fabric’s two edges lock it to the glass plane. The spring tensioning mechanism then holds the blind at the position it is released. Whatever the slope, the fabric neither escapes upward nor slides down.

Sloped-Glass Scenarios

Three scenarios where the sloped form is a must.

Attic Window

A glass-following blind on frames seated in the sloped roof plane.

Sloped Winter Garden

Unbroken cover on an angled glass surface turning from wall to roof.

Angled Architectural Glass

Form-fitting operation on façades outside the rectangular plane.

Measurement and Mounting

The glass plane’s angle and net measurement are taken on site
The rail is fixed parallel to the joinery plane
Guide-cord tension is calibrated during mounting
If reach is hard, an extension rod or motor is considered

Tension Adjustment

Tension is set by fabric weight and slope angle
Too little tension: the fabric sags. Too much: movement stiffens
Adjustment is done at mounting; none is needed afterwards

Questions About the Sloped Pleated Blind

Why doesn’t the blind slide on sloped glass?

Guide cords hold the fabric taut from both edges. The spring tensioning system locks the blind at the chosen position. As the slope grows, tension adjustment gains importance.

Which slope angles can it be made for?

It works with the guide layout from light slopes to near-vertical surfaces. The exact angle and plane condition are measured on site.

Does it open in both directions?

Yes. On a sloped surface, bottom-up or top-down positioning is possible with the guide system. The fabric stays on the plane in either direction.

How is cleaning done?

Without loosening the guide cords, the fabric surface is wiped in place with a soft brush. Antistatic fabric does not hold dust.

This page is the system’s mechanism, configuration and mounting; which blind type is right on a sloped window is compared in the application decision guide. The attic and transom glass where the sloped rail works is detailed in the attic application; the fully horizontal plane is solved on the ceiling system.

Let’s Measure the Slope Together

Once the slope degree and opening measurement are given, a guide-profile recommendation is prepared.
