FENETRE Systems — Insect Screen and Pleated Blind Systems

Vertical Pleated Blind

The form with vertically running pleats that gathers to the side. The blind answer for wide façades and passage axes.

Operating Principle

The whole opening in three steps. Rail, fabric, bunch.

  1. 01

    The Rail Is Installed

    The top and bottom rails are fixed to the two edges of the opening. The carrier bar seats inside the rail.

  2. 02

    The Fabric Opens

    When the carrier bar is drawn, the vertically pleated fabric builds a straight blind surface along the rail.

  3. 03

    It Bunches to the Side

    Pushed back, the fabric folds like an accordion and stands as a slim bundle at the edge.

Gathering Directions

Which side the fabric bunches to is defined by the façade layout.

Vertical pleated blind gathering directions and their use
DirectionOperationIdeal Use
Single DirectionThe fabric gathers to the right or the leftFaçades with free space beside the wall
Double DirectionTwo panels meet in the middleSymmetrical look, very wide openings
Free StanceThe bar holds at the position wantedPartial shade. Part of the glass stays clear

Wide-Opening Scenarios

Three situations where the vertical form makes a difference.

Sliding Doors

It works in the same direction as the passage axis. As the door opens the blind slides aside too.

Wide Glass Façades

A single fabric cover over a floor-to-ceiling glass surface, with no vertical division.

Room Divider

A flexible boundary between two spaces. A bunch when open, a wall when closed.

Questions About the Vertical Pleated Blind

Is the vertical pleated blind a different product from the vertical slat blind?
Yes. The slat system is made of rotating strips. The vertical pleated is a system where a single pleated fabric gathers to the side. Its look is softer and its maintenance easier.
How wide can it be made?
It is designed for wide openings. Very wide façades are met with the double-direction mode. The exact limit is chosen in the project according to measurement and fabric selection.
How much room does the gathered bunch take?
When folded to the side the fabric builds a slim bunch and covers a small part of the opening. The bunch width varies with the fabric type.
Can it be used as a room divider?
Yes. It mounts inside a wall opening or to the ceiling. In the closed position it separates two spaces visually; when open the passage is free.

The sliding-door and façade types where the vertical form mounts are listed in the application areas; its horizontally gathering counterpart is compared on the horizontal model.

Quote with Vertical Measurements

Once the façade width and passage direction are relayed, the gathering layout and rail option are recommended.
