True to their name, pleated shades are constructed of a single layer of pleated fabric. Although they resemble cellular shades, their single layer construction makes them a simpler window covering. Light diffusion as well as a mild degree of privacy are the strong suit of pleated shades, but stylistically they tend to be a complementary layer rather than a focal element.

The Blinds Connection offers a full range of pleat sizes, colors, and fabric grades. Our products also offer a variety of control/lift options which can bring an added dimension of functionality not attainable with other blinds.

Why do people like pleated shades?

Like cellular shades, pleated shades also afford a cost effective solution for both focal and non-focal rooms and offer privacy without sacrificing incoming light altogether. Upgraded fabric options can also provide a stylish look without an opulent increase in expense.  Finally, pleated shades are a nice, simple window covering alternative for people who don’t like the look of cellular shades, but want a similarly styled fabric window covering.

What brands of pleated shades are available?

As a Hunter Douglas Priority Dealer the Blinds Connection sells and installs Jubilance pleated shades in addition to offerings from Comfortex and Kirsch.
