Special features:
Pleated blinds are a compact, modern yet simple window shading solution. Such roller blinds protect against the sun and are an excellent alternative to Roman blinds. Their main advantage is comfort and versatility of use. Pleated blinds are fitted to rectangular, trapezoidal and semicircular windows. They are also suitable for inaccessible roof windows and glazing. They are used in any architectural style.
The construction of pleated curtains consists of fabric fixed between two profiles by means of tensioning cords. When moving, the fabric folds into horizontal folds. This process resembles playing an accordion. Actually, the word “pleated” (French: plissé) means to fold something into folds. Light passing through the folds takes on a warm, soft hue. Thanks to their compact design, pleated blinds take up less space than other types of sun shades. After installation the blind blends in with the frame and is not noticeable. Pleated blinds are also suitable for mounting on balcony or loggia doors.
Exterior roller blinds provide excellent sun protection and are also used as intrusion prevention systems. External roller blinds, as the name suggests, are mounted on the outside of the windows. Such models consist of interconnected slats, which together form a protective armor. The roller blinds are inserted into guides located on two sides of the window and rolled up into a cassette located at the top
External roller blinds provide excellent protection against rain, hail, snow and gusts of wind. They also provide thermal insulation – they can reduce heat loss in a room by up to 20%. What is more, most of the roller shutter systems are certified according to burglary resistance classes. Roller shutters can be connected to a security and alarm system, which will increase the effectiveness of burglar protection.
