What Are Tensioned Pleated Blinds?
Tensioned pleated blinds are designed to sit close to the glass, supported by discreet cords running vertically down each side.
These cords are securely tensioned at the bottom, either to small fixing feet or a bottom bar, keeping the blind in place without the need for loose operating cords or chains.
Simply move the blind using a small handle, stopping it exactly where you want.
Ideal for windows and doors up to 1.5 metres wide.
