Pleated Shades Benefits

Pleated shades combine the elegance andappeal of cellulars while being easy on your budget. Unlike cellulars that use multiple layers of fabric, pleated shades use a single, continuous fabric layer to block incoming and outgoing light.

Pleated shades are perfect for individuals looking for a single-layer shade with more definition and texture than a roller shade but without the slats of horizontal blinds. The fabric of pleated shades gives you flexibility in light and privacy control while the accordion folds occupy very little space at the top of the window.

The unique structure and versatility of pleated shades also allows for multiple control options. In fact, many pleated shades manufactures have created these window coverings with control options identical to those found on more expensive models.

While pleated shades do not have the same energy efficient properties as cellular blinds, they do have a similar visual appeal and are made to work in many of the same types of windows. The durable pleated shades are meant to be a beautiful and more affordable alternative to cellular blinds while still providing multiple options in light and privacy control.

Lighter colors and textures of sheer and semi-private pleated shades do allow some features to be visible from the outdoors. These colors and textures do, however, provide ideal ambiance for natural light and some of these pleated shades even come in softer textures like natural weaves and lace.

Darker colors and patterns always block more light and generally give any room a darker look. Pleated shades are no exception and come in a variety of weaves and colors that help block light and provide dark accents to rooms. For a variety of fabrics that are gentle on your budget, buy pleated shades!
