This type of blind is a little different from a cellular shade although they look very similar. The main difference is you cannot choose the pleat size.

The new head rail is slimmer and less obtrusive than ever before. All of the components are color-coordinated, and the wall brackets are invisible for a streamlined, uncluttered look.

Choosing the style of your choice is easily done with the great variety of new fabrics to pick from including faux marble, paper, antique satin and lace along with a variety of styles, colors, textures and designs for every personal taste.

There are many styled options that also offer excellent privacy and light control such as sun-blocking and room-darkening features. You have the choice of selecting no backing shades that are designed to let the light in or blackout backing which is a vinyl backing that lets no light in.

Making this shade a great choice for baby's rooms, home theaters or day sleepers.

These shades stack compactly above window for maximum view and the pleats are usually one inch. They are also completely hidden under curtains when you fully raise them for a clean look.

Another great feature that comes with the pleated shade is the easiness of raising and lowering them simply by moving the shade with your hand and no cords are needed. Built-in tension spring makes moving the shade easy and no cords means this is an ideal choice for homes with young children.

Prices range from very affordable to expensively custom made depending on your budget and need, however there is always excellent sales and competitive prices when shopping for your pleated window coverings.

Pleated blinds offer tremendous versatility and style along with unlimited decorating possibilities.
