Pleated blinds

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Pleateds or Pleated Blinds are pleated fabric shades that pull up to sit flat at the top of a window to hide from sight (thus "blinding" the viewer) or to reduce sunlight, and therefore heat, when desired.

Honeycomb pleated blinds, or cellular pleated blinds, which are similar to pleated blinds except that there are two or more layers joined at the pleats to form compartments that trap air, providing insulation. Due to their cellular construction, cellular pleated blinds (aka energy saver) are known to the energy conscious. For greater insulation, cellular pleated blinds also come in double and triple cell styles. The more cells, the greater energy efficiency. One disadvantage with these cellular pleated blinds is that small insects crawl into the hollow chambers and die. Removing them is not easy.

All of the above can also be motorised and, because of this, domotized.
