Pleated blinds with double layer of fabric
Double pleated blinds, also known as dupli and duette blinds, consist of two layers of pleated fabric. Between the two layers of fabric, small pockets are formed in beehive shapes that hide strings and string holes, so that the appearance is quite simple. This beehive structure filters the light in a comfortable way, so it is a gentle incidence of light that penetrates the pleat. This means that you still have the opportunity to have your living room lit, even if the pleat has been pulled down.

Double layer of fabric – double up on colors
Double pleated blinds allow you to combine two different textile fabrics into one curtain. For example, you can choose that all pleated blinds should have the same colour on the outside, so it looks the same on the outside, but on the inside, each room has its own unique colour. In this way, you create wholeness and individuality at the same time.

Manual operating systems
You can get your pleated blinds with regular drawstring or chain pull, where you manually raise and lower the blind. Furthermore, you can, for example, choose the loopcord® solution, where the cord always has the same length, regardless the blind is pulled up or down. You can also choose the smartcord® solution, which with its pump function easily raises and lowers the blind via the pull cord, which, like the loopcord®, always has the same cord length.

The simple solution
If you are looking for a simple expression, you can choose cordless® as the operating method, as it is completely without cord or chain pull. Here you adjust the pleated blind with a handle on the baseboard or via an attached metal handle.
Then you can operate your pleated blinds with the up / down function, where you have the option of shielding the window right where you need it. For example, you can get sun into the top of the window, while the middle and bottom of the window are shielded, as you adjust on the top or bottom list as needed. This solution is also known as free parking, as you park the curtain as you wish.
