The window is rather small, does not have the usual standard dimensions, is also located on the sloping roof of a room, and allows it to heat up properly thanks to the intense sunlight. And you’re already faced with a problem: how and, above all, what is the best way to darken such a small window? Is it even possible to find a roller blind, blind, or something similar for these unusual dimensions?
The answer is: Yes, there really is and it’s not that difficult to find privacy and sun protection even for the most improbable outside dimensions of a window. Pleated blinds have proven to be ideal partners for such purposes in particular. They are easy to use, come in a wide variety of shapes and colors, and are just as easy to attach and replace.
The right pleated blind for every window
Pleated blinds have proven particularly useful for windows that are on sloping ceilings. Thanks to their lightness, the simple attachment, and finally also because they can be wonderfully integrated into any room in terms of color, they are the masters of the pleated blinds. The incidence of light, as well as the indirect sun protection, can be controlled and varied as you wish. The different settings of the slats allow a view of the outside, but they are still completely airtight for a view of the inside from the outside. Pleated blinds are therefore very popular, especially in bathrooms and guest toilets.
But the most common use is on unusual window positions, such as on sloping ceilings. The fit of a pleated blind can be precisely tailored and there is also plenty of scopes when choosing the color and size of the individual slats. Even the respective material and the respective operation of the pleated blind can be very different. You can also use them to protect and cool your home from the heat in summer.
Pleats can also be found on doors
The fact that pleated blinds are extremely versatile is shown by pleated blinds that are attached to front doors, for example. With simple operation, such pleated blinds can be easily attached to doors and finally operated. Pleated blinds that can be pushed from bottom to top and vice versa are particularly popular. These special folding blinds are usually made of very light and yet extremely durable material.
The folding technique allows them to be pushed together and pulled apart very easily, similar to an accordion. If you now choose a pleated blind in a light yellow tone for the kitchen door, for example, the incident daylight and, above all, the sunlight is intensified, but without too much solar radiation being able to heat the room. The room looks friendly, and bright and is filled with a summery atmosphere, and is still completely opaque.
Pleated blinds for children’s rooms and bedrooms
Precisely because pleated blinds are so easy to use, they are used in children’s rooms just as often as in bedrooms. Pleated blinds made of metal are suitable for children’s rooms, so they can be easily cleaned at any time. A bold hue blocks too much sun exposure, but is still a nice and fresh splash of color to the room.
The flexibility of the height adjustment allows them to be quickly pulled down when the child goes to bed and during the day at half-height only let in as much sunlight as is necessary for playing and romping. Pleated blinds are the ideal partners in bedrooms. They allow sunlight to come in conditionally and at will, are opaque, and still allow a view outside. With open windows, they always allow sufficient air circulation thanks to their fine slats, even if they are completely closed. In addition, note tips for properly cleaning windows without streaks.
