With a strong reputation for energy efficiency, the German influence ensures our blinds meet the highest standards.

Ideal for side blinds, roof blinds, and conservatories, pleated blinds offer an excellent solution. Some of our systems come pre-tensioned with guide wires on the sides, making them perfect for locations such as conservatory windows that require stability in windy conditions, preventing rattling or hitting against the glass.

Cosiflor® pleated blinds are compatible with various joinery types popular in New Zealand, including aluminium, timber, and PVC. Feel free to seek advice from our friendly team to find the perfect fit for your needs.

Families with young children can benefit from our cordless pleated blinds, ensuring maximum safety. We offer a wide range of child-safe options, and all corded pleated blinds come with supplied child safety devices.

UV Protection

Harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause fading and damage to your furniture, flooring, and artwork. Our pleated blinds are crafted with fabrics that offer excellent UV protection, safeguarding your valuable belongings from the sun’s harmful effects. This ensures that your interiors remain vibrant and beautiful for years to come.

Versatility and Functionality

Pleated blinds are highly versatile and can be customized to suit your unique needs. Whether you have large windows, small windows, or even uniquely shaped windows, these blinds can be tailored to fit perfectly. They are also available with various operating mechanisms, including cordless options for enhanced child safety and ease of use.

Suitable Areas for Pleated Blinds

Pleated blinds are suitable for a variety of rooms and areas in both residential and office settings. They work well in bedrooms, lounges, kitchens, children’s rooms, and conference rooms. Additionally, pleated blinds are particularly ideal for conservatories and areas where guide wires would provide added benefits.

Pleated Blind Operating Systems

VS System

This handle-operated, cordless system features tension feet or brackets at the top and bottom. With an easy-to-use rubber handle on the moving rail, you can effortlessly adjust the blinds. The VS system is child-safe with no loose cords and can be manufactured as a Day/Night blind, providing UV protection, night-time privacy, and insulation.

F System

The F system is a free-hanging pleated blinds system operated with a cord. The top rail remains fixed, while the blind can be controlled using a stylish pull cord, similar to venetian blinds. It can also be manufactured as a Day/Night blind, offering UV protection, night-time privacy, and insulation. Additionally, the F system Cosiflor® blinds can be automated for added convenience.

DF System

Specifically developed for skylight windows, the DF system is compatible with popular roof window brands such as Velux, Roto, Fakro, and Braas.

PL System

The PL system is ideal for roof windows and conservatories, addressing both excess heat during summer and heat loss in winter. This system provides sun protection and reduces heat loss, utilizing silicone-coated steel guide wires to prevent fabric sagging. The PL conservatory roof system can be automated and seamlessly integrated into a smart home system.

Cosiflor® Pleated Blinds – Fabrics

All our fabrics used are made of high-quality spun bonded polyester, viscose, or a combination of both. Fabrics with Perlex coating possess a reflective surface that allows sunlight to enter the room while reflecting approximately 60-70% of it in neutral and light colours. There is a wide range of fabrics available with Perlex coating.

Pleated fabrics come in Semi-Transparent, Dim Out, and Blackout options, catering to different needs. Cosiflor® pleated blinds offer a diverse selection of fabrics, providing approximately 60 options with variations in colours, textures, and technical characteristics.

OEKO-TEX standard 100

Our fabrics comply with the OEKO-TEX standard, ensuring the use of environmentally compatible technologies, chemicals, and dyes during production. This standard promotes sustainable and safe manufacturing practices. More information can be found at www.oekotex.com.

When Ordering Pleated Blinds

When selecting pleated blinds, it’s important to consider the following characteristics:

• Reflectance: Reflectance refers to the percentage of light and heat passing through the glass that is reflected to the outside by the fabric.
• Absorption: Absorption represents the percentage of heat absorbed by the fabric. Darker coloured fabrics tend to absorb more heat compared to lighter fabrics.
• Transmission: Transmission measures the percentage of light and heat that passes through the fabric and enters the room.

Easy Maintenance

We understand the importance of convenience in your busy lifestyle, which is why our pleated blinds are designed for easy maintenance. With their durable and dirt-resistant materials, a simple wipe or occasional gentle vacuuming is all it takes to keep them looking fresh and clean.

Our Cosiflor® pleated blinds can also be washed in a solution of warm water (up to 30 degrees Celsius) with a mild detergent. After rinsing, gently push the fabric into its stack and remove excess water. Hang the blind in a closed position and move it up and down several times to aid in drying. Please note that these instructions do not apply to metallised fabrics or coated blockout fabrics, which can be wiped with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid exposing the metal parts of automated and hand-operated blinds to water and detergent whenever possible.

At SunGuard, we take pride in delivering exceptional quality and style through our pleated blinds. With our extensive range of options, personalized service, and professional installation, we aim to exceed your expectations and provide you with the perfect window treatment solution.
