Pleated Blinds benefits
There’s a lot to love about our pleated blinds, particularly if you are into saving energy and adding more insulation to your home and office. Pleated blinds we offer are made using the fabrics and components from one of the best manufacturers in the world – Cosiflor (Germany). As we all know, Germans are really good when it comes to saving energy (you might’ve heard about passive houses, that are currently taking off here in NZ as well – this is a German concept).
Pleated blinds are a perfect solution for customers who are looking for an energy efficient window treatment solution.
Pleated blinds are especially great for a solution for side blinds, roof blinds and conservatory blinds. As some of the systems are pre-tensioned and have guide wires on the sides – these blinds are a perfect solution for conservatory windows or any locations that require the blinds to be tensioned – this prevents the blinds from rattling in the wind and hitting the window.
Cosiflor pleated blinds suit any joinery you can find in Auckland – Aluminium, Timber and even PVC – just ask our friendly team for advice!
Pleated shades are also perfect for families with little kids – we make a wide range of cordless pleated blinds that are completely child safe. All pleated blinds with cords have child safety devices supplied.
Cosiflor pleated blinds have extremely durable quality components that ensure prolonged lifespan of our pleated sunshades.
