Stylish interior blinds that suit every living style. Pleated blinds are available in a single pleated version or as a double pleated blind, also known as cellular blinds. They are often purchased because of the dual role they can play: They are available in a range of materiels offering differnt light filtering and thermal properties They have clean, contemporary look that can complement any decor or interior style.
Cellular blinds offer excellent sun and thermal protection that blends seamlessly into different living styles. For example, choose a pleated blind in a white or soft gray shade with a modern interior or decorate the bay window of your classically styled house with pleated blinds in a soft beige shade that filters the sunlight nicely. You resist the sun and improve your privacy in a stylish way. Pleated blinds are often seen as the perfect middle ground between the roman blind with its rural or rustic appearance and the roller blind with its sleek appearance.
With electric pleated blinds you are in charge: you will always outsmart the sun, whether it bothers you because of the light or because of the heat. You can easily and quickly place our electric blinds into your favorite position, without the need for muscle power.

Another unique feature of pleated blinds from Powered Blinds is the honeycomb, celluar structure. The pleats consist of two layers, which are attached in such a way that they form a honeycomb pattern together. Each comb thus forms a thermal barrier between the window and the room. In practice, that means that cellular blinds help to keep your house cool in summer and warm in winter. For areas where climate control is important, a honeycomb pleated blind is therefore very suitable. For example, think of the bathroom: if you come out of the shower in winter, you prefer not to feel the cold radiating from the windows. A cellular blind is then the perfect window covering that keeps out the cold and does not allow glances inside.
Each electric pleated blind with Somfy motor can be operated in different ways. For example, choose:
