What it brings to a room
For every window, to its own measure
A plicell blind, also called a pleated blind, is a fine fabric folded like an accordion that moves up and down between two slim rails. As it can be fitted onto the window sash itself, it moves with the sash when the window opens and closes. It is one of the most flexible answers for narrow windows and windows of unusual sizes.

Details and FAQs
Honeycomb and warmth
In a honeycomb plicell blind the fabric is double, and air is trapped in the cells between the layers. That layer of air reduces the heat lost to the glass in winter and the sun's heat pouring in during summer. Fabrics range from light-filtering to blackout, so the same window can give both privacy and light.
Top down, bottom up
A plicell blind works both ways: you can raise the fabric from the bottom, or lower it from the top to cover only the lower part of the window. Daylight then comes in above while the view from the street is kept below. It is often chosen for PVC and aluminium frames, bay windows, winter gardens and bathroom windows.
Measuring, fitting and guarantee
A plicell blind is measured to the millimetre against the glass or the sash, so we take the measurements in your room ourselves. It is made to your size, orders are ready within 3–8 working days, and our own team fits it. Like every product we make, our plicell blinds carry a 3-year guarantee.

Frequently asked questions
Will a plicell blind stop me opening the window?
No. Fitted onto the sash, a plicell blind moves with it when the window opens or tilts. You do not need to close the window to raise or lower the blind.
Do you have to drill into the window frame?
On sash-mounted systems the fixing is usually made to the frame of the sash. So as not to damage your frames, we decide the most suitable way of fixing when we measure, after looking at your window.
How do I clean a plicell blind?
Dusting the fabric with a soft brush, or a vacuum cleaner on low suction, is enough. For marks, dab with a slightly damp cloth; do not rub the fabric, and take care not to crush its pleats.
Does a honeycomb plicell blind really insulate?
The cells of the honeycomb form a layer of air between the glass and the room. It does not take the place of a good window, but it helps to reduce the cold coming off the glass in winter and the sun's heat in summer.
