Quick answer
Pleated blinds (plise) are the best solution for attic and roof windows because they sit directly against the glass and don't hang at an angle. The price is calculated per m², and atypical shapes carry a surcharge for the extra complexity. They're available with no-drill mounting and in a day/night version. The price includes precise template measuring, production and installation.
Why pleated for attics
On sloped and roof windows (Velux, Roto, Fakro) ordinary curtains hang at an angle and don't work. The pleated fabric is fixed between two slim rails, so it stays flat against the glass regardless of the tilt. Thanks to the slim profile it takes no space and doesn't shrink the room visually.
No-drill mounting
For PVC windows with glass in the frame we use spring-loaded brackets that fix onto the sash itself — no drilling into the frame. This is ideal for rented flats or when you don't want to alter the joinery. For wooden frames we use discreet brackets matched to the profile.
Day/night pleated
The double (day/night) pleated blind has two fabrics in one system:
- sheer — for soft daylight;
- blackout — for privacy and sleep.
Perfect for attic bedrooms where the sun hits directly in summer — the blackout side with a reflective layer reduces heat.
Atypical shapes
Pleated is one of the few solutions for non-standard openings:
- trapezoids and triangles (roof slopes);
- round and semicircular windows;
- pentagonal attic openings.
For these shapes we take a custom on-site template measurement for a precise fit.
Pleated blinds price
The price is calculated per m² and depends on:
- the fabric — standard, blackout or day/night (double fabric, a little more);
- the shape — atypical shapes (trapezoid, triangle) carry a surcharge for the template and the more complex build.
The minimum and surcharges depend on the specific window — you get an exact price after measuring.
Pleated insect screens
We also make the same pleated system as an insect screen — accordion mesh for wide terrace doors. More on the types and prices in the insect screens guide.
