Crisp, Architectural Texture
The neatly stacked folds of pleated shades bring depth and definition to your windows. Unlike flat fabric options, pleated shades maintain a structured look whether open or closed—perfect for adding visual interest to minimalist or transitional interiors.

Pleated shades filter sunlight gently, helping to soften harsh afternoon rays without darkening your space. Choose from light-filtering or room-darkening fabrics to suit your lifestyle, all while complementing the scenic brightness of Colorado living.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pleated Shades
Curious about pleated shades for your Sheridan home? Here are some commonly asked questions to guide your decision—answered by our window covering experts:
Are pleated shades a good choice for energy efficiency?
Pleated shades provide moderate insulation, especially when paired with room-darkening or reflective liners. While not as insulating as cellular shades, they do help reduce heat and glare, making them a smart option for sunny Colorado homes.
Can pleated shades be made for unusually shaped windows?
Yes. Pleated shades are highly customizable and can be tailored to fit arches, angles, or narrow sidelights—ideal for the architectural variety found in many Denver South homes.
How do pleated shades differ from cellular shades?
Are pleated shades difficult to clean?
Not at all. Most pleated shades can be maintained with light dusting or a low-suction vacuum. Many fabrics are also treated to resist static and stains, which makes them a low-maintenance choice.
Can pleated shades be motorized?
Yes. Pleated shades can be upgraded with motorization for smooth, remote-controlled operation. This is a great option for hard-to-reach windows or for adding modern convenience to your space.
