Thermal Thermashade blinds with Abigail Ahern glamour

Thermashade Pleated blinds offer superior thermal properties thanks for the honeycomb cell structure that traps the heat creating an insulating layer at your windows. In this living room, we chose Thermashade blinds in a Top-down, Bottom-up style, meaning they are fully adjustable to suit your changing light and privacy needs during the day and evening. Raise them from the bottom, lower them from the top or adjust them from both directions at once. Blackout curtains from our Abigail Ahern collection complete the look with an extra layer of cosiness. Featuring a diamond repeat pattern, sumptuous fabric, and head-turning looks, these Harkness Gasoline curtains embody typical Abigail luxury and dark glamour while helping keep draughts at bay.

ThermaShade™ Teal Texture

Sarah Twigge-Doyle's Perfect Fit Pleated blinds

“Our technician Alan was extremely helpful, for example suggesting the idea of hanging the blinds in the café style, giving us privacy, yet still allowing directional light in from the top. With a relatively small dormer window that is essential.”

ThermaShade™ Blackout Soft Beige

Ultimate light and privacy control

Not only do our made-to-measure Pleated blinds come in a wide range of stunning patterned and plain fabrics, they also offer practical benefits to help keep your space more comfortable whatever the weather. Choose performance fabrics including Thermal options to reduce your heat loss through your windows, or SolarPleat™ fabrics which have a sun-reflective backing to help reflect the sun’s rays.

Perfect for privacy

This cafe-style Pleated blind in Camo White will solve the majority of privacy issues, since you can adjust the top and bottom to suit your needs during the day.

ThermaShade™ Blue

Sarah Twigge-Doyle's Perfect Fit Pleated blinds

“Coming into the colder months, we have noticed a definite improvement particularly at night. We try to avoid having the heating on in our bedrooms so having blinds which offer increased insulations at our windows is a huge advantage. I now make a point of closing the blinds each evening to ensure the room is nice and cosy at bedtime.”

ThermaShade™ Blackout Soft Beige

Choose exactly where your blinds will sit

Top-Down Bottom-Up Pleated blinds offer so much flexibility; lower them from the top or raise them from the bottom so that they sit wherever you like in your window.

ThermaShade™ Turquoise

Pleated blinds help retain the heat and offer superior light and privacy control

Floor to ceiling glazing and roof lights are a key trend in home extensions, and of course, conservatories. But while looking great, it can be difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature in these rooms all year round. Our Pleated blinds made with ThermaShade technology have been designed with heat saving properties in mind. The innovative honeycomb fabric traps a layer of air, forming a layer of insulation, which helps regulate temperatures all year round, cooling down the room in summer and keeping it warm in winter.

"Triple-layered window dressing for superior heat control

A triple-layered window dressing provides superb snugness at this box window. Closest to the window, snug-fitting, made-to-measure Thermashade Pleated blinds, with superior thermal properties, trap in the heat keeping the room and a comfortable temperature. Next, Cley Mole Roman blinds in a black textured material add softness to the window and add an extra layer of insulation and cosiness. Optional fringing on the base allows you to personalise the blind according to your tastes. Finally, bold and dramatic Harkness Gasoline curtains from our Abigail Ahern collection help to keep draughts at bay.

Buy once, buy well and you’ll save in the long run
