Pleated Shades come in two different styles. The EvenPleat® Pleated Shade feature a back-ladder support guaranteed to keep pleats evenly spaced and prevent sagging, while FashionPleat® Pleated Shades feature the same great pleated style without the back-ladder design for a more economical alternative. Both styles are available in sheer, light-filtering and room-darkening fabrics for more privacy and light control. Pleated Shades block the sun’s heat, reducing solar heat gain in the summer and help reduce energy costs.
