Pleated Shades
SWFcontract Pleated Window Shades are a winning solution for your commercial window coverings project. We offer a wide range of pleated window shades in a variety of materials. Fabric pleated shades add a degree of texture to the windows of your commercial project while managing solar energy and daylighting as needed.
Why Pleated Window Shades? Softer aesthetic with comparable energy controls
Fabric pleated shades offer a textured aesthetic look while still delivering high standards of energy control and daylight management. Pleated window shades will:
- Add a dimension of texture to a room
- Offer options for cordless lift system and motorized technology
- Weigh less than cellular shades
Your end-users want solutions that save them money and energy. With SWFcontract, you’ll be the one who provides them.
