Introducing Manual Pleated Under Blinds: A Smart New Addition to Our Summer Shading Range
As outdoor living continues to grow in popularity across the UK, effective shading has become an essential component in creating comfortable, functional spaces all year round. That’s why we’re excited to announce the latest addition to our range of solar control products at Milwood Group – our brand-new Manual Pleated Under Blinds.
Perfectly timed for summer installations, this discreet and stylish system has been expertly designed to suit all Milwood veranda, canopy, carport, and glass room systems. Whether you’re fitting out a garden retreat or a bustling commercial terrace, these blinds offer a quick, easy and retrofittable solution for enhanced comfort and solar protection.
Designed for Simplicity – Engineered for Performance
The Manual Pleated Under Blinds system has been developed to deliver optimal performance without compromising on the visual aesthetic of your structure. Installed neatly between the roof bars, the pleated design creates a clean, minimal finish that blends seamlessly with existing installations.
Key features include:
- Custom-fit for each roof panel: ensuring perfect compatibility with all systems up to 4m projection
- Manual extension rod operation: providing smooth, user-friendly control without the need for electrics
- Mounting clips: allowing for quick and hassle-free installation
- Durable pleated fabric: engineered for long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance
We’ve carried out extensive internal testing to ensure optimal function and reliability, and we’ve equipped each blind with a tension adjustment system for precision alignment during fitting.
Note: The installation process for Simplicity 6 and Simplicity 16 differs slightly due to roof bar design. A dedicated install guide and support video are available in the Trade Partner Area to support fitting for these models.
Benefits for Installers and End Users Alike
The Manual Pleated Under Blinds system offers clear benefits that make it a valuable addition to any outdoor living installation:
- Glare & heat reduction: minimises direct sunlight and lowers temperature for year-round comfort
- Simple retrofitting: ideal for upgrading existing installations without disruption
- Discreet design: fits flush within glazing bars, maintaining a professional finish
- Low-maintenance operation: manually controlled using an extension rod
- Quick turnaround: available in standard colours with straightforward guidance
This makes them perfect not only for new installations but also for homeowners or businesses looking to improve their current veranda, canopy, carport, or glass room space without significant structural changes.
