The Pleated blackout blind VidaXL 120x150 cm features a fabric width of 119.4 cm and is designed to reduce incoming light and ensure privacy in residential or commercial interiors. This pleated window covering installs on windows or doors and offers a compact, space-saving profile when raised. The blackout fabric helps darken rooms for sleeping, media viewing or concentrated work while the pleated construction provides an unobtrusive, modern look.
Advantages
The blind combines blackout performance with a pleated design that folds neatly when retracted, allowing for a low-profile appearance. Its near-full-width fabric provides effective light blocking across the opening, and the product is suitable for standard-sized window and door installations. The construction supports easy operation and maintenance, and the neutral finish integrates with a variety of interiors.
Suitable for
- Bedrooms where effective room darkening is needed for sleep.
- Living rooms and media rooms to reduce glare during screen use.
- Home offices and workspaces requiring controlled lighting for concentration.
- Doors and small-to-medium windows where a compact blind solution is preferred.
When it may not be suitable
This pleated blackout blind is intended for standard openings; it may not be suitable for extremely large windows or custom-shaped glazing that require bespoke sizes. If near-total light exclusion at the frame edges is critical, additional side channels or external mounting solutions may be necessary to minimise light gaps.

How to use
Measure the window or door opening carefully before installation to confirm compatibility with the stated fabric width and overall nominal size. Follow the included mounting instructions to attach the blind securely, choosing inside or surface mount as appropriate for your opening. Operate the pleated blind by raising or lowering it to the desired height; the pleats will fold compactly when raised and expand to present the blackout surface when lowered. Clean the fabric gently with a soft brush or a low-suction vacuum attachment and avoid soaking the material.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm precise window or door measurements to ensure the fabric width and nominal size match your opening.
- Decide whether inside mount or surface mount is required based on frame depth and surrounding trim.
- Consider whether additional sealing or side channels are needed to achieve near-total light exclusion.
- Check that the pleated blackout aesthetic and colour suit the room’s interior palette.
Usage recommendations
For optimal blackout performance, fit the blind slightly wider than the visible glass area or use mounting options that minimise gaps at the edges. Regular gentle cleaning will maintain the fabric’s appearance and light-blocking properties.
