Pleated blackout blind VidaXL 120x200 cm (fabric width 119.4 cm) — window shade

The Pleated blackout blind VidaXL 120x200 cm (fabric width 119.4 cm) is a window shade designed to block incoming light and improve thermal insulation. The pleated structure and blackout material reduce glare, increase privacy and help maintain room temperature. The blind can be fitted inside or outside the window frame depending on mounting preference and available space.

Advantages

This pleated blackout blind combines full light blockage with a compact profile. The pleated fabric folds neatly when raised to minimize visual obstruction, while the blackout layer prevents most daylight from passing through. The construction also contributes to thermal insulation, which can reduce heat loss in colder months and limit heat gain during warmer periods. The neutral design suits bedrooms, living rooms and office interiors where controlled lighting and privacy are required.

Suitable for

• Bedrooms where full darkness is desired for sleeping or napping
• Living rooms and media rooms to reduce screen glare
• Offices needing controlled daylight and privacy
• Windows where an inside or outside mount is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This pleated blackout blind is designed for standard window openings; it may not be suitable for windows with irregular shapes, very small reveal depths, or where a fully frameless glass-to-glass installation is required. If precise light-tight sealing at the edges is critical, additional side channels or a bespoke solution may be needed.

Key specifications

• Overall size: 120 x 200 cm
• Fabric width: 119.4 cm
• Fabric type: pleated blackout material
• Light control: full blackout performance
• Mounting: inside or outside window frame
• Applications: residential and commercial interiors

How to use

Measure the window opening carefully before installation and choose inside or outside mounting according to the available reveal depth. Fit the mounting brackets to a clean, level surface and attach the pleated blind following the supplied instructions. Operate the blind by pulling the bottom rail or using the control mechanism provided to raise or lower the pleats to the desired height. Regularly clean the fabric with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner on a low setting to remove dust and preserve blackout performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm window measurements, especially fabric width and overall height
• Decide on inside or outside mount based on reveal depth and desired coverage
• Check whether additional side channels or sealing are required for complete light-tight performance
• Ensure compatibility of mounting surface and fasteners with your window frame material

Usage recommendations

For optimal blackout and insulation performance install the blind as close to the glass as possible and inspect seals at the edges. Clean gently and avoid harsh chemicals; periodic dusting will keep the pleats functioning smoothly.
