Intu Pleated Blinds – Bead Fit, Screw Fit & Micro Options
🏠 Intu Pleated Blinds
Intu Pleated Blinds are a smart, no-screw solution for doors and windows — ideal if you’re looking for a blind that fits neatly against the glass without cluttering your frames.
They’re fitted using a tensioned system that holds the blind in place using discreet side cords, with no loose chains or control wands. The result is a sleek, integrated finish that works particularly well on French doors, tilt-and-turn windows, and even some bifold setups.
You can choose from a range of single pleat solar reflective fabrics (to help keep your room cool) or cellular pleated fabrics (for better insulation and warmth). And because there are multiple profile types available — including Bead Fit, Screw Fit, and Micro — we’ll help match the right system to your specific frames.
Intu Pleated Blinds – At a Glance
🟢 Bead Fit System
Clips under the rubber beading of your window or door for a clean, no-screw installation.
🟢 Screw Fit System
More secure than standard Bead Fit — ideal for larger windows and doors.
🟢 Intu Micro
A slimline version designed for tight spaces or bifold doors where blinds must sit closer to the glass.
🟢 Pleated Fabric Types
Choose between solar reflective single pleat or thermal cellular (honeycomb) fabric for insulation or heat control.
🟢 Tensioned Operation
Cord-free control — raise and lower with no loose chains. Great for safety and appearance.
🟢 Pets or Young Children?
Consider Perfect Fit Pleated Blinds as an alternative — they offer more protection for the cords.

🔹 Intu Bead Fit System
The Intu Bead Fit system is the most popular option for Intu Pleated Blinds. It’s designed to clip neatly into the rubber seals (beading) around your window or door — with no need for screws.
This means the blind sits close to the glass with a tidy, low-profile finish. It moves with the door or window, and because it’s tensioned, it stays in place at any height — with no dangling cords.
✅ Why Choose Bead Fit?
- No-screw installation – Clips securely under the beading
- Clean appearance – Sits close to the glass, with discreet side cords
- Great for standard doors and windows – French doors, tilt-and-turn, or casement windows
- Easy to use and safe by design – No chains or pull cords
- Multiple profile options – We carry all four Intu bead fit profiles to ensure the best fit for your frames
When we measure, we use specialist tools to identify which Intu profile you need — ensuring the right clearances and frame alignment, so the blind fits and functions perfectly.
🔹 Intu Screw Fit System
The Intu Screw Fit system is designed for larger or heavier pleated blinds where extra support is needed. While it looks very similar to the Bead Fit system from the outside, the key difference is that the top rail is secured to the frame using discreet screws, rather than just clipping into the beading.
The blind still uses side cords and a tensioned system to stay in place — there are no chains or hanging cords — but this setup offers a more robust fitting for wider doors, taller windows, or more active doorways where the blind needs to stay firmly in place.
✅ Why Choose Screw Fit?
- Added strength and security – Ideal for larger blinds or heavier fabrics
- Sits close to the glass – Just like Bead Fit, with a neat finish
- Perfect for high-traffic areas – Like back doors or patio access
- Still tensioned, still cordless – Raises and lowers smoothly with no chains
- Professionally measured and installed – We check your frame depth, bead shape, and fitting requirements on site
If you’re fitting pleated blinds to a wider opening or want a bit more peace of mind in terms of durability, Screw Fit is a great choice.
🔹 Intu Micro System
The Intu Micro system is a slimline version of Intu designed for situations where space is tight — particularly on bifold doors or modern aluminium frames with limited clearance.
Micro blinds sit closer to the glass and have a shallower profile than standard Bead Fit or Screw Fit blinds. This makes them ideal for doors where traditional rails might touch when closed, or where you simply want the slimmest, most discreet finish possible.
✅ Why Choose Intu Micro?
- Slimline profile – Designed for frames with reduced clearance
- Great for bifold doors – Where standard systems might clash
- No screwing required – Clips into place with tensioned cords
- Low-profile, modern look – Works especially well with narrow aluminium frames
- We’ll measure to advise – Including whether clearance and width fall within Micro limits
While it’s a brilliant solution for the right setup, Intu Micro does come with tighter size limits — so we’ll always check that it’s a suitable option during your home visit.
🌞 Solar Reflective Pleated Fabrics
Solar reflective pleated blinds are designed to help keep your room cooler and more comfortable, especially in south-facing spaces or rooms with a lot of glass.
These fabrics have a coated backing that reflects a portion of the sun’s heat — helping to reduce glare and slow down the build-up of heat in your space. That makes them perfect for kitchens, conservatories, and garden rooms where managing the sun is just as important as privacy.
✅ Key Benefits
- Reflects sunlight and heat – Helps reduce glare and overheating
- Improves comfort – Especially on bright, sunny days
- Available in neutral tones – Matches a wide range of interior styles
- Compatible with all Intu systems – Bead Fit, Screw Fit and Micro
❄️ Insulating Cellular Pleated Fabrics
If warmth and energy efficiency are your priority, cellular pleated blinds offer an excellent solution. These fabrics have a honeycomb-shaped design that traps air inside — helping to keep warm air in during the winter and make your space feel cosier.
They’re particularly effective in bedrooms, north-facing rooms, or any area that loses heat through large windows or doors.
✅ Key Benefits
- Excellent thermal insulation – Helps retain warmth in winter
- Soft, structured finish – Looks great and performs well
- Ideal for glass-heavy spaces – Especially bifold doors and full-height windows
- Available in dim-out and room darkening options – For extra comfort and privacy
🔄 Multi-Zone Operation
As an optional upgrade, Intu Pleated Blinds can be supplied with multi-zone control. This means you can move the pleated section to sit at the top, middle, or bottom of the window — allowing you to block just the area you want, without closing off the entire window.
This is perfect for reducing glare, improving privacy, or cutting a beam of sunlight when the angle is just right — without darkening the whole room.
✅ Why Choose Multi-Zone?
- Greater light control – Adjust the blind’s position, not just its height
- Maintain natural light – While blocking out direct glare
- Excellent for street-facing rooms or offices – Where you want light but need privacy
- Fully tensioned and cord-free – Same safety and clean look as standard Intu blinds
🚪 Intu Pleated Blinds for Bifold Doors
Bifold doors can be a beautiful addition to a room — but they also present a challenge when it comes to blinds. You want something that fits neatly, doesn’t get in the way when the doors fold, and keeps your space comfortable throughout the day.
That’s exactly what Intu Pleated Blinds are designed for. The Intu Micro system in particular is ideal for narrow aluminium frames or minimal gaps between door panels — giving you a smart, secure fit that won’t clash or rub when the doors are opened.
You can choose from a range of solar reflective or insulating cellular fabrics, and everything is fitted with cord-free tensioning, so it’s safe and smooth to operate.
✅ Perfect For:
- Slim-profile aluminium bifold frames
- Rooms where doors open inwards and space is tight
- Controlling glare in open-plan kitchen/living spaces
- Keeping the look minimalist and unobtrusive
- Maintaining a clear path through your bifold doors
🌿 Intu Pleated Blinds for Conservatories
Conservatories are bright, airy spaces — but they can quickly become too hot in summer or too cold in winter. Intu Pleated Blinds are a popular choice because they sit neatly within the frame, keeping the clean lines of the windows while giving you the heat control and privacy you need.
They’re also cordless and easy to operate, making them a great option for conservatories that are used frequently throughout the day.
You can choose solar reflective fabrics to reduce heat and glare, or cellular blinds to help retain warmth in the cooler months.
✅ Perfect For:
- Keeping conservatories cooler in summer
- Helping retain warmth in the winter
- Fitting neatly into uPVC frames without screwing
- Adding flexible privacy without covering your windows
- Matching colours to suit your décor
