Bifold Clickfit is Blinds 2go's pleated blind range, made to measure across 60 colours and starting from £17.50. The pleated, concertina fabric fits within the frame and, as the name suggests, is designed to clip onto bifold doors and similar glazing, moving with the door rather than hanging loose. It is offered in both standard and voile fabrics, so the range covers everyday light filtering and a lighter, more translucent finish.
Who it suits
Pleated blinds fold flat into a slim concertina and sit neatly against the glass, which makes them a natural fit for bifold doors, conservatory windows and roof glazing where a hanging blind would get in the way. The Clickfit mounting holds the blind close to each pane so it travels with the door as it folds, keeping the glass dressed without trailing fabric. The range suits conservatories and garden rooms in particular, where slim, frame-mounted blinds are easier to live with than full-drop alternatives.
Pleated fabric is a light-filtering covering rather than a blackout one. The standard fabrics soften and diffuse daylight while keeping privacy; the voile options are more sheer again, letting more light through. If you need a fully darkened room - a bedroom, say - this range is not the tool for that, and a blackout roller or a blackout-rated pleated blind would suit better. The strength of a frame-fit pleated blind is instead the way it dresses each pane neatly and folds back into a slim stack, keeping a run of bifold doors uncluttered when the blinds are raised.
The colours
60 colours available
The palette is firmly grey-led: greys make up nearly half the range, spanning soft tones such as Misty Grey, Dove Grey and Silver Grey through to deeper Graphite, Charcoal and Anthracite. Whites and creams form the next largest groups - Pure White, Ice White, Buttermilk and similar - with smaller runs of green, brown, blue, orange and black for contrast. Several shades appear within named fabric lines such as Duoluxe, Supreme and Premier, which vary the weave as well as the colour. With so many close neutrals to choose between, ordering samples is the reliable way to settle on the right grey or white; subtle differences between shades are hard to judge on a screen.

The figures above are calculated from your exact width and drop, and for door-mounted blinds the per-pane sizing matters as much as the overall opening. Pleated blinds sit in the mid range for made-to-measure pricing, above a basic roller but in line with other specialist conservatory and bifold solutions. The standard and voile fabrics fall within the same range, so the choice between them is about light and look rather than a large price step. Where a bifold door has several matching panes, the cost reflects fitting a blind to each one, so it is worth measuring the full set before settling on a fabric.
How it compares
Against a roller blind, a Bifold Clickfit pleated blind sits flush to the glass and moves with a folding door, where a roller would hang in the way and could not easily dress each pane. Against a cellular (honeycomb) blind, this single-layer pleated fabric is slimmer and lighter, while a cellular blind would trap an extra layer of air for more insulation in a cold conservatory. Within the range, the standard fabrics give more privacy and the voiles give a softer, brighter, more translucent finish.
A note on care
Pleated blinds need gentle handling to keep their crisp folds. Dust them lightly with a soft brush or a vacuum on low suction along the pleats, and spot-clean marks carefully rather than rubbing hard, which can flatten the concertina. Take particular care with the voile fabrics, which are finer, and avoid soaking any pleated fabric, as heavy moisture can relax the folds.
