The Bifold Clickfit Duoshade Pleated Blind is a pleated blind from Blinds 2go, sold under the Duoshade model name within the Bifold Clickfit system for UPVC windows. It comes in 51 colours, starting from £27.68, and distinguishes itself from the majority of pleated ranges by its palette - earthy greens, warm spice tones, and soft botanical neutrals rather than the usual grey-on-grey options.
Who it suits
Blinds 2go use the Duoshade name to indicate a fabric with a mid-level light-filtering performance - designed to reduce glare and provide daytime privacy without delivering full blackout. That makes this range a reasonable choice for living rooms, dining rooms, and home offices where afternoon sun is the problem rather than the need for a dark room. The blind will soften incoming light and give a degree of privacy from outside without making the room feel closed off during the day.
It is not a suitable choice if blackout performance is the priority. No single-layer pleated fabric in a standard light-filtering weight will block light reliably enough for a bedroom where early mornings are an issue. Confirm the fabric's exact opacity rating with Blinds 2go if that matters to you.
The Bifold Clickfit system is designed for UPVC windows. The fitting clips into the window's rubber gasket without requiring drilling, which makes it a practical option for renters or anyone with UPVC frames who would rather not put holes in the profile. It will not work on timber or aluminium frames in the same way, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
Pleated blinds stack compactly when raised, which is worth bearing in mind if your recess is shallow or if the window needs to be fully clear when the blind is up. Conservatories with UPVC glazing bars and bay windows in modern construction are natural fits for the Clickfit system.
The colours
51 colours available
The nine colours divide into three groups. The greens - Olive and Forest - are the most botanical, with Forest being the deeper, cooler of the two. The warm tones - Pumpkin Spice, Nutmeg, and Toffee - run from a burnt orange through to a soft brown, well suited to rooms with natural wood or terracotta elements. Mink is a warm taupe that sits between the earthy and neutral camps. Navy provides a cooler contrast point. Turtle Dove is a pale, slightly grey tone, and Pistachio is the softest of the greens - more of a sage than a vivid mint.
This is a palette with a clear aesthetic leaning. It will complement rooms that favour natural materials, muted tones, or a warm Scandi approach. It does not suit a room that is going for a very cool or clinical feel, nor one where a pure white or grey blind would be the tidiest choice. All colours appear to carry the same from-price.

At £27.68, this is in the lower-middle part of the made-to-measure pleated blind market - above the most basic voile pleated options but well short of cellular blind pricing. Final cost scales with width and drop; measure your recess accurately before ordering.
How it compares
Against plain grey or white pleated ranges, the Duoshade's main point of difference is the palette. If the earthy and botanical tones match your room, that distinction has real value. If colour is secondary and performance is the priority, consider whether a cellular (honeycomb) pleated blind might serve better - cellular construction offers meaningful thermal insulation that a single-layer pleated fabric does not. For blackout requirements, a roller blind with a rated blackout fabric remains the straightforward recommendation over any light-filtering pleated option.
