Abstract

A wall covering system including a pleated material, and the method of producing and installing the plated material. The pleated material includes a plurality of permanently fixed pleats extending in substantially parallel vertical relation to each other. Each pleat includes first and second pleat panels having first ends fixed by a securing line and opposing second ends defining an apex. The apex extends outwardly away from the wall as each pleat converges toward a center line extending between upper and lower portions of each pleat. The method of producing the pleated material includes passing a planar material successively through a pleating die and a securing device to initially form a plurality of pleats simultaneously and thereafter secure the plurality of pleats simultaneously.
