Panel glide blinds are a versatile and elegant shading option for large windows, bi fold doors or sliding doors. They have a more contemporary appeal than curtains, and are essentially a modern version of vertical blinds with very wide panels. The main similarity panel glide blinds have to curtains and vertical blinds is that they slide across tracks fitted above sliding doors or larger windows, and stack together either against the wall or within the window/door cavity. When they stack against the wall alongside the door or window cavity, panel glide blinds allow full access to the door opening and a completely unobscured view of the outdoors, allowing plenty of natural light into the home.

The wide panels are a feature of the panel blinds’ stylish design, which means they are better suited to rooms of generous proportions with wide sliding doorways or supersized windows. If you don’t have a room, doors or windows that have large proportions, you may find panel glide blinds potentially dominating in a smaller room.

When choosing the fabric for your panel glide blinds remember that their sheer size means they have the potential to make a strong statement in the room, so choose your colours and designs with this in mind.

Panel glide blinds can be an effective blind to use as a room divider. Perhaps you have a large bedroom or family with a study nook, a European laundry or even a children’s bedroom where siblings need defined spaces. Versatile panel glides are a fantastic and stylish room divider, opening up or closing off spaces in any room of the house.

If you’re after a fresh and modern look for your room, then our range of panel glide blinds could be just what you’re looking for when covering sliding or bi fold doors and larger windows.

As a decorating tool the wide panels are a great way of introducing strong lines to your modern space but if you want an unobtrusive look ensure that your chosen fabric colour matches the room’s paint palette so that the blinds can blend into the décor somewhat.

Like vertical blinds, panel glide blinds offer both complete and partial privacy, light and temperature control. When fully open they have subtle, understated elegance and when fully closed they can be a strong or subtle feature depending on your choice of fabric. The blinds work very well with glass sliding doors as the wide panels can be opened quickly and easily to allow access in and out of the room.

Our range of panel glide blinds can work in most spaces but the bigger than average-sized panels makes them a particularly good choice for covering larger windows. While they can work extremely well in virtually any room, there is no doubt that they can appear more striking in open space environments. The blinds themselves are made from flat, wide panels of fabric and are very simple to use. Using a wand control, they cleverly slide across and stack behind each other to take up as little room as possible when open and allow the maximum amount of natural light through your windows.

All window coverings should be cleaned in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines. If you opt for panel glide blinds in your family home with young children, you may find you need to clean them more often than other types of blinds, simply because young children will love hiding behind them! Marks or grubby fingerprints can simply be sponged off but always check the cleaning instructions first.
