Sliding Panel Systems
Sliding Panel Systems epitomise aesthetic and individual window and room decoration. Inspired by the east - colours, patterns, fabrics from sheers to opaque - anything is possible.
Fabric effects are stunning but Silent Gliss has even more to offer: the unique Panel Fold combines the beauty of panels with a striking 3D effect when folded.
Alternatively, the Panel Glide system uses flat panels to elegantly shade the room or provide a creative solution to a room divider.
Exceptional elegance is the main characteristic of these window decorations. Whether the intention is a pure design statement, a decorative and efficient shading measure or both. Silent Gliss offers a made to measure solution on highest quality and design levels.
A wide range of fabrics is available from the Silent Gliss collections for both domestic or commercial environments.
Why choose Sliding Panel Systems?
- A unique dimension to window treatments, perfect for today's extensive glazed areas.
- Choose between flat and folding panels (Panel Glide and Panel Fold).
- Use plain or strikingly designed fabrics, the flat panels show designs at their best.
- The simple, clean architectural look of a sliding panel can also be made warm and inviting by the choice of fabrics.
- Panels are easy and economical to remove and replace.
- Since the systems look as attractive from the back as from the front, they can be used also as visual room dividers, (ceiling fixing recommended).
- Superb as a floor to ceiling window treatment. Suitable for domestic and contract applications.
The Range
Sliding panels are available as 2 distinct systems. Straight runs only. White top profile is standard although other colours may be supplied to special order.
Panel Glide - The fabric remains flat and panels stack behind each other to permit visibility outside. The system is individually built up from a selection of 2, 3, 4 and 5 channel profiles, depending on your requirements. Normally one channel is required for each panel on single stack systems, one channel for two panels on pair stack systems. Each panel picks up the next at the end of travel to fully open or close all of the panels. A 15cm overlap is usually allowed to prevent panels snagging.
Panel Fold - As its name implies, the panels fold neatly in half to permit visibility outside, leaving a unique shadow fold down the centre.
Operating Methods
Panel Glide - Select from hand operated (panels unconnected), hand operated (panels connected), cord or electric operation - fixed switch or remote control.
Panel Fold - Available as a chain or electrically operated system. Fabrics attach to bonded Velcro aluminium carriers running on nylon gliders in the aluminium channels. Maintenance free.
