BLIND TYPES

  • Plain Panel Glides – plain fabric panels (no extrusion or battens attached)
  • Sewless Panel Glide, gives the same look as a Roman blind using aluminium back battens
  • Plantation Panel Glide are fabric panels with timber battens on the front and back of each panel to create a feature

OVERVIEW

Panel Glide blinds provide an ideal solution for covering large windows and sliding doors, and can also be used as a room divider. The panels are designed to overlap to minimise light penetration, making it a good option for rooms that require less light.

PANEL GLIDE SPECIFICATIONS

SETTLING OUT

Only Sewless style panels will be subject to settling/stretching process over a period of time.
Note : The settling process could vary the drop by at least 10mm.
The factory makes no allowance for this process please consider this when measuring for Panel Glides using the Sewless option.

FABRIC APPEARANCE

The sewless style of panels will sometimes show very slight puckering of fabric. This is unavoidable due to the tension placed on the fabric from the splining (tucking) process.

STANDARD TOLERANCE

Please note that our standard tolerance for blind width and blind drop is +- 5mm. If the blind is made within our tolerance range, no claim will be accepted.

FABRIC PATTERNS

For a patterned fabric, the pattern grain won’t usually line up perfectly with the horizontal or vertical edge of the blind. Except to see a variation from one side to the other.

OVERALL MEASUREMENTS

It will be assumed that all the provided sizes will be subject to factory deduction. (unless otherwise specified on the order)

CUPPING

Panel glides with blockout fabrics will usually show some cupping on each of the vertical edges. Cupping of up to a few millimeters will be considered within acceptable allowance (+/-15mm).

GENERAL MAINTENANCE 

Most Panel Glides simply regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment.

STAIN REMOVAL

To remove, sponge blind clean with a damp cloth. Use diluted washing liquid in warm water & avoid rubbing the stain. Do not immerse blinds in water.
