What Are Panel
Glides?
Panel glides are a modern window covering made up of large, flat fabric panels that slide smoothly along a track system. Unlike traditional vertical blinds with narrow individual blades, panel glides use wider panels (typically 250mm–450mm) that stack neatly to one or both sides when open.
They are the ideal solution for sliding doors, bi-fold door openings, large windows and wide expanses of glass. Panel glides offer a clean, contemporary look that suits modern Australian homes — far more refined than vertical blinds with a minimalist, architectural feel.
Available in an extensive range of fabrics including blockout, sunscreen, translucent and textured weaves, panel glides can be customised to suit any room and interior style. Every set we supply is made to measure for a precise, tailored fit.

Common Questions
01 How do panel glides compare to vertical blinds?
Panel glides use wider fabric panels (typically 250mm–450mm) that slide on a track, whereas vertical blinds use narrow individual blades that rotate. Panel glides offer a cleaner, more contemporary look with fewer gaps and less noise in the breeze. They are generally preferred for modern interiors and wider openings.
02 What is the maximum width for panel glides?
Panel glides can cover very wide openings — typically up to 6 metres or more depending on the track system and number of panels. This makes them ideal for large sliding doors, bi-fold door openings and feature windows. We will measure your space and recommend the optimal panel configuration.
03 Can panel glides be used as room dividers?
Yes, panel glides are an excellent room divider solution. They can be ceiling-mounted on a track to separate open-plan living and dining areas, create a home office partition, or conceal storage and utility spaces. They are lightweight, easy to operate and look great from both sides.
04 What fabric options are available for panel glides?
We offer a comprehensive range of fabrics including blockout (complete light block), sunscreen (UV filtering while maintaining views), translucent (soft light filtering) and decorative natural weaves. Fabrics come in hundreds of colours and textures to suit any interior style.
05 Can panel glides be motorised?
Absolutely. Motorised panel glides are a popular upgrade, especially for wide or hard-to-reach openings. Options include remote control, wall-mounted switches and smart home integration (compatible with most home automation systems). Motorisation adds convenience and is ideal for modern living.
