Panel Blinds

Panel Blinds
Panel blinds consist of a headrail featuring multiple running tracks which is typically secured to a ceiling or internal lintel. Wheeled travellers sit within the running tracks and carry fabric bars of varying lengths to which fabrics and other substrates can be attached. A panel blind is particularly well suited to cover larger areas of glass or divide a space up in to smaller spaces by acting as a room divider. The panels bunch to either side or can be bunched evenly to either side. Typically a wand or a corded system can operate a panel glide. Panel blinds that are fitted with control cords can feature appropriate child safety devises if requested.
 

Fabrics

A wide variety of fabrics and woven wood products can be fitted to the headrail systems used with panel glide blinds. Woven, knitted or non-woven fabrics may be used as the base cloths and specialist coatings are applied to endow the fabrics with performance features to suit a wide variety of applications. Such features can include finishes such as solar protective coatings, for improved solar and optical performance and glare control, and flame retardant coatings. Totally opaque fabrics are available in a variety of substrates to satisfy circumstances where this feature may be required including dim out and blockout capabilities. Screen or mesh fabrics can be used which apply a defined openness factor to allow some privacy and glare control whilst retaining a degree of view through for the operator during daylight hours.
