Panel Glide Blinds
Wide fabric panels that glide aside - clean, architectural cover for big glass.
Panel glides (also called panel blinds or panel track blinds) run large flat fabric panels along a discreet multi-channel headrail. Where vertical blinds read as many narrow blades, panel glides read as clean, uninterrupted fabric - the modern, minimal way to dress wide windows, sliding and stacker doors, or to divide an open-plan space. Push them aside and the panels stack neatly behind one another, clearing almost the whole opening for the view and the walkway. Every set is custom made in Melbourne to your exact opening - panel count, widths, fabric and stacking direction all planned around how you use the room.

Common questions
- What is the difference between panel glide and vertical blinds?
- Both cover wide openings, but panel glides use a few large flat fabric panels while verticals use many narrow tilting blades. Panel glides look cleaner and more architectural and never rattle; verticals give finer light control because the blades tilt. If you mostly slide your covering fully open or fully closed, panel glides are usually the nicer choice.
- Can panel glides cover a sliding or stacker door?
- Yes - they are one of the best options for sliding and stacker doors. We plan the stacking direction around the way your door opens, so the panels bunch on the fixed side and never block the walkway.
- Do panel glide blinds come in blockout fabrics?
- Yes. Panels come in full blockout for bedrooms and media rooms, light-filtering weaves for living areas, and sunscreen mesh that keeps your view while cutting glare and UV. You can also alternate fabrics across channels - for example sunscreen panels behind blockout panels.
- Can panel glides divide a room?
- Yes - a ceiling-fixed panel glide makes an elegant room divider for open-plan spaces, studies and multi-use rooms. The panels slide away completely when you want the space open again.
