Re: Sliding Panel System

Hi Karen,

I use a company called Rol-lite for all my ready made venetian, rollers etc. They do sliding panels too - have never used them though. However I would imagine they would have a sample to show potential agents like yourself. Why not give them a ring and ask if you could have the number for the rep in your area and have a chat to them about it? Let me know if you need the office phone number!

Re: Sliding Panel System

Both Silent Gliss and Evans do these. Evans only provide for up to 5 panels, but Silent Gliss will do more - though much more expensive.

I am quoting for a six panel at moment - this is a first for me also.

I see that Jone & Co Nottingham also supply these but unfortunately their £25 carraige to Highlan Region, no matter how cheap they are will have priced them out of my range, but if u r further south they may be worh a look

Re: Sliding Panel System

Sliding panels are great and work well, I think in more contemporary settings. They operate more smoothly if the panels are joined together - some systems allow this with connecting screws, so only the first panel needs to be pulled and the others follow along.
Two things to watch out for - the stackback of course, which is the width of a panel, and the depth of the tracking system - the more channels there are, the wider the track. But otherwise I think they are easy to specify. The panels are straightforward to make.
The Silent Gliss system is excellent, but it is expensive.
Regards

Re: Sliding Panel System

I saw a sliding panel up the other day, it did look stunning. It was being used as a front of a wardrobe rather than a window treatment. Worked well.

Re: Sliding Panel System

I will be fitting the Silent Gliss system 2500 panel system for a customer soon so I will post feedback.

Client opted for four panels 15cm overlap and panels are joined will be operated by drawrod. Silent Gliss have a new website with video of some of the systems in operation. The folding panel system is something else. Yes pricey but its a top of the range system.
