Blinds

Panel blinds for wide openings.

Clean sliding fabric panels for large windows and doors.

Practical guide

Panel blinds for large glass and clean sliding coverage.

Panel blinds use wide fabric panels that glide on a track. They are designed for large windows, sliding doors and open-plan spaces where you want the coverage of a blind with a cleaner, more contemporary look than narrow vertical blades.

Panel movement

How do panel blinds work?

Each wide panel slides along a track and overlaps the next panel. You can draw the panels across for privacy, stack them to one side for access or partly cover the glass to manage glare.

  • Wide panels create a calmer look than narrow vertical blades.
  • Panels overlap to improve coverage across large glass.
  • Track layout controls stack depth and how much glass remains clear.
  • A wand or control system can be placed for the main traffic path.

Door planning

Are panel blinds good for sliding doors?

Yes. Panel blinds suit sliding and stacker doors because they move sideways and can stack away from the opening. The panel count and stack side need to be planned around the door direction and available wall space.

  • Stack left, right or split depending on the opening.
  • Panel width is chosen to balance coverage, stack size and appearance.
  • Track projection is checked against handles, returns and furniture.
  • Floor clearance matters so panels hang straight without dragging.

Fabric options

Which fabric should panel blinds use?

Panel blinds can use fabrics selected for daytime glare, soft filtered light or stronger privacy. Because the panels are large, colour and texture have a big impact on the room.

  • Sunscreen fabrics help with glare while keeping some daytime view.
  • Translucent fabrics soften light without making the room fully dark.
  • Blockout fabrics give stronger privacy for bedrooms and media rooms.
  • Fabric choice should be checked in the home against natural light.

FAQ

Common questions.

What are panel blinds?

Panel blinds are wide fabric panels that slide along a track and overlap each other to cover large glass areas.

Are panel blinds suitable for sliding doors?

Yes. They are designed for wide openings and sliding doors because they move sideways and can stack clear of the doorway.

Do panel blinds give privacy?

Yes, fabric choice and panel overlap can provide privacy. Sunscreen fabrics are better for daytime glare, while blockout fabrics give stronger night privacy.

Are panel blinds different from vertical blinds?

Yes. Vertical blinds use many narrow blades that rotate. Panel blinds use fewer, wider fabric panels that slide for a more contemporary look.

How much room do panel blinds need to stack?

It depends on panel width, panel count and track layout. The stack space is checked during measure so the panels do not block more of the opening than expected.
