Guide to Selecting Panel Glides

Panel blinds are suitable for modern décor. They work to block out sunlight and can allow you to control the amount of sunlight you want. They are easy to control and a practical solution for sunny areas. They open from left, right or centre and can work for windows, doors or as a divider. Panel blinds are available in different styles, textures and colours that allow you to select one by preference and budget.

Panel blinds have a clean and modern look, allowing them to blend well with both traditional and modern décors. They offer a minimalist design with all the qualities of normal blinds. Panel blinds are made using fabric, allowing you a range of options to choose from. Before purchasing panel blinds, there are a few factors you should consider, including how much light you want to block out as it would guide your decision. Choosing the right type of blind can influence the aesthetic appeal of your rooms. 

Other decisions to consider

Control type

Panel blinds are manufactured with different control types, including hand cord or wand. The control mechanism can be situated on the left or right side of your blinds depending on what you prefer for your windows. An advantage of panel blinds is that they are safe for children and can be used in a child's room.

Climate

If your windows are exposed to extreme sunlight, then it is worth considering panel blinds. Australia is known for its long summers, and protection against sunlight is a concern for many. Some windows in your homes may let in a lot of sunlight as well as retain heat. Panel blinds will block out the sunlight and ensure the room is cool and dark during the intense summer heat.

Light control

If you have the need for a dark room, such as for your bedroom or a personal theatre, then consider panel blinds. It might be a dark room, but you can control the amount of light to filter in. Panel blinds can decorate a window area while still allowing you to filter light. Choosing a panel glide with the right fabric can also provide an additional barrier against weather elements. Panel blinds are available in block, light-filter and sunscreen textures, allowing you to choose one depending on the type of light filtering you are looking for. Shades of colour such as grey and white will keep a room cool.

Harold's Home and Garden Advice

Hello! I'm Harold, and I am a very keen gardener and home DIY enthusiast. I started this blog as a result of a conversation I had with a friend. We were chatting with each other about the latest jobs we were planning to complete. I was giving my friend some tips when he suggested that I write a series of articles so I could pass on my wisdom to others. I learnt all about home and garden DIY from a local contractor who used to complete work for me. Eventually, I realised I knew enough to carry out the work myself.
