LET IT SLIDE
Hillarys launches panel blinds
The new sliding panel blind from Hillarys is the perfect contemporary solution for floor to ceiling windows and patio doors. It's also the ideal way to create distinct lifestyle zones within open-plan areas, for example dividing an office from a living space or a kitchen from a dining room.
"Sliding panels originated in Japan more than 500 years as a way to partition rooms but they've now become a contemporary way to maximise light and retain privacy at large windows or sliding doors," says Sarah Quilliam, head of product design for Hillarys.
"As open plan living becomes increasingly popular, sliding panels are a great way to create zones within that space," she adds. "We're also seeing a requirement for a contemporary window dressing that suits the type of large windows often found in loft apartments and today's new builds. Sliding panels give great light control, privacy and a really modern feel."
The panels come in three different widths - 30cm, 45cm and 60cm - and glide on a track operated by either a sidewinder chain or a wand. Each panel cleverly picks up the next when opening and closing. They can stack to the left or the right, or split in the middle to stack either side, like a pair of curtains.
A weight is added into the fabric bottom pocket so that they hang beautifully. The system is available in a wide range of different fabrics, to suit any style or taste from a vivid orange to
contemporary charcoal, suede, a basket weave effect, aqua and a trendy seventies style print.
Sliding panels start at £400 for a patio door sized panel, measured, made and fitted. Call 0800 916 6516 for more information.
