Spring Signals A Change Of Window Dressing

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Spring Signals Change Of Window Dressing With Silent GlissOnce spring is on its way, we can’t wait to open the windows and let in the fresh air; and as well as the usual spring cleaning it is a perfect time to change your window dressing.

Put away the heavy drapes for winter and take full advantage of the sunny days to come with a lighter, brighter window treatment.

The Silent Gliss Panel Glide system is ideal; its versatile design means that the panels can easily be removed for cleaning, changed for the seasons, or replaced to co-ordinate, if you change the décor of the room.

Its channelled profile fixes discreetly to the ceiling, suspending fabric from Velcro carriers; so all you have to do is detach one set and attach another.

A vast array of fabrics and materials can be used with the system as Silent Gliss offers many textiles in various textures, colours and patterns.

Choose between flat and folding panels (Panel Glide and Panel Fold); the Panel Glide system can be controlled manually by hand or cord, or operated electrically.

Since the systems look as attractive from the back as from the front, they can also be used as visual room dividers, (ceiling fixing recommended).

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Silent Gliss Launch A New System 5090 AutoglideFollowing many years of proven success in the domestic electric curtain track market with Autoglide, Silent Gliss has launched their new System 5090, which offers all the expected benefits of the old systems.

Ease of Use: Simple opening and closing of curtains by either a wall switch or remote control handset; whatever the reason, physical restrictions or just a touch of luxury, the ability to operate curtains electronically at an affordable price level, is what has made Autoglide so successful.

Security and Peace of Mind: When away from home, the curtains can be left to open and close without the need for human intervention, either by using the light sensor, which operates with the rising and setting of the sun, or by using the pre-programmable timer unit, - an excellent deterrent to intruders!

The new Silent Gliss 5090 offers three important new customer benefits:

1. The new Autoglide can now be bent for bay window or other curved applications to a minimum radius of 250mm, with a maximum of either two bends or one continuous curve.

2. Can be used with the successful contemporary Wave® Curtain Heading System, having been designed to accommodate the unique Wave glider-cord.

3. There are now four purchasing options, to give maximum customer choice:

  • 5090: fixed wall switch.
    5090IR: with remote control.
    5090TL: with timer unit and light sensor.
    5090TC: with remote control timer unit and light sensor.

Silent Gliss Metropole Are Poles Apart From The Rest

Friday, July 11th, 2008

Silent Gliss Metropole Are Poles Apart From The Rest Silent Gliss present their new look range of the popular Metropole Decorative Curtain Poles, which challenge the assumption that curtain tracks cannot be decorative.

By combining the appearance of a decorative curtain pole, with the superior functionality of its curtain tracks, Silent Gliss enabled windows to have a designer appearance, complete with a smooth gliding operation.

To ensure continued support for this range of designer curtain tracks, major changes have been made to the Metropole offer:

There are four new ranges:

Strata, featured here - Offers the opportunity to design the look of your own curtain pole in three easy steps:

Step 1: Choose between hand and cord operated.
Step 2: Choose the base colour to match the pole finish (or maybe a contrasting colour?).
Step 3: Choose the colour of the glass insert disc, (emerald green, black, salmon, clear and clear ribbed).
The end result is an individually designed curtain pole!

Crystal - Clear crystal glass is combined with coloured centres in black, brown or emerald green in a modern square shape - the end effect is stunning clarity and colour.

Vega – Combines modern geometric shapes with a sharp design engraved out of the base metal; they are produced in a dark brown base, shaped as a cylinder or cube, ideal for contemporary room designs.

Coral - Fluted glass with coloured centres in red, black, cream or clear; the metal base of the finial is matched to the pole finish, resulting in a classical and elegant look.

Wave Curtain Tracks and Poles from Silent Gliss

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

Curtains using the Silent Gliss Wave Curtain Tracks

Silent Gliss have introduced Wave - a curtain heading system which allows curtains to hang in an attractive continuous wave.

Wave curtains hang in the wave shape from the moment they are dressed, and the effect is maintained whether the curtains are open or closed.

How does Wave work? The curtain tracks contain a specially designed glider-cord which limits the extension of the curtain fabric, and creates the distinctive wave effect. When the curtains are open, the Wave curtain tracks ensure they stack back neatly and straight.

Wave is available with Silent Gliss Metropole Decorative Curtain Poles, as well as their 3840 hand or cord operated curtain tracks, and the 5100 electrically operated curtain track.
