Panel Glide Blinds – Sleek, Simple & Made for Wide Openings

Panel Glide Blinds offer a clean, modern solution for large windows, sliding doors, or open-plan spaces. Their wide fabric panels move smoothly along a track, creating a streamlined look that suits any interior style.

Unlike traditional blinds or curtains, panel glides stack neatly to one side when open. This allows for maximum natural light and uninterrupted views. When closed, they provide excellent privacy and effective light control.

You can choose from blockout, light-filtering, or sunscreen fabrics to match your needs. A wide range of colours, textures, and patterns ensures they complement both modern and classic spaces. Their simple operation makes them easy to use every day—plus, they’re cordless and child-safe.

Because panel glide blinds are low-maintenance and durable, they’re ideal for busy homes and commercial settings. They’re also perfect for homes in Cairns, Townsville, and across North Queensland, where harsh sun and large windows are common.

At Shadeview, every blind is custom-made to fit your space. We handle everything from in-home consultation to expert installation, so you get the perfect result with no fuss.
