Silent Gliss discusses its options when working with large expanses of glass, an increasingly regular occurance in modern architecture

More and more we are seeing larger windows, with floor-to-ceiling glazing now common in many new developments.

Contrary to common opinion, there are many different stylish solutions to dressing big windows. From traditional to contemporary – the bigger the better.

Large expanses of glass are great for flat or folding panels of fabric. Left to glide across the window, or to stack neatly back they are versatile with a real ‘wow’ factor.
Mix up the fabrics if you want, or change them with the seasons, it really is that easy for customers.

If they prefer curtains then they can take a more contemporary approach and use the Silent Gliss Wave or Wave XL system.

The curtain hangs in a continuous soft wave – simple but stunning. Even venetian blinds can look really eye catching when done on a large scale.

They offer great light and glare control, and nowadays come in a great array materials and finishes. Silent Gliss offer wood and metal systems in traditional and modern colours.
Finally, let’s not dismiss vertical blinds. No longer just famous for adorning office windows or those houses of people considered more ‘senior’.

The introduction of the Silent Gliss vertical wave threw out old opinions of vertical blinds and revolutionised the way this window treatment can look. Designed by Swedish designer Eva Marmbrandt, vertical wave is available in three different designs giving a startling 3D effect.
