Panel blinds is the hottest craze of blinds that has dwarfed even the popularity of vertical blinds. Its influence can be traced to Far East countries – most notably Japan – as they are often used as elegant dividers for large rooms. Because of this, they are quite frequently referred to as Japanese blinds.
At first glance, they are somewhat similar to vertical blinds in that they are made up of vertical slats and they are work the same way. That is where the comparison ends. Panel blinds are made up of large pieces of fabric that are attached to a slim head rail for easy installation and removal. The flat panels are wider than the average vertical blind panels and these overlapping panels can slide and glide on an easy track system. The blinds are operated using a control wand that can effortlessly open and close the panels as desired. When open, the fabric panels are stacked one behind the other in one side of the window in a well-ordered way that leaves only that portion of the window covered. If fully closed, it is like you have created a new solid wall of fabric that can completely shut off a section of a room.
Panel blinds are extremely well-liked and admired for its versatility and flexibility of purpose. It can serve as coverings for large areas of glass like wide windows, French doors, sliding doors and sun lounge doors. But one of its most popular functions is being that of a room divider where you can enclose a part of a room you want to separate from the rest of the area. For example, you can use it to split a dorm room or separate the dining area from your living area but still have the flexibility to open up the whole room into a spacious one for functions or certain occasions.
The price range is a bit expensive than the vertical blinds, and here is where the comparison is not that fair. But the materials of panel blinds are way better than vinyl - which the average blinds are most commonly made up of. The choice of colors and fabrics ranges from translucent, sunscreen to block-out fabrics to suit your interior décor and privacy needs. You can go with bright vivid colors of green, blue and even red or opaque fabrics that can create a soothing and peaceful aura.
Vertical blinds will still be a popular choice. But to get the most sophistication and elegance, panel blinds are the best bet to any homeowner!
