If you’re looking for a window treatment that brings both elegance and practicality to your home, sliding panel blinds might be the perfect fit. At Matheo Blinds and Awnings, we see many homeowners struggling to find the right balance between letting natural light flood their space and ensuring privacy isn’t compromised. Sliding panel blinds offer that delicate mix, making them one of the most versatile options to use for larger windows and patio doors.
Sliding panel blinds are specifically designed for larger windows or sliding doors, but they also make a bold statement in any room. The blinds consist of large fabric or bamboo panels that glide effortlessly along a track system, making them an ideal solution for expansive glass surfaces or spaces demanding an extra layer of privacy.
When fully opened, sliding blinds allow the panels to stack neatly behind one another, allowing maximum light to flow into your room. This is fantastic if you want to brighten up your living room during the day or create an open, airy vibe. When you need a bit more privacy, you can easily slide the panels into place to cover the entire window or door, giving you the control to reduce glare or block out the outside world whenever you want to.
Depending on the fabric you select when designing your custom panel blinds as window treatments, you can filter light differently and match the level of privacy you prefer for each room.
You can choose from three main types of fabrics:
By mixing different fabric types on separate panels, you can create a truly custom solution that meets your lifestyle needs.
Big sliding doors often leave homeowners perplexed about which window covering solutions offer functionality without sacrificing style. That’s where panel blinds for sliding doors come in. These blinds are specifically designed for wide expanses like sliding doors or large windows, where traditional options like Venetian or Roman blinds may not be as impactful or functional.
But the great thing about internal panel blinds for sliding doors isn’t just their functionality, they also offer a sleek, minimalist look that can modernise any room. Choose between neutral colours for a subtle application or go bold with textured or coloured fabrics to create a statement window feature.
Here are a few questions you might be asking as you consider whether sliding panel blinds are the right choice:

If you are thinking about updating your kitchen or outdoor space, there’s one option that ticks all the boxes: roller blinds. Roller blinds have become incredibly popular for homeowners looking for both style and functionality – they filter light, keep your space private, and add that extra finishing touch. And the best part? They don’t just work wonders inside – they’re a fantastic choice for outdoor areas, too.
Here is why roller blinds are an ideal solution for both kitchens and outdoor spaces.
The kitchen is often the heart of the home. It’s where meals, laughter, and maybe even the odd midnight snack happen. So, when choosing window coverings for this space, you need something that looks good and works hard – and roller blinds fit the bill.
Kitchen window roller blinds bring in beautiful, natural light during the day while still offering privacy when you need it. Made from easy-to-clean materials, they are built to withstand the daily wear and tear of a kitchen environment. Stains and splashes? Simply wipe them clean!
One of the best features of roller blinds is their customisability. For added versatility, consider pairing a sheer roller blind for daytime light filtering with a block-out roller blind for added privacy at night. This combination is especially useful for kitchens that get plenty of sunlight but require a cosy, private atmosphere in the evening. With a wide range of fabrics, colours, and textures, you have complete control over how your kitchen looks and feels.
Our clients especially love our Screen Roller Blinds. These blinds come in easy-to-clean fabrics and offer you flexibility when choosing colours, textures, and patterns for your kitchen décor, whether you have a sleek, modern kitchen or a cosier, more traditional aesthetic. It’s your kitchen, so why not make the interior uniquely your own?
Outdoor roller blinds are a game changer for anyone who wants to get a little more out of their outdoor spaces. These blinds make your patio, veranda, or balcony so much more comfortable by protecting you from harsh sunlight and adding some privacy from the neighbours.
Outdoor blinds, especially block-out roller blinds, can help regulate temperature, keeping your home cooler during the warmer months. This makes them an excellent option if your windows or outdoor areas get a lot of direct sun. You also get the option of side guide channels to help lock the fabric in place, which is ideal for windier days. Motorisation is also available for an added splash of luxury (and convenience). That means adjusting your outdoor blinds with just the push of a button.
When looking at different roller blind brands, Taylor Blinds stands out because their durable and weather-resistant options promise longevity when used outdoors. Their lockscreen outdoor roller blinds are engineered to lock fabric in place, reducing light penetration and protecting against wind, making them perfect for patios, balconies, or sliding doors. Taylor Blind’s offerings can also be motorised for added convenience, and side channels or cable guides can be included for even more stability.
