The Silent Gliss Success Formula

When the company was founded in 1952,

Silent Gliss presented the world’s very first

silent curtain track system. Further innovations

followed, like bendable tracks for corner

windows and the first electrically-operated

curtain systems. Silent Gliss owes its lasting

success to three core principles: innovation,

quality and service.

Put us to the Test

As a leading global supplier of high-end window

treatment systems, Silent Gliss sets new

benchmarks. That means that you can expect

much more from us.

From the outset, our experts will advise you

on the functional, aesthetic, acoustic, flame-

retardant and light-resistant aspects of your

project. Selecting the right system, solving

technical challenges, taking measurements

on your premises, fitting and maintenance

are all just part of the service provided by

Silent Gliss.

Elegance à la Carte

It‘s not just the Silent Gliss materials, crafts-

manship and lasting value that are top class;

it’s the presentation too.

Soundless motorised systems guarantee a

tranquil ambience, while the manual override

function prevents damage from manual opera-

tion. Products such as Vertical Waves or Wave XL

allow you to add those exclusive touches too.

Comfortable Care

An understated yet appealing solution that is

hygienic, helps create pleasant conditions and

offers fire protection – it’s the ideal combina-

tion.

Colorama Bioactive, an anti-bacterial material that

meets the most stringent demands, is the best

example example for such a solution. In addition

to flexible room divider systems, Silent Gliss also

offers solutions for waiting rooms, surgeries,

operating theatres, patients’ rooms and offices.

Space for Unimaginable Opportunities

System size and stability take on greater

importance in public places. Silent Gliss has the

leading technology for large-scale screening and

anti-glare systems, together with the necessary

experience.

As a result, materials are tested on all systems

to optimise their drape. Automation and electrical

operation provide a simple and reliable solution,

even for the most difficult places to access.

University Ca’ Foscari, Venice, Italy

Even in Venice, where architectural

highlights abound, the historical

palace of Ca’ Foscari is considered

a jewel. This presented the architect

with quite a challenge: how to

integrate a modern system providing

shade from the sun and covering the

huge windows, without spoiling the

appearance of the palace. He found

the ideal solution in the various

Silent Gliss roller blind systems.
