New Products from Silent Gliss available from end of January 2010

Pole Design will shortly be listing some great new products from Silent Gliss soon.  The 30mm corded Metropole and the 30mm hand operated Metropole 6130 will be available in a cream finish.

The 50mm 6140 Metropole will also be available as a 50mm corded curtain pole the Metropole 6160 with more finial options including the Strata finial which comes with a choice of four colours of inserted central discs or a clear  or ribbed disc. So great for a really personalised look.

The Silent Gliss Wave Heading System can be combined with some new accessories that really improve the efficiency of your Wave Curtains

• A Carrier for the Silent Gliss Draw Rods which means you don't have to try to squeeze your draw rod into an existing glider (Part 6366).

• An adjustable brake that can be combined  with the Draw Rod Carrier and helps the curtain to draw more slowly and evenly and not at 100 mph! (Part 2255)

• 6364 Extension (used with 6365) 6365 Hanger (used with 6364). Both these parts have been available for ages and have been overlooked but they do help your Wave curtains to return to the wall and  keep the curtain in the true Wave fashion in the middle rather than flapping about. If you want a really professional finish to your Wave curtains then get these parts they really finish things off neatly.

We will list these parts as accessories soon with the Wave Heading Supplements

• All will be available online from  Pole Design from the end of January 2010.  If you have any queries about any of the Silent Gliss products please call us  on 0845 409 3850 or 0131 202 0219 where one of our experienced assistants will be happy to help.
  

Silent Gliss Make It Safe - Safety Bead Chain for Roman Blind Tracks

In the last 18 months there have been five child fatalities in the UK as a result of strangulation in blind cords. Whilst the risk posed by blind cords and chains is extremely slight, the consequences are devastating so Silent Gliss plan to 'Make It Safe' and make sure our customers do the same.

Pole Design are supplying all made to measure Silent Gliss Roman Blind Tracks operated by bead and loop chains with a Safety Cord Retainer when purchased online. The range we supply which is provided with this special safety feature includes the Silent Gliss 2020 track, the Silent Gliss 2120 for heavier blinds, also the Silent Gliss 2320 and the Silent Gliss 2330  all come with five year guarantee on parts as is usual with all Silent Gliss products.

If a cord retainer is supplied- make sure to fit it! Other tips if small children are around:

■Make sure all cords are out of reach.

■If a safety cleat or retainer cannot be fitted cut the loop and add toggles instead.

■A child's cot, bed, highchair or playpen should not be positioned near to window blinds.

■Children love to climb - do not place sofas, chairs, tables or bookcases near to a window blind.

Silent Gliss Wave Heading System

Create Waves with the Silent Gliss Wave Heading System from Silent Gliss:

What makes Wave™ so unique?

•When completely closed or part open, the curtains offer a smooth continuous wave effect.

•The Wave™ glider cord is not visible when the curtain is fully closed.

•The simple yet stylish design of the Wave™ heading means curtains are easy to make up with our special cordless 70mm tape. Sewn along the top of the curtain, the pockets are in exactly the right position for our track system.

•Depending on the fullness selected Wave™ can be as economical as as a standard 1" tape but not as stylish.

•When taken down the curtain is flat for cleaning.

How it works....

A special glider cord is contained within the curtain track, - this limits the extension of the curtain fabric, creating a smooth and continuous wave effect.

Curtain Stacking

When open the Wave™ System encourages the curtains to stack back neatly and straight.

Compatible with following Silent Gliss systems - Metropole 30mm/50mm, Metroflat, Autoglide 5090 Electric Track, 3840W Cord Operated Track.

You can purchase the Silent Gliss Metropole with the Wave Supplement from Pole Design.  The  Wave™ supplement includes your pole specially dapted with Wave™ gliders and all you need to make your curtains including Wave™ tape, hem tape and hooks. 

If you simply want the pole converted to Wave just Contact us and we will give you a price.
