Silent Gliss in Malaysia

Where can I buy Silent Gliss curtains and blinds in Malaysia?

Through Promolink, which describes itself as the sole gateway to Silent Gliss in Malaysia. Promolink supplies Silent Gliss manual and motorised curtain tracks and blinds, including the Wave curtain system, from the first technical consultation to local installation. The full range is under Exclusive Product.

Which Silent Gliss systems does Promolink offer?

Promolink lists Silent Gliss curtain systems (Wave, Metropole, and cubicle and room divider tracks), roller, dim-out, panel glide, Roman, vertical, pleated and Venetian blinds, and skylight shading. Most come in manual and electric versions, and some also run on battery, chain or spring. Each system has its own page under Exclusive Product.

What is a Wave curtain?

A Wave curtain, also called an S-fold or ripple fold curtain, hangs in even S-shaped folds for a sleek, modern look. On the Silent Gliss Wave system a glider cord inside the track sets how far the fabric spreads, so the curtain stacks neatly when open and falls in a continuous wave when closed. See Wave Curtain and our guide Wave curtains vs pinch pleat: what is the difference?.

Motorised curtains and blinds

What is a motorised curtain system?

A motorised (electric) curtain system opens and closes your curtains or roller blinds with a motor, so you press a button or set a timer instead of pulling them by hand. Promolink fits Silent Gliss motorised curtain tracks and roller blinds made to the size of your windows. See Silent Gliss Motorised system.

When is a motorised curtain worth it?

Motorised curtains make most sense for heavy, very tall or very wide curtains and for windows that are hard to reach. Curtains spanning more than 10 metres are hard work to pull by hand, and a timer can close them before you get home so the house stays cool. Electric tracks also suit AV and conference rooms. See Electric Curtain Track Systems and our guide Are motorised curtains worth it in Malaysia?

How do you control electric curtains?

Silent Gliss electric curtain tracks can be run from a wall switch, a remote control, the Silent Gliss Move app, or a home control or building management system. You can also set a timer so they open and close on their own. See Electric Curtain Track Systems.

How wide and heavy can an electric curtain be?

Up to 65 kg and 25 m wide, on the Silent Gliss SG 5600 electric track. The smaller SG 5100 motor carries curtains up to 30 kg and 9 m wide. Both work with Wave curtains. Full specifications are on the Electric Curtain Track Systems page.

Are motorised roller blinds noisy?

No. Silent Gliss motorised roller blinds run virtually silently, can stop part-way at set points, and have a built-in safety stop if anything interrupts the movement. A battery-operated version, the SG 4955, gives wireless shading at the push of a button. See electric roller blinds and battery roller blinds.

Choosing curtains and blinds

Which curtains or blinds keep a room cool?

Choose fabrics with a low solar transmission (Ts) value and a high solar reflectance (Rs) value; metallised fabrics with an aluminium backing reflect much more heat. Double-layer zebra blinds and timber blinds with thick wooden slats also help keep heat out, and outdoor blinds shade balconies and patios from the sun. See Heat, light and glare and our guide How to keep a hot room cool with curtains and blinds.

Which blinds make a bedroom completely dark?

Dim-out blinds are made for total room darkening, which suits bedrooms, AV and conference rooms and medical areas, and they can be fitted inside or outside the window recess. Promolink also makes blackout curtains and a blackout roller blind with side guide channels. See Dim-out Blind Systems and our guide Blackout curtains or blackout blinds for a bedroom?.

What are zebra blinds?

Zebra blinds are double-layered blinds made of alternating horizontal stripes of solid and sheer fabric. The double layer acts as an extra barrier against heat. See Zebra Blinds and our guide Zebra blinds or roller blinds: which suits a Malaysian condo?.

Are Roman blinds good for blocking light?

Roman blinds soften light rather than block it fully, as their fabric does not filter light as strongly as other blind systems. For day and night in one, Promolink's two-layer system pairs a sheer layer for the day with a Roman blind for the night. See Roman Blinds.

Which blinds fit round, triangular or skylight windows?

Pleated blinds are made for unusual window shapes, including round and triangular windows, and Silent Gliss pleated systems also come for inclined and ceiling windows. For glass roofs, atriums and conservatories there are Silent Gliss skylight shading systems, electric or crank-operated. See Pleated Blind and Skylight Shading Systems.

Which blinds suit a bathroom or kitchen?

Pleated blinds are a good fit, because Promolink makes them in moisture-resistant materials. Promolink makes blinds for living rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchens, and the team can advise on the right fabric for each room. See Pleated Blind.

Why choose timber blinds?

Timber blinds are made of real wood: they give privacy, keep sunlight out and add warmth to rooms with wooden floors and furniture. Their thick slats also insulate against the heat outside all year round. See Timber Blinds.

Outdoor, commercial and special fabrics

Does Promolink have outdoor blinds for balconies and patios?

Yes. Promolink makes outdoor roller blinds, which give maximum shading with minimal window obstruction, and outdoor wooden blinds in wood and bamboo for balconies, patios, gazebos and backyards. The wooden blinds keep out sun and rain, cut glare and give daytime privacy. See Outdoor Roller Blinds and Outdoor Wooden Blinds.

How long do outdoor wooden blinds last?

Promolink says its outdoor wooden blinds last up to 10 years. They come with teak oil protection, are made of certified non-toxic material and resist weather and fungus. See Outdoor Wooden Blinds.

Does Promolink have acoustic curtains that absorb sound?

Yes. The Silent Gliss collection includes acoustic fabrics whose sound absorption is measured to DIN EN ISO 354 and given as an αw value from 0 (none) to 1 (complete). Colorama Acoustic and Acoustic Multicolour absorb sound well while keeping a light, delicate look. See Silent Gliss Acoustic Curtain.

Does Promolink have antibacterial curtains for clinics and hospitals?

Yes. Silent Gliss antibacterial fabrics stop bacteria from multiplying and can be washed at up to 72 degrees, which suits healthcare settings, and antifungal fabrics are available too. Silent Gliss cubicle and room divider tracks are made for multi-bed hospital wards and also work in operating rooms, spas, changing rooms and offices. See Silent Gliss Antibacterial Curtain and Cubicle / Room Divider.

Are Silent Gliss curtain fabrics fire retardant?

Yes. All Silent Gliss fabrics in The Collection are certified flame retardant (FR), to standards that include BS 5867, NFPA 701, EN 13501 and DIN 4102-1. See Flame retardancy.

Does Promolink offer eco-friendly fabrics?

Yes. Silent Gliss Newlifescreen/Alu fabrics are made entirely from recycled PET bottles, and Colorama Eco is woven from pre-production waste. Silent Gliss screen fabrics also lower a building's heat load and its need for air conditioning, and support BREEAM and LEED green building projects. See Sustainability.
