Japanese curtains are flat and whole cloth (lamellas), which come with the rigid inserts above and below the curtains. With these inserts, the panels can move freely along the eaves, without folding up and remaining completely straight. With the help of a special mechanism the panels can move very smooth. They may be placed in the center, or moved to one of the sides of the window. Japanese curtains are light and weightless, as they are made of a special fabric, usually transparent.

Japanese panels are controlled as vertical blinds. The only difference is that they are not able to roll out and the fabric is much wider. There is a possibility of combining Japanese curtains: combining panels made of heavy and light fabric, changing the order of the fabric on the cornice. You can manage these curtains using a cord or a motor. Although the panels can be fixed if needed.

With the help of Japanese curtains you can not only decorate windows and doorways. Japanese curtains are multifunctional. They can be used to emphasize certain style solutions in the space, to separate different areas: dining room and living room, bedroom and computer area in the children’s room, kitchen and dining room.
