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.

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.
