A special feature of curtains with gliders is their ability to completely darken a room. With this type of hanging system, there is almost no gap between the window and the curtain, meaning the room can be almost completely darkened.
Curtains with gliders are also ideal for rooms where you frequently need to move the curtains, such as living rooms or children's rooms. They are particularly well-suited to rooms with high ceilings and large windows, as they ensure a smooth, flowing drape.
