Ann Idstein created the Panel System at the beginning of the 1990’s. Wooden slats from the Venetian Blind department were applied to fabrics, creating a new kind of panel curtain in the process. The wooden slats create stability, they prevent direct contact between the human hand and the fabric and they add an aesthetical value to the product.
During the past decades, the product has been developed further, opening up a range of new applications. Ann Idstein’s Panel System is an excellent room divider, a well-functioning sliding door in front of a shelf or wardrobe or an efficient screen in a window situation. Thanks to a wide selection of fabrics and wooden slats, the product can offer many different looks and functions. The material selection stretches from translucent foil to sound absorbing felt and light diffusing screen fabrics.
The wooden slats are available in a wide range of solid wooden types and colours. A symmetrical placement of the slats is most common but Ann Idstein also offers to place the slats acording to your own sketch. As with all products within the Ann Idstein range, it is possible to custom paint the slats. The track rail is available in white or anodized aluminium with 2 to 5 tracks depending on how many curtains are to be slid behind eachother. Wall- and ceiling fittings are available.
Start by checking that the surface is suitable for the purpose of fitting a blind. Make sure that fittings can be properly attached and that the surface is strong enough to carry the weight of the product. The surface should be even and it is important that the measuring points you are considering, are well aligned.
Width measurement
1. When fitting a free hanging product:
Measure the desired width of the ready made product and use
this measurement as your system width when ordering.
2. When fitting a product from wall to wall:
Measure the width at three points; at the top, in the middle
and at the bottom. If the measurements deviate, please use the
smallest one and deduct according to the chart below, in order
to calculate your system width. When measuring for Roller
Blinds, it is sufficient to measure the width at the top.
Height measurement
1. When fitting a free hanging product:
Measure the height from the ceiling or from a point on the wall
to the point where you want the lower edge of the product to
be. Use this measurement as your system height.
2. When fitting a product from wall to wall:
Measure the height at three points; to the left, in the middle
and on the right. If the measurements deviate, please use the
smallest one and deduct according to the chart below, in order
to calculate your system height.

** The production height of Venetian Blinds is dependent on the pitch within the ladder cords and therefore, an exact height cannot be guaranteed. You can choose to order by sending us your height measurement without deduction and letting us know whether you prefer your blind to be ”Plus”, meaning that the blind will be at least as high as the height measurement prior to deduction or ”Minus” if you want to make sure that the blind is guaranteed not to sit on the floor, window board etc. when pulled down.
