Abstract

A sliding panel system and a combined service area are disclosed. A sliding panel system for blocking access to disparate features of a room comprises a plurality of service areas (20; 22, 24), the service areas being separate regions of a room; and one or more panels (28; 128), the panel(s) being selectively movable to in front of the service areas (22, 24) so as to block access to one or more room features while leaving at least one other room feature at least partially accessible, and wherein the panel(s) (28; 128) are movable such that a user may select a different room feature to expose or block. A combined service area (20) comprises a first service area (22), a second service area (24), and one or more panels (28; 128) movable between a first configuration wherein the first service area (22) is at least partially covered by the one or more panels (28; 128) and the second service area (24) is accessible; and a second configuration wherein the second service area (24) is at least partially covered by the one or more panels (28; 128) and the first service area (22) is accessible.
