Panel Track Blinds

Panel track blinds, or sliding panel blinds, are a modern blind that pairs well with larger windows or sliding patio doors. As a fashion forward alternative to vertical blinds, sliding panel blinds are larger panels that slide open and closed. Similar to a vertical blind, you have options on where your want the panel track blinds to stack when fully open; left, right, or center.

Panel track blinds are available in a range of styles and colors from natural woven wood or bamboo to solar shade materials. Since sliding panel blinds are typically installed on sliding doors, they will see lots of use and traffic moving in and out. The solar shade and wood materials used in their construction are perfect for this, able to withstand wear and tear from frequent use.

Other Considerations

While panel track blinds are a great option for large window coverings and sliding patio doors, they may not be the perfect option for everyone or for every room. A few things to consider:

• Panel track blinds have a guided track system similar to vertical blinds, so they require more mounting depth than most blinds. Always check the minimum depth requirements for your blinds before purchasing.
• Panel track blinds can look strange on small windows – they’re much better proportioned for large windows, sliding glass, or patio doors.
