Options for Panel Track Blinds & Shades

• Opacity  
  Sheet vary in their opacity, or the amount of light they let through. Most panels are light-filtering rather than blackout fabric. That way, you'll be able to maintain your privacy while still letting in natural light. The sheets diffuse harsh sunlight into a gentler, softer, and warmer interior.
• Fabric Patterns  
  Panel track blinds come in a variety of colors. Solid colors or weaves offer rich textures to your window coverings.
• Materials  
  Woven wood, bamboo, fabrics, reeds, or solar screens are all great material choices for your panel track blinds. Bamboo panels are great for a tropical flair, or if you're looking for something more contemporary, off-white may do the trick.

Available Features

• Stack placement: The large fabric panels slide back and forth on a track and can stack completely when in an open position.
• Custom blind cornices: A cornice is a beautiful decorative accent that runs atop the edge of your window treatment. This is the perfect choice for any window treatment, and are commonly used with panel track shades, as well.

How do Panel Track Shades Work? 

Panel track shades work the same way as a sliding glass door. They glide along a track and can be positioned so that they gather to one side, to the center, or they can be placed on two tracks and open up to both sides. 

For most standard-size French doors or sliding doors, the whole system will have 2, 3, or 4 panels. Larger windows and doors will have more. 

How Wide Are Panel Track Blinds/Shades? 

Most brands start at a minimum width of 18-24 inches per panel. For most doors and windows, 24 inches tends to be a popular width.
