Panel Track Blinds Features
Panel track and sliding door blinds are a fashion-forward alternative to traditional vertical blinds. Similar to vertical blinds, panel track blinds can stack differently based on preference and style – they can stack to the left, right, or parting down the middle. Stack placement allows for a custom look while still maintaining a view.
If your panel track blinds cover a sliding glass or patio door, you’ll likely interact with them frequently. Sliding panel blinds are available in options such as wood and solar shade materials, so they’re perfect for everyday wear and tear with frequent use.
Panel Track Blinds Upgrades
Interested in upgrading your panel track blinds? Consider these optional features for further customization:

- Stack Placement: Choose how you want to close your panel tracks: you can do either side, split down the center, and pull to both sides or close to the center.
Panel Track Considerations
- 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.
