Product Spotlight: Vertical Panel Tracks

Once upon a time, the only option for covering large windows and sliding doors, was the vertical blind. These blinds were typically made of vinyl and could be purchased quite inexpensively through your local DIY store. They provided needed privacy and light control and were easy on the pocketbook, but proved to be very irritating to operate and maintain over a period of time. Not to mention the fact they weren't very attractive to look at.

Although the vertical blind has come a long way in recent years and now offers a vast range of very cool finishes and options, it seems that the stigma attached to them for the aforementioned reasons remains and consumers have sought other alternatives for addressing their window and door covering needs.

Enter Panel Track...

Panel Track treatments infuse a modern, sophisticated breath of fresh air to the world of verticals! They are not only stylish but very functional and easy to use and maintain. Best of all, most lines carried by window covering fabricators such as Graber and Hunter Douglas coordinate with other products such as roller and solar shades and come in a wide array of fabrics, including natural, woven woods. Graber even coordinates products in the same room using reverse color fabrics. As shown in the picture to the left, their Lightweaves roller shades used at the windows in fabric: Spa, color: Dew are complimeted by a cassette valance in the reverse color: Showers and is also used at the sliding door in their Panel Accents panel track system. Featured also in the picture is a nice option for panel track... the Regal Wood Cornice, which is available in two sizes and in both stained and painted finishes.

Panel Accents feature a sleek aluminum track system with panels that glide easily into place, and a patent-pending attachment design that reduces the light gap between panels. They can be mounted as shown in the picture or on a ceiling to make the perfect room divider or closet door alternative. To personalize the look even further, you can also match different style fabrics and colors on one track!

The possibilities seem endless with this very versatile, beautiful treatment!
