Sliding Panel Track Blinds

Panel track blinds are the modern answer to covering wide windows and sliding doors without the dated look of traditional vertical blinds. Large fabric panels glide smoothly along a track, stacking neatly to one side when you want an unobstructed view and spreading across the full opening when you need privacy or light control. Clean lines, simple operation, and a contemporary silhouette that works with just about any room in the house.

At Blindsgalore, our sliding panel track blinds are custom-built to fit your exact window or door opening. Choose from fabric, solar screen, and natural woven wood materials in hundreds of colors and textures. Whether you're covering a 6-foot patio slider or a wall of oversized windows, panel track shades deliver a polished look that traditional blinds simply can't match.

Why Choose Panel Track Blinds?

If you've ever looked at a set of vertical blinds and wished there was something better, sliding panel blinds are it. Here's what makes them stand out.

• Perfect for Wide Openings

  Panel track blinds are purpose-built for patio doors, sliding glass doors, and large windows where standard blinds or shades fall short. The wide fabric panels cover more surface area per panel, creating a smooth, uniform appearance across even the biggest openings.

• Stacks Are Completely Clear

  When open, sliding panel tracks stack tightly to one side, leaving the entire door or window completely unobstructed. Walk through a patio door, enjoy an unblocked view, or let maximum daylight flood in with nothing in the way.

• Wall or Ceiling Mount

  Mount the track to the wall above the opening or directly to the ceiling for a dramatic floor-to-ceiling look. Ceiling-mount sliding panel track blinds also double as a stylish room divider for home offices, studio apartments, or open-concept living spaces.

• A True Vertical Blind Alternative

  Panel track shades offer the same side-to-side operation as vertical blinds but with a sleeker, more modern aesthetic. No individual vanes to twist, no clunky chains, and no broken slats. Just smooth, quiet panels that slide effortlessly along a wheeled carrier track.

Panel Track Materials and Light Control

One of the best things about sliding panel blinds is the range of materials available. Each one brings a different look and level of light control to your space.

Fabric Panels

The most versatile option. Fabric sliding panel track blinds come in light filtering and blackout opacities, so you can soften daylight in a living room or block it out entirely in a bedroom. Our signature Blindsgalore Envision Light Filtering Sliding Panels are available in 56 colors for a soft, diffused glow, while our Blindsgalore Envision Blackout Sliding Panels is offered in over 40 color options for near-total darkness and full privacy.

For even more variety, the Bali Sliding Panels give you access to a selection of almost 100 colors that coordinates beautifully with other Bali window treatments throughout the home.

Solar Screen Panels

Want to cut glare and UV rays without losing the view? Solar screen sliding panels are made with perforated material that filters harsh sunlight while still allowing you to see through to the other side. A great choice for sun-drenched living rooms or west-facing patio doors where heat and glare are an issue.

Woven Wood and Natural Panels

For a warm, organic texture, natural woven wood panel track shades bring an earthy, layered look to any room. The Bali Sliding Panels: Natural Shades are available in over 50 different textures made from bamboo, grasses, and reeds. The Levolor Panel Track Blinds with Woven Woods add another option for homeowners who love the natural, handcrafted aesthetic.

Where to Use Sliding Panel Track Blinds

Sliding Glass Doors and Patio Doors

Sliding glass doors and patio doors are the most common spot for panel track blinds, and for good reason. The panels glide on the same axis as the door, making access seamless. No lifting, no tilting, just slide the panels out of the way and walk through. Check out our full guide on How To Install Blinds On Sliding Glass Door for more tips.

Oversized and Wide Windows

Oversized and wide windows that are too large for a single shade get a clean, cohesive look with sliding panel blinds. Multiple panels span the full width without the seams or gaps you'd get from hanging several individual shades side by side.

Room Dividers

Room dividers are a creative use that more homeowners are catching on to. Ceiling-mount a set of panel track shades to separate a home office from a living area, section off a studio apartment, or create a flexible partition in an open floor plan.

How to Measure for Panel Track Blinds

Measuring for sliding panel track blinds is straightforward, but the details matter. Panel tracks can be mounted inside or outside the window or door frame.

For the best results, we recommend downloading our printed measuring guide and worksheet. Measure the width of the area you want to cover (including any overlap on the sides for outside mount) and the height from the mounting point to the bottom of where you want the panels to hang. Keep in mind the stack-back space on the side where the panels will rest when open.
