What Are Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds?

Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds is a contemporary, sophisticated window treatment designed for short, tall, or wide windows. Unlike traditional blinds or shades, panel track blinds for windows have large fabric panels that glide smoothly along a track system with an interlocking bottom weight.

These blinds are available in 11 ½" or 17" panel sizes and over 450 color choices. The panels slide effortlessly along the track, making them easy to operate and adjust. Exceptionally functional, you can also mount them on the ceiling to use them as room dividers to suit your needs.

Features of Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds

Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds have wide panels for a clean, uncluttered look that can enhance the overall design appeal of your space. They work best on large expanses of glass, like large windows and glass patio doors. The minimalistic design works well with contemporary and traditional decor, so you won’t feel limited.

The panel track system allows for smooth operation, so it’s easy to open and close the blinds with minimal effort. The panels can be fully or partially opened, giving you control over the light entering the room. That helps create different moods or enhance privacy as needed. When open, the panels stack tightly and offer wide-open views; keep them closed and enjoy looking at the elegant textures and fabrics.

Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds control options include:

  1. Wand Control: Basic push and pull closure with a wand to guide the panels along the track.
  2. Cord Loop: This closure has a custom clutch for ease of control.
  3. PowerView® Automation is a motorized window treatment system that lets you open, close, and adjust Hunter Douglas window treatments with the PowerView® app on tablet and smartphone, through the sleek Pebble® Remote, or via smart-home systems for voice-operated convenience.

The Benefits of Panel Track Window Blinds

Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds present several advantages:

  • They effectively cover large windows and sliding doors. Traditional blinds or shades may only sometimes provide adequate coverage, but panel track blinds handle the task efficiently.
  • The panels' smooth gliding motion ensures they operate quietly and effortlessly. That’s especially helpful in high-traffic areas or spaces requiring frequent adjustments.
  • Adjusting each panel individually allows you to create various levels of light filtration. 
  • These blinds provide excellent privacy when fully closed.
  • Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds are a low-maintenance solution for covering large windows and sliding glass doors. The fabrics resist dust and dirt, reducing the need for frequent cleaning. The track system is easy to wipe down and maintain.
