| Sliding Panels
The versatility of panel tracks is central to their appeal. Increasingly popular as window treatments, they can also be used as room dividers or as innovative coverings for closets and other open spaces. With more consumers embracing loft-style living, panel tracks are ideal for adding definition to modern, open floor plans.
More than just a window treatment, panel tracks can add dramatic architectural detail to a space. With a focus on quality materials, ease of use, and versatility, panel-track systems are appropriate to almost any interior, from a contemporary loft to a traditional office.
Panel-track systems have a long history in traditional Japanese architecture. Shoji screens were made of wood and translucent washi paper and were designed to slide on wooden tracks at the top and bottom of the screen. Inspired by these traditional treatments, today's panel tracks generally run on top tracks only, and are available in a variety of materials, including woven woods, mesh, jute, solar screen materials, as well as traditional fabrics.
Consumers are increasingly finding more daring designs, colors, and styles in the panel-track category. Fabric panels can be color-coordinated to create a designer touch for the whole room - perfect for rooms with a mix of small and large windows, or combinations of traditional window settings with sliding-glass doors.
Tracks are available in two, three, four, and five passes and each track allows a combination of two to eight panels, making panel-track systems ideal for large treatments. Multiple track systems require surprisingly little stacking depth when open for a clean, crisp look yet provide continuous coverage when closed.
Panel tracks provide a versatile, contemporary way to control light, glare, and privacy, and add drama to an environment. |
