If you’re looking for a room divider, panel track blinds are a stylish and budget friendly solution that provide a variety of features. Unlike some traditional room dividers, they aren’t bulky or cumbersome, and they can easily be moved out of place for fast room separation. Panel track blinds can also be customized to fit the size of your room, and they come in a wide variety of fabrics and opacities to match any interior décor.
Panel track blinds, also known as sliding panels or sliding window panels, consist of narrow fabric or woven wood panels that hang from a wheeled aluminum track system. When closed, the panels spread out like a sliding door to give privacy and block light. When opened, the overlapping narrow panels stack to one or both sides to provide more space and allow more light to filter throughout the room.
Panel track blinds are the ideal room divider solution for many living spaces. They can provide privacy in studio or executive apartments as well as dorms or children’s rooms. In homes that have combination dining and living room areas, they can be closed to give the room a more intimate feel or be opened for larger gatherings.
Room-dividing panel track blinds come in a wide variety of options. Patterns make a bold statement and work well in large rooms. Smaller rooms are well-served with solid tones that complement other fixtures and furnishings, while natural weaves and woven woods fit nicely with neutral colors and can add texture and intrigue to the room.
Different opacity options can also serve varying room division needs (see our blog post on understanding opacity for more information). People looking for privacy will want opaque or blackout blinds to obscure vision and light through the panels. Semi-opaque or semi-sheer blinds will add interesting texture and division while still allowing people to see through the panel to the other side of the room.
