Curtain Ideas With Pictures » Panel Track Blinds

These panel curtains or panel track blinds as they are very contemporary window treatments. They have the look of a very modern window treatment. They use little fabric in comparison to curtains and are great for covering wide windows.

You can have a go at making the panels yourself if you can sew. However you will still need to get the right kind of tracking system to hang them from.

Checkout the picture below to see a window I have fitted shown in the closed position. This one has a fabric covered pelmet/cornice that covers the track that the curtain panels hang from.

Why are they called "Panel Track Blinds"

They are called this because they are made of multiple flat pieces of fabric with a weight bar in a pocket at the bottom of each panel. This keeps things nice and square. They are often lined as in these images. Hung from a track with several grooves so the panels can stack one in front of the other when pushed back into the open position.

Take a look at these super contemporary panel track blinds here and see how much it would cost to get some custom made to fit your windows.

This example is fitted directly to the ceiling. the panels are then hung from the track to just clear of the floor. They are great for wide window treatments and as room dividers.

You can get the panels in light filtering fabrics to reduce the glare of the sun. Also you can have them with blackout fabrics to totally block the sun light. These are especially good for bedrooms giving you total privacy.

These perticular panel track blinds are operated with pull cord controls fitted to either end of the track. I would recommend this when using light colored fabrics as it does'nt take long before they get discolored by touching.

Take a look at a smaller window fitted with panel curtains.

In the image below you can see this window treatment again with a slim mini pelmet to cover the tracking. The tracking is fitted under a board supported on brackets. Then the mini pelmet is attached to the leading edge of the board with velcro tape (hook and loop tape)This time shown in the open position.

For something a little different why not use Bamboo sliding panels to create a warm feel to your window treatment.
