Vertical Blinds & Panel Track
Sliders and wall-wide glass, solved - fabric vanes, gliding panels, and sheer verticals that retire the rattling PVC of the 90s.
The slider problem, solved three ways
Every South Florida home has the same hard window: the sliding door. Classic vertical blinds still do the job - but today they come as soft fabric vanes, wide gliding panel-track systems, or Allusion sheer verticals that move like drapery and control light like a blind. Nothing rattles, nothing yellows.
We measure the full span, the stack direction, and the traffic pattern, then fabricate to the millimeter - so panels park exactly where you walk through and the glass stays yours. Motorized track options glide the whole wall open at a touch. Comparing every option for a slider, rollers and draperies included? Start with our sliding glass door window treatments guide.
Vanes, panels & tracks
Fabric Vertical Vanes
Soft, modern vanes in light-filtering to room-darkening fabrics - the quiet successor to PVC verticals.
Panel Track Systems
Wide fabric panels gliding on a low-profile track - the most architectural answer for big sliders and room dividers.
Allusion Sheer Verticals
Sheer and solid vanes interlaced - walk straight through anywhere. See Allusion blinds.
Stack & Traffic Planning
Left, right, split, or center stack - planned around how you actually use the door.
Room-Darkening Options
Opaque vanes and overlapped panels for media walls and bedrooms with sliders.
Motorized Tracks
Somfy Glydea-class motors glide the whole wall at a tap - see motorized tracks.
Frequently asked
What is the best treatment for a sliding door?
Panel track or Allusion sheer verticals for a modern look; fabric verticals for the classic function; drapery panels for softness. We bring all options to the consultation.
Can I still walk through easily?
Yes - stacks are planned around your traffic pattern, and Allusion vanes let you pass through anywhere without opening the whole treatment.
Can vertical systems be motorized?
Yes - motorized tracks glide panels or vanes at a touch, and integrate with Lutron, Somfy, and your smart home.
Do you replace old PVC verticals?
Constantly - it is one of the fastest visual upgrades a Florida home can make, often in under an hour per door.
