sliding fabric panel systems

Residential fabric panel systems have been used for decades & are ideal for patio or closet doors, used as a room divider, or simply to control the environment on any window in your home. Suitable for any setting that you would typically find drapery, the number of product options for this style of treatment far exceed ones imagination.

TWO SIMILAR BUT DIFFERENT SYSTEMS:

Panel Track

This product is made using a track system with up to 5 channels which allows each panel to flow and stack one in behind the other. This system is very versatile as you can essentially determine how wide you want the panels and then divide the space by that number to get the total number of panels / track channels required however widths between 24” and 36” are generally recommended. The world is virtually your oyster as you can chose from thousands of fabrics including screen weaves, sheer fabrics, Linens, upholstery fabrics, woven woods and basically anything that can be cut, hemmed & sewn. Larger fabric patterns can be fully displayed showing the print as it was intended. Most fabrics are simply hemmed at the side, but by adding a binding or trim, to lace or woven wood materials can also be used. Screen fabrics are also ideal for this treatment if they are laser cut to avoid fraying along the edges.

- Flexible: Panels can be made at almost any width in order to customize look and stack back requirements. Track systems can be center split, stacked to one side or made as a center stack.
- Uniform: Fabric panels slide one in front of the other making for a very clean & uniform look in both the opened & closed positions.
- Control options: Baton or “walk draw” hardware allows for easy operation with one hand.
- Customizable: Different from Hunter Douglas Skyline, panel widths can be varied to any width to reduce stacking widths required. Because the panels hang flat and there are no pleats, almost any drapery, upholstery or industrial fabric can be used.
- Economical: A great solution for patio doors at a fraction of the cost versus drapery as fabric yardage, sewing and track systems are much less expensive.
- Low maintenance: Very few moving parts means less maintenance and fabric can be attached & removed instantly by way of Velcro sliders.
- Track specs: Continuous widths of up to 20 feet & can be wall or ceiling mounted.

Note: The appearance of some larger patterns may be altered due to the overlap required between fabric panels.

Panel track systems. Coordinating fabrics for roller shades makes treating large rooms with a consistent look

Hunter Douglas Skyline – sliding fabric panels suitable for larger window openings

Skyline panels require minimal stacking space, maximizing daylight & views to the exterior. Also suitable for room dividers

Hunter Douglas Skyline Shades

With clean lines and a sleek contemporary look, Skyline® Gliding Window Panels offer the perfect solution for both large and small window expanses, patio doors and can also be used as a stylish room divider system. The revolutionary hardware system, combined with a fashion-forward fabric collections are guaranteed to dress any window in style.

As the operating hardware requires that panels stack diagonally behind one another, stacking space is increased therefore you may need more wall space on each side in order to fully clear the window when the shade is in the opened position. If space is limited, provisions can be made inside a wall to allow panels to disappear when not in use similar to a pocket door. Stacking configurations can be: center split, one way draw, or center stack.

- Consistency: Panels are available in 11.5” or 17” wide panels and therefore provide a consistent appearance window to window.
- Uniform: Fabric panels slide one in front of the other making for a very clean & uniform look in both the opened & closed positions.
- Control options: Baton or “walk draw” hardware is standard however other options include cord drawn with child safe device OR motorized systems with remotes, smart phone apps or integrated with home automation systems. This system is also compatible with Amazon Alexa & Google Home platforms which allow you to synchronize & schedule your shades to move automatically with the Powerview app.
- Fabrics: Different from Panel track systems, Hunter Douglas offer their own line of fabrics that can be coordinated with their “Designer Roller Shade” collection. Fabrics include screen weaves, sheers, light filtering and room darkening fabrics.
- Economical: A great solution for patio doors at a fraction of the cost versus drapery as fabric yardage, sewing and track systems are much less expensive.
- Low maintenance: Very few moving parts means less maintenance and fabric can be attached & removed instantly by way of Velcro sliders.
- Track specs: System widths from 28” up to 384” & heights from 9” to 168”. Tracks can be wall or ceiling mounted.

Note: Smaller fabric patterns are recommended due to the narrower widths of this product as well as overlaps required between fabric panels.
