Staring at a sliding glass door and not sure what actually covers it well? Vertical blinds get the job done, but they're not the only option anymore. Sliding panels — also called panel track blinds — are a modern vertical alternative built specifically for wide openings: broad fabric panels that glide along a track instead of tilting slats. As authorized dealers of Graber® and Norman® window treatments, Shaded In The Sun offers custom sliding panel track systems professionally measured and installed in Oklahoma City, Edmond, Nichols Hills, and the surrounding metro.
How Panel Track Works
Broad fabric panels hang from a rust-resistant aluminum track and glide open or closed with a control wand.
- • Track System: Choose the number of tracks for your space — panels are automatically sized wider or narrower
- • Control: A slender wand opens and closes the panels
- • Stacking: Panels retract fully clear of the window when open
Coordinated Fabric Options
Match your panel track system to the shades already in the rest of your home.
- • Shared Collections: Natural, roller, solar, and Roman shade fabrics
- • Light Control: Ranges from sheer to blackout depending on fabric
- • Best For: A coordinated look across every window and door in the house
Built for Wide Openings
Sliding glass doors and oversized windows are exactly what panel track systems were designed for.
- • Best For: Patio doors, sliding glass doors, and wide windows
- • Vertical Alternative: Works anywhere vertical blinds are used, with a cleaner look
- • Related: Pairs well with exterior solar shades for sunrooms and patios
More Than a Window Treatment
The same track-and-panel system that covers a patio door works just as well indoors.
- • Closet Doors: A sleek alternative to traditional closet doors
- • Room Dividers: Split open floor plans without permanent walls
- • Best For: Homes that want flexible, reconfigurable spaces

What Are Sliding Panels or Panel Track Blinds?
Sliding panels are broad fabric panels hung on an aluminum track system, opened and closed with a control wand instead of tilting or stacking like traditional blinds. They're the go-to window treatment for sliding glass doors and other wide openings, and the fabric can range from sheer to blackout depending on what you choose.
Are Panel Tracks a Good Alternative to Vertical Blinds?
Yes. Panel track systems work anywhere vertical blinds are used, but with a cleaner, more modern look and a broader range of uses. The panels retract fully clear of the window when open, and the track system automatically sizes panels wider or narrower based on how many tracks you choose for your space.
Can Panel Track Systems Double as Closet Doors or Room Dividers?
Yes. Beyond windows and sliding glass doors, panel track systems are a popular choice for closet doors and as room dividers in open floor plans, since the same track-and-panel mechanism works just as well indoors as it does over a window.
What Fabric Options Are Available for Sliding Panels?
Sliding panels share fabric collections with roller shades, solar shades, Roman shades, and natural shades, so you can coordinate your panel track system with other window treatments throughout your home. Light control ranges from sheer to blackout depending on which fabric collection you choose.
How Much Do Sliding Panel Track Systems Cost in Oklahoma City?
Custom sliding panel track systems start around $500 for a 36″ by 60″ opening. Because panel track pricing scales with the width of your window or door, exact pricing depends on the number of panels, track length, and fabric selection. We provide accurate, itemized pricing after a free in-home consultation — no guessing, no surprises. Call 405-259-5599 to schedule yours in Oklahoma City or Edmond.
