Panel tracks are a new generation window covering solution for large windows, patio doors and space dividers. They are essentially a series of overlapping fabric or woven material panels, attached to gliding carriers on a sturdy, low profile track.

Really, it's a matter of personal choice, both solutions work well in a variety of different window types, particularly those whose panes slide side to side. That said, some benefits of Panel Track Shades are:

- Contemporary Look

- More Modern Alternative to Verticals

Regular dusting with a feather duster or vacuum cleaner brush is recommended. Most stains can be blotted with a damp sponge and mild detergent. Before using anything stronger than a mild detergent and lukewarm water, test an unobtrusive corner of the shade. Do not immerse entire shade in water.

Use a feather duster or vacuum on a low setting and stroke lightly over the shade. To clean with water, use a lukewarm damp sponge or cloth with mild soap and wipe with very light strokes. Do not immerse entire shade in water or use chemical cleaners.
