Woven wood sliding doors add the sophisticated and elegant touch of real wood, which can create a warm and inviting atmosphere in any room of the home. Both light and dark colors are available, with various weaves that can be chosen to add texture and definition. The addition of paints and dyes create even more unique and varied patterns, with selections such as whitewash or teawash offering subtle color variations across the length and width of the door. Patterns that are more dramatic such as Rustic Bamboo, Rustic Makake, and Rustic Tortoise combine light and dark colors to create a range of interesting and eye-catching color shifts, often resembling the color shifts that are found naturally in the outdoors.

There are 23 wood patterns to choose from, with options including both solid and textured weaves, as well as patterns that resemble the more traditional look of slat blinds. An additional 16 color options are available for the banding used to prevent fraying around the edges, with fabric backing available in 6 color choices to provide an additional measure of privacy when the doors are closed. The ability to mix and match the doors, banding, and backing enables color and pattern combinations to be selected to suit personal preferences, as well as to match colors both inside and outside the home.

Valances can be added for the perfect finishing touch, with the 3-1/2 inch crown valance providing an especially complementary look when used with woven wood sliding doors. The patterns of the valances run horizontally, which provided an appealing contrast to the vertical patterns that run through the doors. The complementary colors and varied patterns add a rustic charm that still provides an elegant and finished look to the folding doors, while maintaining an appearance that is natural, rather than overwhelming. One of the best features of the crown valances is that they do not have to be purchased at the same time as the doors, as achieving a perfect color match is not necessary.

Woven wood sliding doors can be purchased in heights that range from 12″ to 96″, with widths available from 24″ to 144″. Valances can be cut to the same width as the doors, although if mounting outside the framing is preferred, they will be cut 1″ wider than specified in the order. It should also be noted that valances ordered in widths longer than 96″ would be created in 2 pieces, rather than cut as a single piece valance.

Folding doors are an attractive alternative to typical curtains and blinds when it comes to coverings for sliding glass doors. The warm wood patterns and textures of woven wood sliding doors work well in any type of room decor, and both light and dark colors are available to complement any style of home furnishing. Safety is also ensured, as the folding doors are made to operate by hand, thus eliminating the cords that can be dangerous to both children and pets. Crown valances add a warm and elegant finishing touch, with the colors and patterns designed to complement the folding doors, rather than blend in through a perfect color match. Color samples of the doors, banding, backing, and valances are available free of charge to make it easy to find the ideal combination, and the prices for purchase are often less than half of the suggested retail. An added benefit is that standard shipping is free. The attractive appearance of woven wood sliding doors makes them an appealing upgrade from traditional curtains and blinds, and the low cost offers an easy way to add warmth and charm while staying on a budget.

These panels are a series of overlapping pieces of fabric that are on a track that usually installs on the ceiling or wall. These panels generally are covered with fabric or woven material that make up the outside of these window panels.

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. In most cases, the track paneling runs from floor to ceiling and the individual panels that make up the unit are anywhere from 1 to 3 feet wide. A few of the advantages found in this style of window treatment is the new and contemporary look that this paneling provides. Additionally, the panels easily slide into place to give light blocking or filtering effect, and the tracking allows for smooth and effortless movement. Because these panels are much wider, they give a far greater appearance of being part of the room styling and decoration, instead of looking like window treatment alone. These panels are coming out in a variety of different colors, patterns, fabrics, and materials. Let’s take a look at some of the nice features to consider when considering these panel tracks.

Colors and Fabrics

This new and exciting decorating trend is being made available in a wonderful assortment of color and fabric. There are a plethora of colors, patterns, fabric designs, and textures being offered for decorating and coordinating these tracks to blend and enhance other features in the room. Most of the various fabrics and materials being used for construction of panel tracks are being specially treated to resist any type of fading that can often occur from light exposure. The larger panel size seems to discourage dust build up as well. These stain repellant panels should make house cleaning a much easier task. In addition to the fabrics and woven material used for construction, natural products and fiber such as bamboo, jute, reeds, and grasses give dramatic flair and mood to any room where they are installed. The look is exotic, unique, and perfect for creating a patio room or sport’s den.

Matching and Mixing Products

One nice advantage to Panel Track Shades is the coordination they provide in blending easily with other windows in the room; windows that are a different size or function can still be blended in with the blended paneling. The panel tracks being constructed and sold have been created with other window treatments in mind. The colors, patterns, and designs should be easy to match with existing roller blinds, roman shades, or other window treatments. These panel come with or without the privacy backing which gives the option of purchasing panels that offer complete privacy from outside, or light filtering track panels that still allow lighting.

Options

The track panels currently come with cord operation for moving the tracing into proper place, or free moving panels that can be moved into place with an attached wand. it lets you slide the panels across the window for closure or they can be opened at various positions. The panels on track window treatment can be slid and stored from the right or the left side of the window, which gives a new dimension in decision and decorating convenience. Another option, mentioned earlier, is the purchase of material panels that have privacy backing or not. This backing will completely close out the light or vision of the window it is covering. These panels work so well that some decorators have used these panel tracks as room dividers, giving the function and feel of sectioning off areas of the room.

Important words of caution

The panel tracks must usually be installed from the ceiling. Though this does not have to be a daunting task, it can stop the average homeowner that doesn’t have a ladder, measuring tape, or set of screw drivers or power drill in their garage. If you are completely tool challenged, you will need to get help to install your panel track or have the store where you purchased them do it for you. Also, you will always have one panel fully exposed. That panel can be 23″ or wider. That is something to think about if you have a lack of space.

We just added some updated panel track installation instructions. It should make it easier to figure out. We will also have videos soon.
