Panel Glide Anatomy

Panel Glides Anatomy

3 Channel Track

The track is the horizontal rail mounted at the top of the window or door opening. It holds and guides the movement of the fabric panels. A 3 channel track allows multiple fabric panels to slide independently within their own channels. This provides flexibility in adjusting the blinds and can enhance the overall functionality and appearance. 

Fabric Panel

The fabric panel is the vertical section of the blind that covers the window or door. These panels can slide back and forth along the track. 

Stack Control Wand

The stack control wand is a device used to operate the panel glide blinds. It allows you to move the fabric panels along the track. Features include:

  • Sliding: The wand can be used to slide the panels left or right, stacking them neatly at one end of the track.
  • Tilting (Optional): Some designs may allow a slight tilt of the panels for better light control.

Base Bar

The base bar is located at the bottom of each fabric panel, providing weight and stability to ensure the panels hang straight and evenly. Features include:

  • Weighting Down: Helps to keep the fabric panels taut and prevents them from swaying.
  • Uniform Appearance: Ensures that all panels align properly and hang evenly.
  • Stability: Adds structural integrity to the fabric panels, helping them to maintain their shape.
