Vertical Sliding Panels bring unexpected style to wide windows and patio doors and offer more design versatility than ever before. Available in fabrics that coordinate with Solar, Roller and Natural Shade collections, sliding panels bring visual coordination to any room that includes both standard and wide windows. They also make striking and functional room dividers and closet doors.

Designer roller shades are often used in this type of application as well. These elegant shades are easy to operate and add sophisticated flair to any room. Choose from designer-inspired fabrics in a multitude of hues, patterns, and possibilities, including jacquards, stripes, and delicate woven textures. For a finishing touch, add embellishments like a scalloped hem and beaded or gimp trim.

In addition to hue and pattern, choose the weight and opacity of your roller shades according to how you would like to regulate the light.

Are two panels fixed and one functional as a door?

A lot of people don't like the look of vertical vinyl blinds but I found them to be very practical in a dining room next to a kitchen and in a living room with a fireplace. Unlike fabric options, they don't absorb dust/ash or smell -- much easier to clean -- and they come in a variety of colors.

If you split in the middle there would be two panels on each side. These are not the old style vertical blinds. These are modern flat panels of fabric that stack into each other like a deck of cards when closed.

i cant quite tell which panel slides, is it the far left one? then do a one way draw drape on a traverse rod, or a vertical blind, with all of the stack going to the right. that way you only have to open the window treatment a little way to go in and out the door.

if its the center panel that moves, same advice but do it a center meet.

for a more modern interpretation of traverse rods and vertical blinds, measure them to go to the ceiling, not stuck on the upper casing of the door.

The middle panel opens as the door. Thank you all for your suggestions.
