Vertical blinds come in many styles. These window panels are panel track blinds or sliding panel blinds. Note that they are not the typical width of a vertical blind, but telescoping panels that will disappear into themselves to allow more of the outside in. Vertical window blinds are used for large window arrays and sliding doors. Note that this fabric is a screen shade solar fabric with an Openness Factor (see solar / screen shade pics). Screen shade fabric allows visibility to the exterior, vs a solid fabric shade with an Opacity rating up to blackout shades.
