Panel Track Shades Dressing a wide set of windows or patio doors often presents a challenge with most window coverings. Panel Shades offer a perfect solution for spanning those wide window expanses and can even be used as room dividers to create separation and privacy in large and multi-functional areas.  Our fabric panels hang from a sleek white track that can be installed for ceiling or wall mount applications. Depending on the width of your window or patio door, tracks can be ordered with 3-panel, 4-panel, 5-panel and 6-panel configurations. Each fabric panel glides smoothly along the track and provides total privacy when closed.  The track can be covered with an optional valance with a matching fabric insert. Panel Shades can be ordered with left stack, right stack, or centre split configurations. Fabrics may be selected from our Roller Shade Collection. From light-filtering to blackouts and everything in between our fabric selection has the variety of styles, colours and textures to suit your specific design needs.  These long, vertical panels of fabric are elegant and create a sophisticated look in your room while offering total control over the amount of natural light in the space. The panels form a neat stack when drawn open, allowing for a completely unobstructed view of the outdoors.  Controlling the light in your home makes Elite Panel Shades both a cost-effective and energy-saving solution. In the summer months, having the panels closed will block out the sun’s rays and help to keep your rooms cooler. Blocking the UV rays when they are strongest in the summer months can also help to protect your home and furnishings from damage and fading due to the UV rays. Alternatively, keeping them open in the winter months can allow for the sunlight to naturally warm the room and help to keep your energy bills lower. 

Vertical Blinds Make the most of your room with Elite Vertical Blinds – It’s where we got our start more than 50 years ago, and we think Vertical Blinds still offer a timeless collection that has been welcomed into Canadians’ homes for decades. Vertical Blinds offer a great combination of convenience and versatility. In terms of convenience, they are easy to clean and maintain and can be used in virtually any room in your home – bedroom, office, living room or dining area. Since the louvres are vertical, they aren’t prone to dust or dirt particles and they can be easily wiped down for cleaning. All of our vertical blinds are available with our Deluxe Valance that tops off the window treatment. The Deluxe Valance features a matching fabric or PVC insert for a completely polished look.  They are a great option to cover large windows or patio doors because they are both durable and cost-effective; it’s no wonder vertical blinds are seen in so many homes! Our high-quality rail system keeps the louvres exactly aligned for a precise look. Louvres traverse smoothly along the rail for a quiet transition between open and closed positions.  Vertical Blinds are also highly customizable, coming in a variety of PVC colours and styles that are sure to enhance the design of your space. While white PVC blinds are the most typical, be sure to check out the options that are carried by Elite. The 180-degree rotation allows for highly customized light filtering. When the blinds are drawn across your windows, the louvres can be closed, stacking flat against one another to block out light and create complete privacy. They can also be adjusted at a variety of angles to create the optimal amount of both light filtering and privacy in the room. This can protect your home and furnishings from harmful UV rays and can also help to regulate the temperature of the space by filtering out the heat from the sun. This will have a positive impact on your home energy bills in the summer by lessening the need for air conditioning. Keeping the blinds closed during the winter months can also help to prevent heat loss and decrease the amount of heat required. Alternatively, if you want an unobstructed view of the outdoors, Elite Vertical Blinds can be drawn open with left right, or split stacking options. Our collection combines easy maintenance, excellent light control, and classic beauty. We offer 3 1/2″ vertical louvres made from a wide selection of PVC styles and colours for a perfectly customized look.  This product category is available by quote only.
