Vertical Blinds & Panel Track
Sliders and wall-wide glass, solved - fabric vanes, gliding panels, and sheer verticals that retire the rattling PVC of the 90s.
The slider problem, solved three ways
Every South Florida home has the same hard window: the sliding door. Classic vertical blinds still do the job - but today they come as soft fabric vanes, wide gliding panel-track systems, or Allusion sheer verticals that move like drapery and control light like a blind. Nothing rattles, nothing yellows.
We measure the full span, the stack direction, and the traffic pattern, then fabricate to the millimeter - so panels park exactly where you walk through and the glass stays yours. Motorized track options glide the whole wall open at a touch. Comparing every option for a slider, rollers and draperies included? Start with our sliding glass door window treatments guide.
Vanes, panels & tracks
Fabric Vertical Vanes
Soft, modern vanes in light-filtering to room-darkening fabrics - the quiet successor to PVC verticals.
Panel Track Systems
Wide fabric panels gliding on a low-profile track - the most architectural answer for big sliders and room dividers.
Allusion Sheer Verticals
Sheer and solid vanes interlaced - walk straight through anywhere. See Allusion blinds.
Stack & Traffic Planning
Left, right, split, or center stack - planned around how you actually use the door.
Room-Darkening Options
Opaque vanes and overlapped panels for media walls and bedrooms with sliders.
Motorized Tracks
Somfy Glydea-class motors glide the whole wall at a tap - see motorized tracks.
Frequently asked
What is the best treatment for a sliding door?
Panel track or Allusion sheer verticals for a modern look; fabric verticals for the classic function; drapery panels for softness. We bring all options to the consultation.
Can I still walk through easily?
Yes - stacks are planned around your traffic pattern, and Allusion vanes let you pass through anywhere without opening the whole treatment.
Can vertical systems be motorized?
Yes - motorized tracks glide panels or vanes at a touch, and integrate with Lutron, Somfy, and your smart home.
Do you replace old PVC verticals?
Constantly - it is one of the fastest visual upgrades a Florida home can make, often in under an hour per door.

“After getting a quote from a big-name company. We asked exotic shades and draperies to quote as well. Their pricing and selection stood out. With a lot of attention to small details. David managed everything professionally and kept us updated. We are thrilled with the new look of our new zebra blinds.”
“Great customer service! We couldn't be happier with the silhouette blinds Exotic Shades installed. From the first visit to the the final install, working with David and his team was a pleasure.

“After debating for a while about what to do with our window, we decided blinds were the way to go. I searched around and came across Exotic Shades & Draperies. From my very first contact, they were warm and friendly. David arrived exactly on time for our appointment, offered great recommendations, and the estimate I received was very fair. Just a week and a half later, the blinds were installed and I couldn’t be happier with the result! They look fantastic. Without a doubt, I highly recommend them.”
