The Upper Track for 1/4" Sliding Panels is a structural component designed for sliding glass panel systems. Constructed from aluminum, this track provides a guide for panels in various sliding door applications. The track features a medium depth and is intended for use with a corresponding lower track to facilitate smooth movement of sliding panels. It measures 144" in length, 5/8" in height, and 7/8" in overall upper width, with an open width of 5/16". This track is finished in satin anodized, providing a consistent appearance for sliding panel installations. The aluminum construction offers a stable frame for glass panels, ensuring they remain aligned within the track during operation. This upper channel is commonly used in residential and commercial sliding glass setups, such as display cases, cabinets, or sliding door enclosures. The track is designed to be mounted at the top of the opening, allowing the glass panels to slide horizontally. It is compatible with standard 1/4" thick glass panels, providing a secure fit for the panels to glide within the channel. The satin anodized finish is applied to the aluminum surface, which helps maintain a clean look in various environments. This track is a fundamental part of a sliding system, working in conjunction with a lower track to keep the panels in place and moving smoothly.
