PVC vanes will. They do not care about temperature swings and they do not take up moisture, which is what matters in a room that freezes in January. Fabric vanes are the ones to avoid out there, since repeated damp and cold leaves them limp along the bottom edge. Keep the track itself clear of standing water, and give the vanes a wipe in spring once the pollen settles.

The vanes do, and they come off easily. Each one unhooks from its carrier by hand, so a whole track strips in a couple of minutes and the vanes lay flat somewhere clean. The headrail can stay put if you tape it, though taking the track down is only two screws per bracket. Rehanging is the same job backwards, and the order matters if the vanes carry a pattern.

They do, with the track outside and above the opening so the vanes hang clear of the frame hardware. A magnetic contact usually sits in the top corner of the door, which is exactly where an inside track wants to be, so mounting outside settles that on its own. A bar that drops into the sill sits behind the vanes and never touches them. The stack is what we check, since a bar propped against the jamb ends up inside the parked vanes.

On a door a family uses all summer, two or three is sensible. Vanes are cut to the drop of that particular opening, so a spare kept flat in a closet goes straight on when one gets creased or a dog puts a foot through it. It also sidesteps the colour question years later, when a fabric may have left the range. We hold your order details either way, which covers most situations, and a spare in the house covers the rest.
