Are Slidetrack Blinds A Good Choice for Outdoor Living Areas?
If you have a patio, deck, or outdoor area, you know how quickly things can get uncomfortable with glare, wind, or sudden rain. That’s where Slidetrack® outdoor blinds come in.
- Smart Design
Slidetrack blinds have a unique track-guided setup. Unlike those old rope-and-pulley systems, these blinds sit securely in a slim aluminum channel from top to bottom, preventing any flapping or gaps that let the sun and rain sneak in.
- Built for Aussie Weather
These blinds are tough. They’re made to handle strong coastal winds and heat. Most parts are metal, and they have a heavy-duty bottom bar and axle. They perform well even in larger spans, making Slidetrack one of the best single-span options out there.
- Fabrics That Last
A lot of standard shade cloths wear out after a few hot summers. Slidetrack’s fabrics resist shrinking, available in various block-out levels and clear or tinted PVC. The material is neatly secured and fits into the track, which keeps it looking good over time.
- Combats Weather and Bugs
Sealed edges make Slidetrack blinds effective against UV rays, rain, dust, and even pesky bugs after dark. Installers often mention their ability to provide sun protection, control breezes, and enhance privacy as key reasons why clients want them.
- Easy Operation
You can choose from different operating methods:- Spring-assist with Ezylift™ for easy, cord-free lifting.
- Crank gearbox for a traditional winding method, perfect for taller spans.
- 12V solar or 240V motors that you can control with a switch or remote.
- Fits Odd Spaces
Slidetrack can fit tricky shapes like odd openings or sloped roofs. The innovative angle-mount and curved channels let installers customize the tracks, unlike many other blind styles that struggle in these spots.
- Colour Options
With over 25 colors to pick from, you won’t be left waiting on a special order. The powder-coated parts match the fabric well, making it look like a part of the building, not just an added feature.
