Getting to know Australian Side Track Blinds
The terminology referenced varies from state to state and person to person. We, in the Australian blinds wholesale space, would call them a side tracking blind. Some people call them side channel blinds. Some people call them track blinds. Some people call them alfresco blinds. There are a lot of variables in the terminology as to what people might call them.
How do side track blinds differ from wire-guide (wire-guided) blinds?
A side channel blind or a side track blind, depending on your terminology, holds the fabric inside the track. So, as the wind blows, it presses on the fabric, and the fabric is then pulled on the outsides. In a sidetrack blind or side channel blind, the fabric is retained in the side channel. It can only belly a certain amount before it pulls on what locates it into that sidetrack. A guide blind is simply a stainless steel cable that runs from the headbox down to the ground or the bottom of the window. As the fabric unrolls off the roller and goes up and down, the wire guide guides the bottom rail that holds the fabric.
