The Overhead Cassette Blinds utilises the Tracker system to ensure that fabric remains within the side channels. The zip or tracker system runs through the inner channel allowing the blind to operate smoothly. The system prevents the fabric from being blown out of the side channels, if ever the windows opens and a vacuum occurs. In addition, this is one of the reason the blind is more expensive than any domestic system that does not utilise the zips.
This is a requirement particularly for windows that need to darken a room where blocking out light is important.
