Even more energy efficient than our shades alone. The system consists of side tracks which attach to your window frame and specially fitted end caps which along with the specially notched sides of the shades minimize energy loss - heating or cooling!
Now Available with all operating hardware. Inside Mount only.
Additional Cost:   Varies with width and length of shade

Side tracks come in 2 colors
White or Golden Oak:


See the difference!
Without Energy Side Track on the left, light leaks on sides. With Energy Saving Side Track System, the room is darker and more energy efficient.

Black Out Shades without Energy Side Tracks

Black Out Shades with Energy Side Tracks.

Energy Saving Side Track System is for Inside Mount applications only.

Requirements and Features:

  • Minimum inside mount depth: 1 1/2"
  • Flush inside mount: 1 7/8"
  • The widest width of the window cannot exceed the narrowest width of the window by more than 1/4".
  • The difference between the two diagonal measurements must not be greater than 1/8". This is a good test to determine if your window is square.
  • Side Tracks are easy to install, they attach to the window casings with doube-stick tape and drywall screws.
  • Tracks made of durable, high-tech plastic.
  • The shades are notched to fit over the track and the bottom rail of the shade  is fitted with specially designed end caps.
  • Increases privacy and room darkening by closing side light gaps between the shade and window frames.

Easy to operate

An Energy Smart Shade is placed between two tracks made of durable, high-tech plastic that blend with your window casement. With the help of special bottom rail end caps, the shade moves smoothly along the sidetracks when being raised or lowered.

A great fit for most windows if your window frame is square!

The Energy Saving Side Track is available for inside mount, standard rectangular windows only. To ensure a proper fit, measure the width of your window in 3 places - top, middle and bottom. Use the smallest measurement when ordering.

 If there is more than 1/4" difference between the widest width of the window and the narrowest width of the window you should not order Energy Saving Side Tracks because your shade will not operate properly . The minimum inside mount depth is 1-1/2 inches. The flush inside mount depth is 1-7/8 inches.

Another test to determine if you window is "square" enough for side tracks is to measure each diagonal - inside the window frame. The difference between the two diagonals should not be greater than 1/8".

Your choice of hardware options
 
Energy Saving Side Tracks are available with the Standard Hardware system as well as with the top-down/bottom-up Top Down/ Bottom Up option, Cordless and the Continuous Cord hardware.

Great at keeping out light too

Energy Saving Side Tracks become a light-tight privacy enhancing system when fabricated with BlackOut Cellular Shade. This combination blocks over 95% of all incoming light, including damaging UV radiation. Great for nurseries and media rooms.

Web Color Selection:
Most web colors* come with end caps (on bottom rail) which match the side rail, not the bottom rail. For example, the white side track will have a white end cap and the golden oak side track comes with a golden oak end cap.
