In a market crowded with outdoor blind and system options, one solution is proving itself to be the clear leader: Urban Track™.
Aussies have always loved their backyards. The days of the Hills Hoist taking centre stage have moved aside and backyards have become a retreat, an extension of the indoors, a place to enjoy endless summer nights around the barbeque and cool winter evenings warming up around a fire.
From market umbrellas and shade sails to pergolas and patios, there are a myriad ways to make the most of backyard spaces. Track guided blind systems are becoming increasingly popular to enclose outdoor spaces and maximise living areas and, with several options available, the range is establishing itself as the premier choice for functionality, aesthetics, and cost effectiveness.
URBAN TRACK™ external track guided blind systems were designed and developed in Australia to ensure superior performance under the harsh conditions. Providing all season climate control, the Urban Track range is easy-to-use and smart, helping you save on energy bills. Urban Track is sturdy, with components made from rust free aluminium, making the systems low cost to maintain.
2 TYPES OF OPERATION
Available in 2 types of operation, Urban Track blinds can be locked off in any position and the spring operated system is available with a unique, patented central locking system. This unique central locking mechanism is accessible from inside and outside.

Bottom rail weather seal options:
- 60mm heavy duty bottom rail
- 80mm keder-concealing bottom rail
Option of 3.2mm diameter keder or weldable zip side retention on skins — creates smoother, more even pull up of blinds.
5 of 5Features & Benefits
- New 80mm bottom rail with keder inside the rail, hidden from view, preventing unsightly mismatch of keder and mesh colours.
- Bottom rail end caps have keder track extended into side channels. This prevents blinds curling at bottom corners.
- New idler end reducers with stainless steel ball bearings for motorised and spring operated blinds. This provides much smoother operation of the blind with less resistance and wear on components.
- The introduction of slimmer 3.2mm spline side keder minimises the wrinkling and uneven rolling of blinds and provides much improved appearance of the blind. Side channel openings are reduced to 1.2mm to cater for this.
- The introduction of 4.8mm keder for both roller tube and bottom rail use, eliminates the need for additional product and simplifies production.
- A removable receiver block for side channels allows ample clearance and easy installation of the skin.
- 40mm wide reducers on both motor and idler ends allow for increased tolerance in winding up of blinds.
- The adjustable height fixing bracket in the pelmet is ideal to easily fix those installations that are not quite level.
- New 85mm roller tube reduced to 63mm to allow for use with standard fittings—makes heavy duty roller use for blinds over 4 metres simple.
