Household blinds come in many forms. Perhaps you like Venetian blinds, Roman blinds or vertical blinds? If so, then you should fit them and be happy with your choice. However, there is something to be said about the sheer versatility that roller blinds offer that should not be overlooked. They look great in any room, have simple operating mechanisms that rarely go wrong and come in a huge variety of designs to suit all interior décor styles. Additionally, track-guided roller blinds, such as those made by Ziptrak, have some additional benefits. What are the extra plus points of window treatments like Ziptrak blinds that you can expect?

Greater Height Control

One of the great things about roller blinds is that they go up and down and will sit at the height that you deploy them. With track-guided blinds, the height that you set them to will be stuck to much more consistently. This comes about because these products have guidance rails at either side that stop your blinds from blowing in the breeze. As such, even if the wind picks up through your open window or doorway, the height of the blind will not shift around as the bottom of the window treatment begins to sway.

Increased Durability

Another positive thing about the sort of track-guided blinds that are made these days is that they will last longer. Although indoor blinds don't get exposed to that much wind, outdoor ones certainly do. This is when their tracks really come into their own because they prevent the fabric from being buffeted and ageing prematurely. In some cases, inferior roller blinds can even rip or become detached from their mountings because the wind has picked up. With track-guided products, though, the whole thing is more secure and will last longer as a result. That makes track-guided blinds perfect if you live close to the coast or in an exposed location.

Better Privacy

Controlling the height of blinds effectively is important for blocking out the sun's unwanted rays. However, there is also a secondary benefit of an accurate track-guidance system. In short, it means being able to block out lines of sight from neighbouring properties with more confidence. This makes track-guided blinds a good choice if you like to sunbathe in your garden without being overlooked, for example. Simply lock them in place once the desired height has been set and don't feel inhibited by passers-by potentially seeing you.
