TrackStar Shade
TrackStar is a folding shade used to cover non-vertical sloped and curved glass surfaces such as those found in greenhouses, sloped windows, and barrel-domed glass.
The fabric is guided by a series of roller assemblies that travel smoothly along curved tracks through the radius of the opening. The fabric will cascade down the opening between the mullions suspended by inserted rods that are connected to the track by custom designed roller assembly. Trackstar shades are custom designed to fit each opening, and all projects are engineered.
This kind of shade is lifted from the bottom, creating the folded fabric that is characteristic of evenly folding shades, and is used in situations where the slope of the glass is sufficient to use gravity in bringing it down.
Both manual and motorized lifting systems are available.
