How does it work?
The blinds with side tracks works by allowing the fabric from the cassette box roll down into the side stracks. In order to help with light leakage, brushes are found within the side channels. Small pips aid in keeping the fabric within the side rails. These small pips are better than the standard zipper solution, because the zipper can become stuck or the welding can be wrongly done and it can wrinkle and that looks unsightly.
In the pictures above you can see the side channels in which the fabric runs when you pull down the blind, and the pips on the side of the fabric. They are designed like this so there is no gap for the light to come through.
The ultimate solution for blackout effect:
The cassette blinds provide a blackout blinds solution in domestic homes that are almost total blackout blinds. I’d like to put an emphasis on the fact that it only makes sense if our Cassetted system is used in conjunction with a blackout fabric. Because the fabric makes up the great majority of any kind of blind it is important to make sure your fabric selection is right. Blackout fabrics come in a wide variety of colours, textures and other great properties. Of particular note, the cassette blinds with side rails are award winning, providing an aid to sleep. In addition, these blackout blinds provide an effective solution for cinema rooms.
Versatility compared to the Capital Fascia:
The Cassetted system is specially designed for closing any gaps between the blind and its hardware around the window. An important aspect that influences the blackout property of both systems is how the top of the blind is sealed. So as the name suggest, the Cassetted system utilises a cassette that houses a roller blind inside, there are no brackets that you’d normally use to fit a standard roller blind, instead, the cassette is fitted in or outside of the recess, flush with the surface closing any possible gaps.
The Benefits of Cassette Roller Blinds
Insulation:
Cassette blinds offer plenty of insulation benefits, as the additional coverage creates a barrier between the window and the outdoors. This extra insulation means that your home will be better regulated temperature wise during summer and winter, retaining warmth or cool air is needed. This can then have a positive impact on your energy bill as you won’t have to use air cooling systems as often.
Privacy Control:
With the added benefits of a cassette header and side channels, it’ll be virtually impossible for people outside to look into your home. Whereas other blinds may have weak points from the side, cassette blind can be fitted with side channels to block all viewpoints.
Protects the Fabric:
A cassette blind system can help stop dust and muck from forming on your blinds and is especially desirable in areas where low maintenance blinds are preferred. These headers will keep the blinds dust free when rolled up, which makes them a great choice for those suffering from allergies.

In conclusion:
So, if you’re looking for a system that gives the best blackout performance the Cassetted Roller Blind is a great choice. With its prominent header box, the Cassetted system is ideal for both residential or commercial rooms.
Please note:
1 - These cassette blinds provide the greatest darkness amongst other blind types you can find in the market, however it is not sold on the basis that it offers a full 100% darkness in a room when blind is closed. Some light can still come in at the sides, at the top and the bottom, specially if the window recess is not perfectly square where the cassette blind is installed.
