Slidetrack Blinds

Here at AdShutters, we make and install custom made motorised blinds for your home patio, verandah, or outdoor space.

It’s no secret that Australia can have some of the harshest weather conditions in the world. You want to be able to make the most of your outdoor areas.

Servicing the areas between Sydney’s Liverpool and Campbelltown, including Ingleburn and everything in between, we provide you with all your outdoor track blinds needs. If you’re on the sunny Gold Coast, we have you covered too!

If you are looking for outdoor products that are second to none, you have come to the right place. Our partnership with Slidetrack blinds enables us to provide you with an outdoor living area that you can use no matter the season.

Not only are they incredibly versatile and useful, they are a stylish and aesthetically pleasing addition to your home.

What Are Motorised Outdoor Blinds Made of?

Our Slidetrack blinds are made from PVC and can be customised with different levels of block-out fabric including 85%, 94%, and 99%.

Both clear and tinted PVC outdoor roller blinds are available, depending on the purpose and what look you would achieve.

Want to watch the kids play backyard cricket? Clear PVC blinds is a must. If your yard backs onto a busy road with traffic you may opt for a tinted PVC for improved privacy and ambience.

Slidetrack blinds are designed to be long-lasting and consist of minimal plastic mechanical parts.

Are PVC Blinds Good?

Slidetrack blinds are consistently built with quality materials ensuring they give long lasting results.

Slidetrack PVC blinds are design and patent protected so you know you are getting the real deal.

As PVC is a synthetic material, it is incredibly durable and can withstand strong winds and rains without rusting. As outdoor patio blinds in Australia tend to be exposed to high levels of UV light from the sun, PVC is the ideal material as it won’t warp, crack or fade.

It also has insulation properties that can trap warmth from your outdoor heaters in winter and keep the sun out to reduce heat in the summer.

Do Motorised Outdoor Blinds Use Batteries?

Our Slidetrack blinds are available in both motorised and manual versions. There are four different control systems for you to choose from including battery and hardwired versions.

Ozroll E-SolarPRO with ODS T-Series Motors: This module collects energy from the sun using a solar panel and stores it in the battery located at one end of the module. Customers control the system using an Ozroll E-Trans remote that operates the ODS T-Series 12v motor via the store energy with the touch of a button. Motors are driven by the power of Lithium-ion batteries in the controls. Direct sunlight is needed in order to operate the system with the E-SolarPRO.

240v Electric Motors: Hardwired 240v electric motors are available in either with a fixed wall switch or an RTS version operated by a 1ch or 5ch handheld remote.

Spring Assist with Ezylift: The manual Spring Assist is a standard choice for your outdoor blinds. The Ezylift offers a unique handle that provides both premium strength and effortless operation.

Gearbox: This traditional system is operated manually by raising the blinds with a crank handle that hooks into an eye outlet. This control must be fitted with extra deep channels.

Are Motorised Outdoor Blinds Worth It?

Think of the benefits motorised blinds would bring to your life! Imagine sipping a drink on a hot summer day and being able to adjust the blinds to perfectly block the sun as it moves across the sky… all without getting up!

This is also ideal for those who need extra assistance around the home. The more elderly members of your family can happily host gatherings at their home and enjoy the outdoors while easily keeping out the sun and wind.

Are Motorised Roller Blinds Waterproof?

Our Slidetrack blinds are made of the best quality PVC available which means they are some of the most water resistant blinds on the market.

The great thing about Slidetrack blinds is that they feature side restrained tracks that offer better rain management and pest protection.

Maximum width 6600mm
Maximum area 21m2

I can not recommend these guys enough! Great service and communication, and everyone I spoke to or met was lovely to deal with. We had bushfire shutters installed and I am so pleased with them - I smile every time I see or use them. I followed a recommendation, and am very happy I did. Also very competitive prices. Absolutely chuffed!

We recently had shutters installed on a complex rural site. Adam managed the installation around our build schedule and coordinated for all works to be resolved with clear communication. Thanks for the install, we trust the system will serve us well through a tough fire season ahead.

We had a small job, installation of bushfire shutters on a wide kitchen window and on a 2.4 metre high sliding glass door system. An initial contact via an internet search brought me to Adshutters and personally to Adam. He understood what was required, was very helpful, was quick in his responses and offered an incredibly competitive quote that could not be bettered. The installation team arrived on time and completed the job within 2 hours, tidied up after themselves leaving behind a neat bushfire protection system that was compliant, effective and at a great price. We were very impressed with the whole experience and am happy to recommend Adam and his team to all that might enquire.

Very happy with the job Adam and his guys have done for us on our recent renovations. To comply with bushfire regulations we had 13 Bal40 shutters installed. Adam worked with our builders, providing advice on how best to build them into the eaves and staged the install according to our build. He has also been very good to deal with if any problems have come up. And now that’s it’s all done (after initially not wanting shutters) they are one of my favourite things of our build. We chose the motorized option and due to how easy they are to use, we use them everyday to help regulate the interior temperature, they’ve negated the need for window coverings on most windows and they are amazing for providing darkness for bedrooms. Highly recommend Adshutters.

We purchased shutters for all of our windows just over 2 years ago. Adam and his team went above and beyond for us, visiting the property and taking measurements while the house was in the settlement process, so that shutters could be installed just days after we moved into the property. The installers were punctual, efficient, friendly and made sure to clean up any mess that was made as a result of the installation. The end result were shutters that look amazing, block out the light and heat when required and make our family feel safe and secure. I believe they actually improve upon the look of the house. Recently, we had a motor fail in one of the shutters. Adam sent one of his team around promptly to replace the motor at no charge. Very impressed with this service and the warranty offered on the motors. I have recommended AdShutters before, resulting in my sister having shutters fit to her house, even though she lived almost 2 hours from Sydney. I would not hesitate to recommend AdShutters to anyone. Don’t waste your time with anyone else. Adam prices competitively and the product is high quality and looks fantastic.

Adshutters recently installed shutters on our house. The experience was quick easy and the job was completed in a great time frame. The finished product is of high quality and the colour Adam suggested suits the house perfectly. I’m surprised how much heat and sound the shutters keep out. It’s a great product and the customer service was great, I would highly recommend this company to others.

We installed 5 bushfire shutters to our home during our recent renovations, two of which are 5 metres in length. Adam is knowledgeable and provided sound advice and input, working closely with our builders as to how the shutters can be installed.We needed the installation to be done just before Christmas 2016 in order to get our final certification. Adam and his team went out of their way during this busy period and installed the shutters on a Sunday to meet our deadline. He also came back subsequent to the installation to rectify some teething issues with the shutters.The shutters not only provide bushfire protection but also security and shield from the afternoon sun if required. Customer service from Adshutters is exemplary and we have an excellent product installed in our home. Adam Page is courteous, professional and I recommend him highly.
