The Narrowest Side Channel for Blackout Blinds in The World 

The Narrowest Side Channel for Blackout Blinds in The World 

Here at Umbra, we don’t compromise aesthetics for performance. As far as we’re concerned, the two are as important as each other. 

That’s why we’ve worked hard to design our systems to look good whilst meeting your shading and blackout needs.  

There’s no better example of this than our 24mm zip-retention side channel.  

24mm side-channel 

This side channel, specifically designed for our KuroLok system, is the narrowest zip-retention side channel on the market.  

At just 24mm wide AND deep, this aluminium profile is perfect for properties where aesthetics are important, such as high-end residential homes or hotel bedrooms. This side-channel is only available on electric blinds.  

This channel features the same flexible zip insert as the standard 35mm channel, keeping the fabric securely in the channels. This means that the fabric won’t blow out of your side channels and get damaged even on a windy day with your window open and the blinds closed.

Why choose KuroLok?  

Zipped-edge fabric retention is what sets KuroLok apart.  This removes the challenge, and associated maintenance issues, of fabric coming out of the side channels on traditional blackout and cassetted blinds. 

The fabric being fully retained down both sides also allows for blinds to installed at up to 30o off the vertical and still function perfectly; an ideal solution for sloping glazing.  The headbox and side channels can also be recessed into walls or ceilings for the ultimate built-in look. 

KuroLok blinds are simple and fast to install and are robustly built to provide a maintenance-free blind.  With all fixings concealed and slim side channels securely guiding the fabric, any roller blind can be enhanced by KuroLok.  It’s not only for blackout; a wide range of fabrics can be used with this system.
