Plastic degrades and becomes brittle and weak when exposed to heat and UV rays. Also this particular design features a difficult-to-install set screw and clamp that is easy to lose. (note it is missing in the second bracket.) The bracket is bulky creating a light gap along the top of the rail.
EcoSmart Bracket features Stainless Steel for long life durability. It does not deteriorate with sun and UV exposure. The blind simply snaps into place for easy removal and re-installation — no parts to lose. Its low profile minimizes any light gap along the top of the rail.
Compare Cordlocks —
EcoSmart has the most durable
Industry Standard
EcoSmart Insulating Shades ™
So many ways to make a clutch — but what really works?
Cords rubbing on plastic produce heat and will actually wear a groove and lose their grip. Aggressive steel clamping mechanisms crush the cord over time causing cord breakage.
EcoSmart Cordlock is designed with a Delrin force-distribution bearing for long cord life and years of trouble-free operation. The uniquely designed Delrin cord clamping mechanism provides our industry’s most reliable and longest lasting cord operation. Also the cord lock can be quickly and easily changed from right to left control or from outward to inward lock.
Compare Cords — EcoSmart uses higher quality
Industry Standard
EcoSmart Insulating Shades™
Industry Standard Cord is only .9 mm. Breakage is common.
High Quality Cord Tightly woven,
heavy weight (1.2 mm) retains its shape and durability. And since it doesn’t get strained as much due to our advanced cord lock design, cord life is lengthened even more.
Compare Bottom Rails — EcoSmart self levels
Industry Standard
EcoSmart Insulating Shades™
A crooked shade like this usually will need to be returned to the factory for repairs. How many weeks will you be without your shade?
EcoSmart Easy Level - you can self level by hand as in the picture or raise to the top using the tassel and it will level itself—every time.
Compare Energy Efficiency — EcoSmart has Side Tracks
Industry Standard
EcoSmart Insulating Shades™
No Side tracks
Energy Saving Side Tracks provide maximum energy efficiency and additional room darkening. Increases R-value by 17%. Available with double cell shades and inside mounts only.
How do the Energy Saving Side Tracks work?
The sides of the bottom rail are notched. The notch extends through the sides of the shade fabric. The side rail is a durable two piece part made to resist sun degradation. The side tracks attach to both sides of the window frame so the shade glides up and down on the side track.
Compare Fabric — EcoSmart fabric is sealed
Industry Standard
EcoSmart Insulating Shades™
Industry Standard fabrics may have a similar appearance, but can be a tight or open “array” of fibers. None seal the face fabric. They allow air to flow through the fabric lowering the insulation value, collecting dust, dirt and grime.
EcoSmart Fabric is a tight “array” of polyester fiber and is sealed. The combination repels dust, stains, and insulates better. Sealed fabric keeps your house more comfortable all year round and saves on heating and cooling costs. EcoSmart’s double cell construction provides the best in strength and durability and energy efficiency.
