It’s Smart to get Sidetracks with EcoSmart!
Energy-Saving Sidetracks for our EcoSmart Cellular Shades are THE must-have addition for all those light sleepers and brave 3rd shift folks out there!
With most window shades, there’s always going to be some light on the edges of the shades between the frame and the shade, itself. If there wasn’t, your shades wouldn’t operate properly! With the added sidetracks SOOOO much more light is blocked along the edges of the shades.
“How Complicated is it to add Sidetracks to shades that have already been installed?”
IT’S EASY! Our sidetracks use adhesive for easy alignment and installation. They’re also simple to remove (without peeling paint!) if you need to make adjustments.

Sidetracks, are specially designed vertical guides installed on either side of your window frame. At EcoSmart Shades, we use our customized sidetracks to increase the barrier against sunlight, heat, and cold. They are SO easy to install and they maximize the already outstanding R-Value provided by our EcoSmart Cellular shades.
And since sidetracks help insulate your windows from the elements, energy savings are totally a given. For example, our Cell-in -Cell Blackout Shades with sidetracks can reduce heat gain or heat loss by an additional 370% as compared to an unshaded single-pane window(EEK! naked windows??!), resulting in a significant chop to your monthly energy bill.👎
We Got Our Hands on an Infrared Camera!
And this was the result. First, we measured the window glass with no shade on the window. Then, we installed one of our EcoSmart Cellular Room Darkening Shades and measured the glass temperature again. Finally, we added Energy Saving Side Tracks. Mind blown, right??
Improved Insulation
The major benefit of side tracks is the significant improvement in your home’s insulation. Side tracks seal off gaps between the window shades and the frame, helping to reduce air leakage and drafts. This makes your home more energy-efficient and helps save you money on heating and cooling bills.
Improved Light Control
Sidetracks eliminate the gaps on the sides of window shades where light often seeps through, enhancing your ability to control the amount of light that enters your space.

Increased Privacy
You got nosey neighbors? 👀Sidetracks provide an additional layer of privacy to your home. This makes them an excellent addition to bathrooms, bedrooms, and other spaces where a little extra privacy is appreciated.
Noise Reduction
By creating a seal around your window, sidetracks help dampen external noise, creating a quieter home environment. And sounder sleep. 💤💤
They LOOK Grrrrreat!
With a sleek design, sidetracks enhance the overall look of your windows. Their discreet adhesive stick-on streamlines the appearance of your shades, creating cleaner lines.
If you’re looking for a solution that combines style with energy efficiency (and much more), sidetracks are an excellent choice to add to your EcoSmart Cellular shades. Our sidetracks perfectly complement our already energy-efficient window shades, helping you achieve maximum insulation, light control, and privacy.
Our cellular shades outperform nearly every type of window covering on the market!
