Side Moving Blind System

Blinds that come from the side.

A motorised tension blind for triangle, trapezoid, gable, and angled windows.

About the System

The Side Blind System provides a motorised tension system for complex window shapes and angles. Side pull blinds are pulled from one side to the other via constant tension cables, ideal for triangle and trapezoidal shaped spaces as well as angled square window shapes. It's a compact system with few visible details.

The system is tailored to specific project requirements and uses spring tension and support rollers to keep the fabric taut during operation and in finished position — resulting in a continuous smooth surface.

Living Shade makes these to measure with automation ready for installation. The constant tension system with Somfy motors is the ideal solution.

Custom designed for awkward spaces.

Where standard blinds and curtains can't follow the geometry, our side moving system takes over. Built for the windows other shading solutions can't reach.

Custom designed

Made for difficult shapes

  • Ideal for gable, rake, and sloped window designs that don't suit traditional blinds or curtains
  • Somfy motorisation for ultimate ease and control
  • High-performance fabrics that filter light, reduce glare, and withstand harsh Australian conditions
  • Install inside for stylish interior shading or outside to block heat before it enters your home
Applications

Where they fit best

  • Gable windows
  • Glass triangles above doors or windows
  • High raked windows in living or stairwell areas
  • Trapezoidal and angled square window shapes

Constant tension that lasts.

Continuous constant tension is achieved through the constant boxes. Constant boxes can be mounted on either side of the window, giving you flexibility on installation and finish.

We're the trusted Australian manufacturer behind the design — so you get local support, expert advice, and fully custom solutions that last. Our system is backed by years of proven performance in greenhouses and residential installations.

Engineered here in Australia.

Every Side Blind is made to measure in our facility. We've adapted the technology that controls climate in commercial greenhouses and translated it for residential and architectural use — built tougher than you'd expect from a typical interior blind.

The result is a tension blind system that holds its shape, runs smoothly, and lasts the kind of decades that justify the investment in a custom-shaped window covering.
