SURE SHADE ® Basic 100F:
The blind slat profile SURE SHADE ® Basic 100F is 100mm wide and can only be controlled by ladder braid and has flexibility of movement under wind load or use. This excessive flexibility of the blind slat has a significant drawback as the slat can either rotate around the ladder string or distort and flatten against the glazing in the wind causing excessive instability, movement, noise and block out of light.
SURE SHADE ® Basic 80C L1 W:
The SURE SHADE ® Basic 80C L1 W slat profile is 80mm wide and is of a more robust construction than the 100F, due to a rolled edge, and can be manufactured to be more wind stable as compared to the 100F. However ladder braid 80C slat construction, under wind loading, will still attempt to rotate around the ladder string.
