Some customers have reported problems with reflected light bouncing inside the channels/pockets and working its way around the the material. We now include some of our AVFF01 Adhesive Backed Blackout Framing Fabric to line the components with to eliminate the problem.

Factory Painted finishes: While both the anodized aluminum and the white painted finishes can be scratched we do feel that it is best to opt for the anodized surface due to the potential for scratching while cutting and preparing for fit into the window. A minor scratch on anodized aluminum is far less noticeable than on a painted surface. The pieces could also be painted on site before or after final installation of the pocket system.
