Product Information

Full details

The New Edge Blinds 125cm Fineline Aluminium Antique Brass Curtain Track is designed for homeowners seeking a flexible and stylish window treatment solution. Its key benefit is the smooth glide technology combined with easy bendability for custom fits, offering effortless curtain operation. A minor caveat is that it's not designed for reverse bending, requiring careful consideration for bay window configurations. This robust aluminium track features a classic antique brass finish, is suitable for various fabric weights, and can be trimmed to size, making it a versatile choice for both straight and bay windows.

FAQs

Can this track be used for reverse bay windows?

The track is designed for hand-bending to follow curves, but it is not intended for reverse bending. For complex reverse bay window shapes, careful planning and potentially multiple gentle bends will be necessary.

What is the maximum weight capacity of the track?

The track is described as heavy-duty and suitable for light to heavy weight fabrics. For very heavy drapes, ensure adequate bracket support and secure mounting.

How do I join two tracks together for a wider window?

While the product description doesn't specify a joining mechanism, you might consider using a compatible joiner piece or ensuring significant overlap with an additional bracket in the middle to maintain stability and smooth glide.

Can the antique brass finish be painted?

Painting over the antique brass finish is not recommended as it may affect the durability and appearance. If a different color is desired, consider purchasing a track in that specific finish.

What tools are needed for installation?

Basic tools like a measuring tape, pencil, drill (for pilot holes), screwdriver, and a saw (like a hacksaw) for trimming are typically needed. Ensure you have appropriate wall fixings for your wall type.

Is this track suitable for outdoor use?

The product is described for indoor home use. Exposure to outdoor elements may cause damage or affect the finish and material integrity.

Troubleshooting

Track is difficult to bend.

Ensure you are hand-bending gradually. Avoid forcing the bend, as this could damage the track. For sharper curves, consider making multiple, gentle bends rather than one sharp one.

Curtains snag or do not glide smoothly.

Check for any debris or obstructions within the track. Ensure the gliders are correctly inserted and not damaged. Verify that the track is perfectly straight or evenly curved, without any kinks.

Track sags under the weight of curtains.

Ensure sufficient mounting brackets are used, spaced according to the weight of the fabric. Confirm that the brackets are securely fastened to the wall or ceiling and that the track is fully seated on the brackets.

Trimming the track leaves a rough edge.

Use a fine-toothed saw (like a hacksaw) and a steady hand. After cutting, you can gently file down any rough edges with fine-grit sandpaper or a metal file for a smoother finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Smooth curtain operation thanks to the glide technology.
  • Durable construction suitable for heavy fabrics.
  • Can be trimmed for a perfect, custom fit.
  • Elegant antique brass finish adds a classic touch to decor.

Cons

  • Not designed for reverse bending, which might limit complex bay window installations.

  • Aluminium can be scratched if not handled carefully during installation.
  • Trimming requires a suitable cutting tool and precision.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure: Accurately measure your window width and desired track length. If necessary, trim the track using a suitable saw (e.g., hacksaw) for a precise fit. Ensure you have a flat surface for trimming.
  2. Bend (if applicable): For bay or curved windows, carefully hand-bend the track to the desired shape. Avoid sharp creases and do not attempt reverse bending.
  3. Mount: Attach the provided brackets to the wall or ceiling using appropriate screws and wall plugs for your surface. Ensure brackets are level and securely fastened.
  4. Attach Track: Snap or slide the track onto the mounted brackets. Ensure it is securely in place.
  5. Add Gliders: Insert the curtain gliders into the track. If using separate curtain hooks, attach them to your curtains.
  6. Hang Curtains: Attach your curtains to the gliders or hooks.

Compatibility:

  • Window Types: Suitable for straight windows, bay windows, and curved windows (within the bending limitations).
  • Curtain Weights: Compatible with light, medium, and heavy-weight fabrics.
  • Mounting Surfaces: Can be mounted on walls (plaster, brick, drywall with appropriate fixings) and ceilings.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the track with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check that the track is securely mounted and that gliders move freely. If any resistance is felt, check for obstructions or potential damage.
