Full details

FAQs

Can this track be used for ceiling mounting?

Yes, the track can be ceiling mounted provided appropriate fixings are used for your ceiling type.

What is the maximum weight capacity of the track?

The track is described as 'heavy-duty' and suitable for 'heavy weight fabrics'. For exceptionally heavy drapes, using more frequent support brackets is recommended.

How do I clean the black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the track. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

Can I join multiple tracks together for wider windows?

While possible, joining tracks may affect the smoothness of the glide. It's generally recommended to use a single, continuous track if possible, or consider a professional join if absolutely necessary.

What tools are needed for installation?

Basic tools such as a measuring tape, pencil, spirit level, drill (if needed for pilot holes), and a screwdriver are typically required. A hacksaw or appropriate cutting tool may be needed for trimming.

Is this track suitable for outdoor use?

This track is designed for interior use. Prolonged exposure to the elements may cause damage or corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Curtains snag or catch during movement.

Ensure the track is perfectly straight or smoothly curved without any kinks. Check for any debris lodged in the track. Verify that the curtain hooks or gliders are compatible and not damaged.

Track sags in the middle.

Ensure the track is adequately supported with sufficient mounting brackets, especially for longer spans or heavier curtains. Re-secure all mounting points.

Track is difficult to bend accurately.

Gently apply pressure, bending in small increments. Warming the track slightly with a hairdryer (low heat) may increase flexibility, but avoid overheating.

The track arrived damaged or scratched.

Inspect the product upon arrival. If damage is present, contact the retailer for a replacement or return as per their policy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure your window carefully, considering the desired overlap and width.
  2. If necessary, trim the aluminium track to the required length using appropriate cutting tools.
  3. Gently bend the track by hand to match the shape of your window frame (e.g., for bay windows).
  4. Secure the track to the wall or ceiling using the provided mounting hardware, ensuring it is level.
  5. Attach curtain hooks or glider rings to the track.
