Product Information

Full details

This 70cm Straight Aluminium Silver Curtain Track by New Edge Blinds is designed for homeowners looking to easily enhance their window treatments. Its key benefit is the flexible, lightweight aluminium construction that allows for easy bending into shape, making it suitable for both straight and bay windows, coupled with smooth glide technology for snag-free operation. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for light and medium-weight fabrics, and it may require trimming for a perfect fit on all windows.

How do I cut the track to size?

You can trim the track using appropriate cutting tools for metal. Ensure you measure accurately before cutting.

What is the maximum weight capacity of this track?

While specific weight limits are not provided, it is designed for light to medium-weight fabrics. For very heavy curtains, a sturdier track might be more appropriate.

What is the finish of the curtain track?

Does this track come with gliders or hooks?

The product description does not specify if gliders or hooks are included. Typically, curtain hardware is sold separately or with specific curtain types.

Troubleshooting

Track is difficult to bend into shape

Ensure you are bending the track gently and evenly. Avoid forcing sharp angles. If it's very stiff, slight warming might help, but proceed with caution to avoid damage.

Curtains snag or catch when moving

Check for any debris or obstructions inside the track. Ensure the gliders or hooks are properly seated and not damaged. Make sure the track itself is not warped or bent unevenly.

Track does not fit the window after trimming

Re-measure the window and the trimmed track carefully. Consider if a different trimming approach or additional bracket placement is needed for a snug fit. Ensure trimming was done cleanly.

Silver finish appears dull or scratched

Clean the track with a soft, damp cloth. Minor scratches may be hard to remove from aluminium; handle with care during installation and use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure your window carefully and determine if the 70cm length is suitable or needs trimming.
  2. If trimming is required, use appropriate tools to cut the aluminium track to the desired size.
  3. If shaping for a bay window, gently bend the track to match the window's angle. Avoid over-bending or creasing.
  4. Install the provided brackets at appropriate intervals along the track and secure them to your wall or ceiling according to standard curtain track installation practices.
  5. Attach the track to the installed brackets.
  6. Insert curtain hooks or gliders into the track.

Compatibility:

  • Window Types: Suitable for straight and bay windows.
  • Fabric Weight: Best for light and medium-weight curtains. Not recommended for very heavy drapes.
  • Mounting: Compatible with standard wall or ceiling mounting hardware (ensure appropriate fixings for your wall type are used).

Care:

  • Clean the track periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and maintain its finish.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the silver coating.
  • Ensure curtains move freely; if resistance is felt, check for obstructions or debris within the track.
