FAQs

What is the Smooth Glide technology?

Smooth Glide technology refers to the internal design of the track that allows curtain runners or gliders to move effortlessly along the track, preventing snags and ensuring quiet operation.

Can I use this track for a bay window?

Yes, the track is hand-bendable and can be shaped to fit bay windows. However, it requires careful manual bending to achieve the desired curve.

How do I cut the track to size?

You can trim the track using a fine-tooth hacksaw or a similar cutting tool suitable for aluminium. Ensure you have a steady hand and measure accurately before cutting.

What type of fabrics can this track support?

This track is designed to support light, medium, and heavy curtain fabrics.

Does the track come with mounting hardware?

The track typically comes with the track itself and gliders. Mounting brackets and screws/wall plugs may be included, but it's advisable to check the product packaging or description for specifics, as you may need to provide your own suitable fixings for your wall type.

What is the best way to clean the black aluminium finish?

Wipe the track with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the finish.

What is the length of this specific track?

This product listing is for a 150cm length track.

Troubleshooting

Curtains snagging or not gliding smoothly.

Ensure the track is perfectly straight and free of kinks. Check for any debris or obstructions within the track channel. Verify that curtain gliders are properly attached and not damaged.

Track bending unevenly or kinking during installation.

Gently bend the aluminium by hand, making small adjustments rather than forcing a sharp angle. Support the track evenly along its length during bending. For complex curves, consider professional installation or consult the manufacturer's guidelines.

Track appears too short or too long after measuring.

Re-measure the window carefully. If too long, use a suitable cutting tool to trim it down. If too short, consider purchasing an additional track or a longer option if available.

Brackets feel loose after installation.

Ensure you are using appropriate wall plugs for your wall type (e.g., plaster, brick). Check that screws are fully tightened into the wall plugs.
