FAQs

Can this track be used for ceiling mounting?

This track is designed for standard window frame mounting. Ceiling mounting would require specific adaptors or alternative solutions not included with this product.

What is the maximum weight capacity of the track?

The track is designed for light to heavy fabrics. For very heavy or theatre-style curtains, we recommend using additional support brackets to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

How do I clean the aluminium track?

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

Can I join two tracks together for a very wide window?

While not explicitly designed for joining, it may be possible with appropriate connectors. However, this could potentially affect the smoothness of the glide and is not recommended for optimal performance.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will typically need a tape measure, a pencil, a fine-tooth saw for trimming, a drill, a level, and a screwdriver. Appropriate wall fixings for your wall type will also be necessary.

Is the black finish prone to scratching?

The classic black finish is designed for durability, but like most finishes, it can be susceptible to scratching if subjected to sharp or abrasive contact. Handle with care during installation and use.

Troubleshooting

Curtains snag or do not glide smoothly.

Ensure the track is straight and free of debris. Check that curtain hooks are not bent or catching on the track. Verify that the track is securely mounted and not flexing under the weight of the curtains.

Track is difficult to bend to the desired shape.

Gently apply pressure, ensuring not to force it. For tighter curves, consider warming the track slightly (do not overheat) or seeking assistance. Ensure you are bending along the intended flex points.

Track appears to be sagging in the middle.

Increase the number of support brackets used, especially for longer windows or heavier curtains. Ensure brackets are installed at appropriate intervals and securely fastened to the wall.

Cutting the track results in a rough edge.

Use a fine-tooth hacksaw and a cutting guide for a cleaner cut. After cutting, use a file to smooth any rough edges that might snag the curtain gliders.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure your window carefully to determine the required length.
  2. Trim the aluminium track to the precise size using a fine-tooth saw.
  3. Position the track along the top of your window frame.
  4. Secure the track using the provided mounting brackets and screws (ensure they are appropriate for your wall type).
  5. Attach the curtain gliders to the track before hanging your curtains.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for most standard curtain types, from light voiles to medium-weight fabrics. For exceptionally heavy drapes, ensure sufficient support brackets are used.
  • Designed for both straight and bay windows due to its bendable nature.
  • Compatible with standard curtain hooks.

Care:

  • Wipe the track with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust.

  • Periodically check that the gliders move freely and clean any accumulated dust from the track groove.
