Product Information

Full details

This 4.5m white bendable curtain track by Nets At Home is designed for homeowners seeking a versatile solution for light to medium weight curtains, especially for uniquely shaped windows. Its key benefit is its ability to be manually bent and reverse-bent to fit bay or bow windows without tools. A minor caveat is that it's best suited for lighter curtain fabrics due to its bendable PVC construction.

FAQs

Can this track be used for heavy blackout curtains?

This track is designed for light to medium weight curtains. For heavy blackout curtains, a more rigid track system might be more suitable to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

How do I cut the track if it's too long?

While the track is designed to be bent, it can be cut to size using a fine-toothed saw. Ensure the cut edge is smooth to avoid snagging curtains.

What is the minimum curve radius I can achieve?

The track can be bent significantly by hand. For tight curves, experiment gently to find the smallest radius that maintains the track's integrity and smooth curtain movement.

Do I need to pre-drill holes for the supports?

Yes, you will need to drill holes for the Universal Keylock Supports. The type of drill bit and screws will depend on your wall or ceiling material (e.g., plasterboard, masonry).

Can I connect multiple tracks together?

This track is typically used as a single continuous piece to maintain its bendable integrity. Connecting multiple pieces might compromise the smooth operation, especially on curves.

Is the white color prone to yellowing over time?

The PVC material is generally UV resistant, but prolonged direct sunlight exposure may cause slight discoloration over many years. This is typical for most plastic materials.

Troubleshooting

Track is difficult to bend.

Gently warm the PVC slightly with a hairdryer on a low setting, or try bending in smaller increments. Ensure you are bending into the desired curve, not forcing it.

Curtain gliders are sticking.

Ensure the track is smoothly bent without kinks. Check that the glider hooks are correctly attached to the track and that no debris is obstructing their path.

Track is not holding its shape.

Ensure sufficient Universal Keylock Supports are used, especially on longer or more curved sections. Make sure the supports are securely fastened to the wall or ceiling.

Curtain is not secure at the ends.

Verify that the end stops are correctly installed and that the built-in hooks are engaged with the curtain fabric.
