Troubleshooting
Curtains snag or drag during operation.
Ensure the track is not bent too sharply in the affected area. Check for any debris or obstructions within the track channel. Verify that the curtain hooks are properly seated in the gliders.
Track does not hold its shaped curve.
Gently re-bend the track, ensuring you are not creating sharp creases. If the aluminium becomes too soft from repeated bending, consider securing the shape with additional brackets if possible.
Track appears to be sagging in the middle.
Ensure brackets are installed at appropriate intervals for the weight of your curtains. For longer spans or heavier fabrics, consider adding an extra support bracket in the center of the track.
Difficulty cutting the track to size.
Use a fine-toothed hacksaw or a metal-cutting blade. Ensure the track is firmly held and cut slowly and steadily. Smooth any rough edges with a file.
