Product Information

Full details

This New Edge Blinds 50cm Fineline Aluminium Black Curtain Track is designed for homeowners seeking a versatile and stylish solution for hanging curtains. Its key benefit is its flexibility, allowing it to be shaped for straight or bay windows and trimmed for a perfect fit, ensuring a seamless look. A potential caveat is that while suitable for light to heavy fabrics, very heavy drapes might require additional support or specialized installation methods.

FAQs

Can this track be used for bay windows?

Yes, the New Edge Blinds curtain track is designed to be flexible and can be hand-bent to follow the contours of bay windows.

What is the maximum weight of curtains this track can support?

The track is heavy-duty and suitable for light to heavy weight fabrics. For exceptionally heavy drapes, consider installing support brackets closer together.

How do I clean the black aluminium track?

Clean the track with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials.

Can I connect multiple tracks together?

Yes, multiple tracks can be joined to cover wider window spans. Ensure a secure connection between sections.

Is it possible to cut the track to a specific length?

Yes, the track is trimmable. You can cut it to your required size using a suitable saw for metal.

What tools are needed for installation?

Basic tools such as a drill, screwdriver, measuring tape, and a saw for trimming are typically required. Wall fixings may vary based on your wall type.

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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure and Plan: Determine the desired length and shape for your window. If needed, trim the track using a fine-toothed saw or appropriate cutting tool. Ensure you wear safety glasses.
  2. Shape the Track: Gently bend the aluminium track by hand to match straight, angled, or curved window frames. Avoid sharp creases.
  3. Install Brackets: Securely attach the provided mounting brackets to the wall or ceiling at appropriate intervals, ensuring they are level and spaced to support the curtain weight.
  4. Attach Track: Snap or slide the shaped track onto the installed brackets.
  5. Hang Curtains: Attach your curtain hooks or pleats to the glider runners within the track.

Compatibility:

  • Windows: Suitable for straight windows, bay windows, and curved applications.
  • Fabrics: Compatible with light, medium, and heavy weight curtain fabrics. For very heavy drapes, consider closer bracket spacing.
  • Mounting: Can be ceiling or wall-mounted, depending on your preference and window structure.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the track with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or light marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Operation: Periodically check gliders for smooth movement. If resistance is felt, ensure the track is not bent too sharply and there are no obstructions.
