FAQs
Can I use this track for heavy blackout curtains?

Does it work on curved windows?
Yes, the track is hand-bendable, making it suitable for bay windows and other curved configurations.
Are mounting screws included?

Can this be ceiling mounted?

Troubleshooting
Curtains are sticking while sliding
Check for any dust or debris inside the track channel. A quick wipe with a dry cloth usually restores smooth operation.
The track is uneven after installation
Ensure that the mounting brackets are spaced evenly and that the track is fully clicked or screwed into every bracket along the window length.
Curtains feel too heavy for the track
Verify the weight of your fabric; this track is designed for light to medium-weight materials. Consider removing heavy linings or switching to lighter drapes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic household tools, including a drill, measuring tape, and a hacksaw if trimming is necessary. Before installation, measure your window width carefully and cut the track to length using a fine-toothed hacksaw. When bending the track for bay windows, ensure you apply slow, consistent pressure to avoid kinking the metal. To maintain, periodically wipe the track with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust buildup, ensuring the gliders remain clean and free to move. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may dull the silver finish over time.
