FAQs

Can I use this track for heavy blackout curtains?

Yes, the aluminum construction is designed to handle heavy-weight curtains, provided the support brackets are mounted securely.

How do I cut the track to size?

You can trim the track to your desired length using a junior hacksaw. Ensure you file any rough edges after cutting to prevent the gliders from catching.

Does this track come with wall fixings?

The kit includes eight support brackets that can be used for either top or face fixing. Note that you may need to purchase wall plugs appropriate for your specific wall material.

Can this track be mounted to the wall?

Yes, the included supports are compatible with both ceiling (top) and wall (face) mounting applications.

What is the purpose of the bending inserts?

The bending inserts are essential for maintaining the internal dimensions of the track while you bend it, preventing the metal from crimping or collapsing.

Is the track finish paintable?

The track comes with a durable powder-coated silver finish, but it is not specifically designed to be painted.

Troubleshooting

Curtains are sticking at the track joint

Check that the joining piece is perfectly aligned and that the two tracks are flush; file down any sharp metal burrs from the cut edges.

The track is not holding its shape after bending

Ensure the bending insert tool is fully seated inside the track channel while bending; this provides the necessary structural support to prevent unwanted deformation.

Gliders are falling out of the track

Ensure that the end caps are securely tightened and that the track ends were not bent in a way that widened the channel opening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation begins by determining whether you require top or face fixing. For top fixing, secure the brackets into your ceiling joists; for face fixing, ensure you are anchoring into wall studs or using appropriate heavy-duty wall plugs. When joining the two 150cm pieces, ensure the internal connector is seated firmly to prevent the gliders from snagging at the joint. For maintenance, keep the track channel clear of dust and debris. If you notice the gliders moving slowly over time, a light application of a silicone-based lubricant inside the track can restore smooth operation. Always inspect brackets annually to ensure they remain tight against the wall or ceiling.
