Product Information
Full details
This Double Curtain Ceiling Rail Track from B&Q is designed for homeowners looking for a practical and stylish way to hang multiple layers of curtains or blinds. Its primary benefit is providing a clean, modern solution for layering window treatments, allowing for better light control and privacy. A potential consideration is its PVC construction, which may offer less rigidity than metal alternatives for very heavy fabrics. Key features include its double track system, customizable hook or clip options, and a cherry cover for a finished look, all within a 68mm rail width.

FAQs
Can this rail be used for wall mounting?
This product is specifically designed for ceiling mounting. Wall mounting may not be possible or secure without additional specific hardware not provided.
What is the weight limit for each track?
Specific weight limits are not provided. For best performance, use with standard-weight curtains. Avoid overloading the tracks, especially with very heavy fabrics.
How do I cut the rail to size?
The PVC rail can typically be cut to your required length using a fine-toothed handsaw. Ensure the cut is straight and clean for a proper fit with the end covers.
What type of fixings are included?
The product usually comes with the rail and the cherry cover. Specific mounting hardware (screws, wall plugs) may not be included, as these depend on your ceiling type.
Can I use this for more than two layers of curtains?
The design is for a double track system, allowing for two layers. It is not intended for mounting additional tracks on top of each other.
What are the dimensions of the rail?
The rail width is 68mm. The length will depend on the specific product variant purchased.
Troubleshooting
Rail is sagging in the middle.
Ensure the rail is adequately supported by the ceiling fixings. Use additional fixings if necessary, spaced according to the rail's recommended intervals. Verify that the ceiling material can bear the weight.
Curtains are difficult to slide.
Check for any obstructions on the track or within the hooks/clips. Ensure the hooks/clips are correctly attached to the curtain and are not twisted. Light lubrication with a silicone-based spray might help, but use sparingly.
Fixings do not seem secure.
Use appropriate wall plugs and screws for your specific ceiling type. If mounting on plasterboard, consider using heavy-duty plasterboard fixings or mounting into ceiling joists.
Cherry cover does not fit properly.
Ensure the track has been cut cleanly if you shortened it. Re-align the cover and gently push until it snaps into place. Check for any debris preventing a snug fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This rail is designed for ceiling mounting. Ensure you have the appropriate screws and wall plugs for your ceiling type (e.g., plasterboard, concrete). Mark the fixing points, drill holes, insert plugs, and then secure the rail using the provided fixings. The track can typically be cut to size with a fine-toothed saw if needed. Attach your chosen hooks or clips to the curtains and then slide them onto the tracks. Finally, attach the cherry cover.
Compatibility: Compatible with most standard curtain types. The choice of hooks or clips allows for versatility with different heading styles. Ensure your ceiling structure can support the weight of the rail and curtains.
Care: Clean the PVC rail with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. Periodically check that fixings are secure and that the hooks/clips are functioning correctly.
