Product Information

Full details

The New Edge Blinds 120cm Fineline Aluminium Curtain Track in Antique Brass is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish and functional window treatment solution. Its primary benefit is its extreme flexibility, allowing easy adaptation to both straight and bay windows, coupled with a smooth glide mechanism for effortless curtain operation. A potential caveat is that while it's trimmable, precise cutting is required for a perfect fit, and heavy-duty fabrics may require secure mounting.

FAQs

Can this track be used for ceiling-mounted curtains?

Yes, the track can be mounted to the ceiling using appropriate ceiling fixings, provided the structure can support the weight of the track and curtains.

What is the maximum weight capacity of the track?

The track is described as heavy-duty and suitable for light to heavy fabrics. For very heavy materials, we recommend using more support brackets during installation.

How do I cut the track to size?

A fine-tooth hacksaw or a metal-cutting saw is recommended for clean cuts. Ensure the track is securely supported while cutting to prevent damage.

Can the antique brass finish be painted or altered?

While technically possible, painting over the antique brass finish is not recommended as it may affect the durability and appearance of the finish and potentially void warranties.

Is the bending process permanent?

Yes, once bent to a specific curve, the aluminium will retain that shape. It's advisable to mark your desired curve before making permanent bends.

Are mounting brackets and screws included?

The product description does not specify if brackets and screws are included. Typically, these are sold separately to allow users to choose the appropriate fixings for their wall type.

How does the smooth glide technology work?

The technology refers to the design of the runners within the track, which are engineered to allow curtain hooks to slide friction-free along the track's length.

Troubleshooting

Curtains do not glide smoothly.

Ensure no debris is in the track runners. Check that the track is not bent too sharply or kinked. Confirm that the curtain hooks are not catching on the track.

Track appears to be sagging.

Increase the number of mounting brackets used. Ensure fixings are securely installed into wall studs or appropriate anchors.

Difficulty bending the track into a curve.

Warm the track slightly (e.g., with a hairdryer on a low setting) to make it more pliable. Bend gently and incrementally to achieve the desired shape without kinking.

The antique brass finish is discolored.

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For persistent marks, consult a specialist cleaner for metallic finishes.

Cons

  • Requires careful bending for custom shapes to avoid kinks.

  • The antique brass finish may not suit all modern interior styles.
  • Installation may require specific tools not always included.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The track is designed for straightforward installation. Measure your window space and trim the track to the desired length using a suitable saw if necessary. For bay windows, gently bend the track by hand to match the window's angle, taking care not to create sharp creases. Secure the track to the wall or ceiling using appropriate brackets and fixings (sold separately), ensuring they are spaced adequately, especially for heavier fabrics. Attach curtain hooks to your chosen fabric and slide them into the track's runners.

Compatibility: This track is compatible with most standard curtain types, from light sheers to heavier drapes. It is suitable for both straight and curved window applications. Ensure your chosen mounting hardware is suitable for your wall type (e.g., drywall, plaster, brick).

Care: To clean, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the track. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the antique brass finish. Periodically check that all mounting screws are secure.
