FAQs
What is the rail made of?
The rail itself is made of durable PVC, with an oak effect cover.
Does it come with hooks or clips?
Yes, the product includes your choice of hooks or clips.
What is the width of the rail?
The rail width is 68mm.
Can I cut the rail to a custom size?
While PVC can be cut, it is not recommended as it may affect the structural integrity and the fit of the oak cover. It's best to choose the closest available length.
What fixings are needed for installation?
You will need appropriate screws and wall plugs suitable for your ceiling type (e.g., plasterboard, wood, concrete). These are not included.
How do I clean the rail?
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Is this suitable for heavy curtains?
It is suitable for most standard curtains. For very heavy blackout or thermal curtains, ensure adequate support brackets are used and check the curtain weight specifications.
Troubleshooting
Curtain snagging or sticking
Check for any burrs or debris inside the rail channel. Ensure hooks/clips are smoothly attached to the curtain and glide freely. Verify the rail is straight and securely mounted.
Rail sagging in the middle
Ensure sufficient mounting brackets have been used, especially for the 180cm length. Check that the brackets are securely fastened to the ceiling and the rail is properly seated in the brackets.
Fixings not holding securely
Use appropriate wall plugs and screws for your specific ceiling material (e.g., plasterboard plugs, wood screws). If mounting on plasterboard, consider using stronger toggle bolts or mounting into ceiling joists.
Oak cover not fitting correctly
Ensure the cover is aligned with the rail and pushed on firmly. Check for any obstructions preventing it from sitting flush.
