Troubleshooting
Curtains are catching or snagging at a specific point
Check if the track was bent too sharply, causing a deformity, or if there is a burr at the cut edge that needs filing.
The track is sagging in the middle
Add additional mounting brackets to decrease the distance between support points, especially if using heavy curtains.
Gliders are difficult to insert
Ensure the track ends are not pinched from the cutting process and verify the gliders are oriented correctly in the channel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Measuring: Measure your window width twice before cutting the track. Ensure you account for any overlap or finials if applicable.
Cutting: Use a fine-tooth hacksaw to trim the track to your desired length. File the edges down to ensure the gliders pass over the cut point without catching.
Bending: Use slow, steady pressure when bending the track for bay windows to avoid kinking the metal profile.
Mounting: Use appropriate wall plugs for your specific wall material (brick, drywall, or timber). Space brackets every 50-60cm for maximum support.
Maintenance: Periodically wipe the track with a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. If the gliders become sluggish, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the inner track channel, but avoid oil-based products which may attract debris.
