Product Information

Full details

This 115cm Straight Aluminium Silver Curtain Track by New Edge Blinds is designed for homeowners seeking a flexible and stylish solution for hanging light to medium-weight curtains. Its key benefit is the easy, hand-bendable design that allows for perfect customization to fit both straight and bay windows, ensuring a snag-free operation thanks to its smooth glide technology.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight of fabric this track can support?

This track is designed for light to medium-weight fabrics. For very heavy curtains, a more robust system may be required.

Can this track be used for a ceiling mount?

Yes, this track can be mounted to the ceiling using appropriate brackets and fixings, provided the ceiling surface is suitable for secure installation.

How do I make a sharp corner for a bay window?

You can gently bend the track to create angles. For sharp corners, create a smooth, consistent curve rather than a sharp crease to maintain smooth glide functionality.

What tools are needed for installation?

Basic tools such as a measuring tape, pencil, drill (for pilot holes), screwdriver, and a hacksaw or metal cutting tool for trimming are typically required.

How often should I clean the track?

Regular dusting is recommended. Clean with a damp cloth as needed, approximately every few months, or if visible dirt accumulates.

Is it possible to join multiple tracks together?

While not explicitly designed for joining, you could potentially use connectors or overlap them slightly, but this may affect the smooth glide function at the join.

What is the warranty period for this curtain track?

Please refer to the product packaging or retailer's information for specific warranty details, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Curtains snagging or not gliding smoothly

Ensure the track is not kinked or bent too sharply. Check for any debris inside the track channel. Verify that the fabric is not too heavy for the track.

Track not holding its shape

Ensure the track has been bent gently and consistently. If used for a very tight curve, consider adding an extra bracket for support. Re-adjust the bend if necessary.

Difficulty attaching track to brackets

Ensure brackets are securely mounted and aligned correctly. The track usually clicks into place; check for obstructions preventing this.

Track appears to be sagging in the middle

This can occur with longer spans or heavier fabrics. Ensure brackets are installed at appropriate intervals (typically every 50-60 cm). Re-evaluate fabric weight suitability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly adaptable to various window shapes, including curves and angles.
  • Smooth operation reduces wear and tear on curtains.
  • Customizable length ensures a perfect fit.
  • Sleek silver finish complements modern and traditional decor.
  • Simple to install without specialized tools.

Cons

  • Best suited for light to medium-weight fabrics only.
  • May require additional support for very long spans.
  • Bending the track requires care to avoid kinks.
  • Trimming the track needs a suitable cutting tool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure your window carefully to determine if any trimming is needed.
  2. If trimming, use a hacksaw or appropriate metal cutting tool to cut the track to the desired length. Ensure the cut edge is smooth.
  3. Gently bend the track by hand to match the shape of your window. For bay windows, start by creating the angles, ensuring smooth curves.
  4. Mount the provided brackets at regular intervals along the track's intended path, securing them to the wall or ceiling according to the instructions.
  5. Click the track onto the mounted brackets. Ensure it is securely in place.
  6. Insert curtain gliders into the track. Attach your light or medium-weight curtains.

Compatibility:

  • This track is designed for light and medium-weight fabrics. Heavy, dense materials may strain the system.
  • It is compatible with both straight and bay windows due to its bendable nature.
  • Ensure your wall or ceiling mounting surface is suitable for securely fastening the brackets.

Care:

  • Clean the aluminium track with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the silver finish.
  • Periodically check that the gliders move freely. If resistance is felt, check for any debris in the track or re-bend areas that may have kinked.
