Advantages of high-quality curtain rails and tracks

It’s imperative that you buy high-quality modern curtain rails and tracks as they play an important structural and stylistic role. These fixtures are responsible for holding up curtains, which can often be quite heavy. Failure to secure them safely could lead them to break, causing damage to furniture or decorative objects and even personal injury. Save yourself the unneeded worry and invest in the best quality you can. Curtain brackets are also important too as they’ll be doing much of the heavy work.

How to choose curtain rails and tracks that are right for you

Start with thinking about the type of curtains you’d like to install in the space. Your preference might dictate the decision for you since some types of curtains can only be fitted on tracks, while others are made to sit on rails. Some types can be adapted for both, so you still have a considerable amount of flexibility. Exposed rails can be a stylistic feature incorporated into the overall decor, especially if you go with materials like wood, stainless steel or coloured metal. Curtain tracks might be the best choice if you have high windows and heavy curtains since their pulley system can assist with parting and drawing the curtains smoothly.

What type of curtain goes on a track?

Curtains come in a few different header types. Most of them are suitable to be fitted on a track system, including those with the popular pencil pleat, pinch pleat and ripple fold header styles. These types of curtains can be attached to the small eyelets that hang from the tracks with hooks you’ll find attached to the back of the headers. Tab top, rocket top and eyelet curtains can only be fitted to a curtain pole.

How do I choose the right size curtain track?

When choosing the size of your curtain tracks or curtain rods you should start with taking measurements of the window width. You’ll want the curtains to have room on either side of the window to overhang when they are open wide. At least 15 cm extra on each side is advised. You can otherwise add 10 per cent of length on either side of the window, as a rule, to start with. Adjust this based on the type of curtain fabric you’re using.  Light sheer decorative curtains won’t need as much room, while heavy drapes require more space to bunch together. Once you’ve worked out these dimensions, they can inform the size of your curtain track.

Where should curtain tracks be placed?

Curtain tracks should ideally be placed about 25 cm from the top of the window to allow ample room for the curtain headers to sit comfortably and for the curtains to slide freely along the track. The added height also gives an elegant feel to the overall look. You might consider ceiling-concealed tracks a chic option to make the windows a featured highlight of the room.

How wide should curtain rails be?

The same rules for calculating the width of curtain tracks apply when determining the width of curtain rails. Add 15 cm extra on each side or 10 per cent of the overall length depending on what looks best.
