About Curtain Rods products
ArchiPro’s catalogue of curtains, curtain holders and curtain accessories has been carefully chosen from reputable suppliers in Australia. This allows you to be confident that no matter what your choice is, you can be sure that you will receive a quality product when you shop through ArchiPro.
Curtain rods for Australian homes
ArchiPro’s catalogue contains a variety of curtain rod styles, including both single and double rod styles, track styles and tension curtain rods. Many of our suppliers also offer custom-made curtain rods. The range of curtain and drapery rods includes single, double and glide systems for different window treatments.
Single ringed curtain rod
A single curtain rod features a bar, usually attached to the wall at each end, with a number of rings on it. The curtains are sewn onto the rings.
Double ringed curtain rods
Double curtain rods have two rods, one behind the other. This allows for both light and heavy curtains to be installed. A double drapery curtain rod can accommodate a sheer layer with a heavier curtain in front.
Glide rods
Glide rods are a mix between curtain rails and tracks, and a ringed curtain rod. These run much more smoothly when used with heavy curtains.
Tension rods
Tension rods have a spring mechanism within them that causes the ends to push against the window frames or wall and hold the rod securely. No bolts or other attachment methods are required.
The advantages of high-quality curtain rods
High-quality curtain rods are often made out of more solid, stronger materials. This both gives them a certain gravitas and also allows them to hold heavier weights of curtains.
High-quality curtain rods are also often finished to a higher degree, with any manufacturing marks removed and, in the case of wooden curtain rods, surfaces waxed and polished to a low friction finish. This allows the rings to slide more easily over the curtain rail. Wooden drapery rods can also be finished with a smooth surface so the rings move with less resistance.
How to choose curtain rods that are right for you
Curtain rods vary depending on how much weight they are expected to carry. If you are using heavier curtains such as those made out of blackout material or thick brocade, you will want to use a fixed glide rod. Tension rods should be avoided when using heavy curtains, or in areas where children may play in the curtains. An extendable curtain rod can be adjusted to suit a window’s width, but its fixing points still need to support the curtain’s weight.
If you want to be able to choose between lighter and heavier curtains, a double rail rod or combination rod and track curtain rail would be most suited for you. For a curtain rod large enough to span a wide window, check that its support points are suited to the curtain’s weight.
