Curtain Poles and Curtain Tracks
 
We have wide varieties of designs on our Curtain Poles and Tracks.

Curtain poles are not only functional, but can also enhance the appearance of a room in their own right. Unlike tracks, they allow you to choose from a wide range of curtain headings such as tab top and eyelet for a modern look and pencil pleat if you prefer something more traditional. Curtains2Bedding sells a wide range of poles online and more styles are available in our shops.

There are 3 of types of Curtain poles to choose from with their respective uses.
 
1.)Wooden Curtain Poles there are 2 types of wooden Curtain poles.
A.) Natural and Stained wooden Curtain Poles
B.) Painted and Special Finish wooden Curtain Poles

2.) Bay Window Curtain Poles

This kind of Curtain poles emphasize the layout of Bay windows and shows off the design and Shape of the bay window.

3.) Double Curtain Poles-

This pole is Secures the safety of the of the curtain because it strongly holds 2 curtains in place that is much heavier than the Normal.






Curtain Tracks and their Respective Uses

1.) Curtain Tracks Metal & Plastic-

This kind of tracks are usually painted white or Aluminum and this is usually used on heavier types of curtains and it can be also used in bay windows because they can be easily bent.


Aluminum is more expensive but stronger and more durable,
as well as being bendable. It is also suitable for light and medium weight fabric and gives you smoother drawing curtains. Corded and uncorded options are available with this type of track.




2.) Corded and Uncorded Tracks.


Corded tracks are threaded with nylon cord at the back which connects to a system of gliders and pulleys. You open and close the curtains by using a pull-cord, without having to handle the curtain, protecting more delicate fabrics from damage. Corded tracks are also useful for heavy curtains and for tall windows, making drawing your curtains easier.

Cutting and Bending Tracks.

PVC

PVC tracks are easy to cut with a hacksaw. When bending, work with care and make sure the track is at room temperature. Follow the pack instructions which will tell you the angle of bend you can achieve.

Aluminium

Aluminium tracks are also easy to cut with a hacksaw. Aluminium can be made into tighter bends but you will need to work carefully since, once bent, an aluminium track will not spring back. Follow the pack instructions and bend in stages, regularly checking the angle of the bend against the shape of the window.

Steel

Steel tracks cannot be bent.

Heavy duty aluminum

Tracks should be ordered cut to length or cut by professional fitters. Some can be bent outwards as well as inwards while others cannot be bent so check with an assistant before you order. Tracks can be bent to your own measurements or our professional fitters will bend them as part of our fitting service.


Fitting Tracks.

Brackets:

Most tracks come with universal brackets that can be fixed either to the wall or ceiling.

Wall fixing:

Fix the track to a wooden batten above the window frame, or fix to brickwork using long screws and raw plugs.

Ceiling fixing:

Attach track to ceiling joists or, if joists are not
in the right positions, to a wooden batten.
