Frequently asked questions about the Curtain Tracks category
What are Curtain Tracks and what are they used for?
Curtain Tracks are rails for hanging curtains that provide smooth, noiseless movement and even fabric distribution for neat folds. The category includes plastic and aluminium tracks, with ceiling and wall mounting options suitable for lightweight sheers to heavier drapes.
How to choose between plastic and aluminium curtain tracks?
Plastic tracks are lightweight and economical, suitable for light sheers and small windows; aluminium tracks are stronger, resist deformation and suit heavier curtains and frequent use. Choose aluminium for large spans or durability, plastic for lightweight, budget installations.
What types of ceiling curtain tracks exist and when to use them?
Ceiling curtain tracks are mounted directly to the ceiling for room division, concealed installations, or when wall mounting isn’t possible. They come in plastic and aluminium versions and are ideal for full-height curtains or tracks running across the room.
Where can I view photos of curtain tracks to check profile and design?
View photos on product pages within the Curtain Tracks category showing U-profile rails and models like 2005/300cm with colour options (white, beige, black) plus end caps and fixings. Check top products such as CURTAIN TREE U-SIDE and CURTAIN 2005 for examples.
What curtain track width is needed for different windows?
Select a track length wider than the opening by about 10–30 cm to allow folds. Available lengths include 120, 160, 200, 240, 300 and 320 cm; join sections if a longer run is required.
Which hooks and gliders fit curtain tracks and how to choose?
Choose hooks and gliders matching the track profile: U‑profile tracks require corresponding U‑gliders/hooks (e.g. for 2005 series). Check material (plastic or metal) and groove size compatibility listed in accessories.
Can curtain tracks be joined for large windows and how?
Yes — join tracks using compatible connector pieces and the same-series fixings to keep a smooth profile. Ensure groove alignment and adequate ceiling or wall brackets for stable support.
Which wall and ceiling fixings suit tracks and what to check?
There are wall and ceiling brackets in different lengths (e.g. 9–12 cm) and colours; choose based on mounting method and wall/ceiling thickness. Check load capacity and compatibility with your track model.
Which accessories are needed to finish a curtain track (end caps, covers)?
You need end caps, covers for wall fixings and decorative trims matching the track colour (white, black, beige, gold). These attach to profile ends to hide cut edges and fixings for a neat finish.
Are tracks from the range suitable for room zoning and ceiling-to-floor installation?
Yes — ceiling-mounted and long aluminium tracks are suitable for room zoning and ceiling-to-floor curtains, providing stable support for heavier fabrics. Use extended fixings and join sections as needed.
