Home Interior Decorating Curtain Tracks for Window Treatments
Types of Curtain Tracks
Tracks
Tracks are generally fixed to the wall above the window, and the curtains have hooks looped into the header tape, which fit onto clips on the track and allows them to be opened and closed.
They can be made of plastic or metal with a powdercoat finish. They can be hidden under pelmets or valances or be the same colour as your wall, so that they blend in.
There are many different variations, some can have curved attachments for following the contour of a bay window for example, others can be hung from the ceiling for heavier fabrics and ceiling height windows, some are extendable so that they can adjust to the window size.

Some tracks can be cord controlled, which means that you pull the cord and the curtains open & close. |

Flexible TrackIt is possible to purchase flexible tracks, which are ideal for bay or bow windows if you want to follow their line with the curtains. They are made of PVC and are very strong.

It is slightly expandable and is fixed by eyelets screwed into the wire at each end, which are then fixed to the hook. Curtain wire is used for lightweight fabrics, sheers and nets, that only have a short span to cover and do not need to be drawn. Visit our website on Curtains, Drapes and Accessories now! |
