In general terms, a curtain is a piece of cloth hung to windows to avoid the exposure of sunlight.
In earlier days curtains were used as a protection from the light and it didn’t matter what kind of fabric, what kind of design it was but gone are those days where curtains were considered as a piece of cloth. In this world of modernization, curtains are given utmost importance when it comes to home décor. People have become smart and they don’t mind spending time choosing the right curtains for their home. Genuinely, the time spent is worth it because your home represents your personality and curtains are those game-changers that will enhance the beauty of your home.
At Curtain spa, we have curtains in a wide range of designs, colors, patterns, and fabrics to choose from and match with your home décor. Not just curtains, today people have also become choosy in selecting the curtain tracks as well. Just like curtains, curtain tracks also come in different types. Before understanding the type let us understand what is a curtain track, and why is it needed.
Curtain tracks:
Curtain tracks are small items used to hang the curtains. They usually provide support to the curtain rod and the curtains. Curtain tracks are usually made up of plastic or metal and they almost get hidden when used with gliders. Curtain tracks are the modern window treatment which helps in the smooth operation of curtains. Curtain tracks are also known as traverse rods.
Curtain tracks are available in different sizes, patterns, colors depending upon your curtains and wall. Some of the benefits of curtain tracks are they are easy to use, easy to install, versatile, and easy to adapt.
Different types of curtain tracks available at Curtain spa are as follows :
- Extendable curtain track: These curtain tracks are by far the best and commonly used. As the name suggests you can purchase these at standard sizes and can be extended to a range depending on the width of the curtain. The most amazing feature of extendable tracks is that there is no chance of any human error. Even if there is any difference in the measurement of the width there is nothing to worry about because you can extend it. These are available in both hand-drawn and cord-drawn( cords are available at the end of drapes). This protects curtains from getting dirty.
- Fixed curtain tracks: Unlike extendable curtains, these curtain tracks come in standard sizes or they are made according to the width of the curtains and the measurements you give. They have slides at the back which can hold the hooks. An advanced version of these tracks is called motorized tracks that have the same functionality as these but work with remote control. The remote draws the curtains for you. These are usually helpful when the curtains are at a height also helpful for differently-abled people.
- Ceiling mounted tracks: These tracks are designed for the ceiling instead of the wall and are usually used for windows that reach up to the ceiling. It usually works best for heavy fabrics as it is mounted very strongly to the wall. At curtain spa, we have the best quality of ceiling-mounted tracks available that will give a classy look to your home just the way you wanted.
- Curtain wire: Exactly opposite to the ceiling-mounted tracks these are used for lightweight fabrics. These are usually coiled wire with plastic coating. The type of curtain tracks you choose depends on the type of curtains you have. Like the curtain-wire tracks works well with the sheer curtains and the net.
Apart from the above types at curtain spa we also have double tracks that are used when you use two sets of curtains. We also have narrow, wide, multiple, cord operated curtain tracks.
