Extendable Curtain Track's Instructions

Measuring Instructions

1. Decide Your Mounting Style

  • Ceiling Mount: Best for a clean, modern look or floor-to-ceiling curtains.

  • Wall Mount: Ideal for windows with space above the frame (use optional wall brackets).


2. Measure the Track Width

  • Measure the window width.

  • Add at least 10–15 cm to each side so the curtains can open fully without blocking light.

  • Example: For a 120 cm window, order a track that extends to at least 150 cm.

(Our extendable tracks can easily adjust to fit your desired width — no cutting required.)


3. Check Clearance

  • Ensure there is enough space above and around the window for the brackets.

  • If using double curtains (sheer + blockout), confirm there’s enough projection from the wall.

 Installation Instructions

Step 1 – Mark Bracket Positions

  1. Hold the track (or use a measuring tape) at the chosen height.

  2. Mark bracket positions at both ends and one in the centre for longer tracks (>2 m).

  3. Make sure all marks are level and evenly spaced.


Step 2 – Fix the Brackets

  1. Drill pilot holes at the marked points.

  2. Insert wall plugs if fixing into masonry or plasterboard.

  3. Secure the brackets with the screws provided.
    (Ceiling brackets are included. Wall brackets are available separately.)


Step 3 – Extend & Position the Track

  1. Adjust the track to the desired width by sliding the inner rail outward.

  2. Place the track onto the installed brackets and ensure it locks securely in place.

  3. Attach the end caps to both sides.


Step 4 – Hang Curtains

  1. Insert gliders into the track if not pre-installed.

  2. Hook curtain headings (pleated or tape-top style) onto the gliders.

  3. Ensure even spacing and smooth gliding along the entire length.


Step 5 – Final Check

  • Slide curtains open and closed to ensure smooth, quiet movement.

  • Tighten all screws and confirm track alignment.

  • Clean the surface with a soft dry cloth — avoid harsh cleaners.


Additional Tips

  • Use extra brackets for heavy or wide curtains (over 2.5 m).

  • Do not over-extend beyond the maximum recommended length.

  • Optional wall-mount and double brackets are available at a small additional cost.
