Measuring & Installation Guide

Part 1 – How to Measure

1. Decide Your Mount Type

You can install this gliding track as either:

• Ceiling mount (flush to ceiling) – best for a clean, modern look and maximum curtain drop

• Wall mount – using the supplied wall brackets

Choose the mount before measuring.

---

2. Measure Width Required

A. For Single Curtains

• Measure the window width.

• Add 15–20 cm on each side (total +30–40 cm) to allow curtains to stack off the window.

B. For Double Curtains (Sheer + Blockout)

• Measure the same way; track length remains the same.

• Only the brackets change (double brackets if required).

---

3. Check Fitting Clearance

Make sure there is enough space for:

• Curtain pleats (S-fold, pencil pleat, or pinch pleat)

• Track gliders to move freely

• Cornices/pelmets (if any)

Minimum recommended clearance:

• Ceiling mount: 5 cm from wall

• Wall mount: 8–12 cm projection (depending on curtain thickness)

---

4. Track Cutting (If Needed)

Your track can be cut to size with a fine-tooth hacksaw.
Ensure to:

• Cut from the opposite side of the metal end cap

• Keep the cut straight

• Reinsert the end cap firmly after cutting

Part 2 – How to Install the Track

Step 1 – Mark Bracket Positions

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

2. Mark bracket positions:

   • Two at each end

   • One in the centre for tracks longer than 2 m (add more for extra-long tracks)

3. Use a spirit level to ensure all marks are straight.

4. For wall mounting, check you have enough projection for curtain pleats.

Step 2 – Fix the Brackets

For Ceiling Mount

• Position the flat bracket directly on the ceiling.

• Drill pilot holes.

• Insert wall plugs (if mounting to masonry or plasterboard).

• Screw brackets firmly into place.

For Wall Mount

• Use the supplied wall brackets.

• Adjust bracket projection if required.

• Drill and secure with screws.

Tip: Ensure the brackets face the correct direction so the track can slide in and lock.

---

Step 3 – Attach the Track

1. Hold the track under or onto the bracket.

2. Slide the track into the open channel on the bracket until it clicks or locks.

3. Check that the track:

   • Sits flat

   • Is locked securely

   • Moves slightly but does not fall out

For very long windows:
Use a joiner piece (optional accessory) to connect two tracks seamlessly.

---

Step 4 – Insert Gliders & End Stops

1. Slide the gliders into the track slot.

2. Insert the required number for your curtain fullness.

3. Install the end stop on each side to prevent gliders from sliding out.

4. Reattach the metal end caps.

---

Step 5 – Hang Your Curtains

Depending on curtain heading style:

Pencil Pleat / Pinch Pleat

• Insert curtain hooks into pleat pockets.

• Hook onto the track gliders.

S-Fold / Ripplefold (if converted)

• Use S-fold gliders & tape (optional accessory).

• Clip gliders into the tape in even spacing.

---

Step 6 – Final Adjustments

• Slide curtains across the track to ensure smooth operation.

• Tighten all screws.

• Ensure all end caps and end stops are firmly locked.
