Curtain Rails

Curtain Rails are very practical and with their function, you should easily find a curtain rail to suit your needs. Although not as pretty as a curtain pole, curtain rails are more versatile. They are easily cut down to size using a junior hacksaw although this is not recommended with curtain rails containing draw strings. If you do not own a junior hacksaw these can be purchased from a local iron mongers for a small cost.

The curtain rail is available in many colours ranging from White, Gold, Silver and Antique Brass to co-ordinate with any of the colour schemes in your home. They are available in a variety of diameters which enables you to accommodate the weight of your curtains. Smaller diameters are for lightweight curtains up to 6.5kg, medium diameters are for light to medium weight curtains up to 11kg and the larger diameters are suitable for medium to heavy weight curtains of 11kg and over.

Curtain Rails can also be corded, which is particularly helpful if you have high ceilings and windows. They can be corded on either the right hand side or the left hand side, depending on preference. Although as stated previously, it is important that the correct length is chosen as it is not advisable to trim these to size once they have been corded.

The Curtain Rail is also an ideal solution to Bay Windows. They are easily bent to shape by hand and are suitable for most bay windows. They can also be reverse bent to allow the curtains to return into the living room. Curtain Rails can be wall or ceiling fixed hence their durable nature.

These are also available as a Made to Measure item. We can arrange to send you a measuring guide and if completed and returned, we can forward a no obligation quotation to you.
