Steps
How to Install Your Curtain Track
Bracket requirements:
Joining the Tracks
Before attaching your brackets, drilling pilot holes is recommended to avoid your architrave from splitting
A. Identify the Matching Tracks: Each track piece is labeled with letters (e.g., A to A, B to B) to ensure you join the correct sections. Locate the labels before proceeding.
B. Connect the Tracks: Take the track joiner and slide it halfway into one end of the first track. Then align the labeled end of the second track with the first and slide it onto the joiner until the tracks meet seamlessly in the middle.
Determine your bracket positions
Every window is different. You need to figure out how many brackets you need, where they will be placed, and how they will be attached to the wall.
Bracket requirements:
The end brackets must be right at the end of the track
The remaining brackets should be no more than 700mm apart, centre
Joined Tracks require a bracket right over the join.
A. Identify which brackets can be attached to your wall studs
1. Locate studs using a stud finder. Your window should have studs either side of it.
2. Place a bracket next to the track inline with each stud it can be attached to
B. Identify which other brackets are required
Using the bracket requirements above, place the remaining required brackets next to the track. These can be installed using ramset hollow wall anchors.
1. For example: If your studs are more
than 700mm apart, or not in the end
bracket locations
Install Brackets
A. Mark your wall for each bracket at
the exact height you measured for
your track to sit. For most curtains, this
will be the drop measurement you supplied.
You can check your order details.
B. Position the brackets so that the top of the bracket is inline with your first marks
C. Mark the two outside oval shaped holes, in their center, this is where your screws will go
D. Drill pilot holes/attach hollow wall anchors
1. For hollow wall anchors: Attach hollow wall anchors into position following the product instructions
2. For stud locations: Using a 3mm drill bit, drill your pilot holes
E. Attach your brackets tightly using your drill and screws provided
Install the track
Your curtain track is designed to simply clip into the bracket
A. Prepare the Brackets
A. Open the swing arm on all brackets to allow space for the track to be inserted.
B. Lift the Track into Place
A. With two people (or more for very wide tracks), carefully lift the track into position.
B. Place the track into two brackets towards the outside (not the end brackets, especially for wide tracks)
C. Partially close the swing arms on these brackets to hold the track loosely in place.
C. Adjust the Track Position:
A. Slide the track left or right to align it correctly.
B. Ensure that a bracket is positioned directly over any track joins for proper support
D. Secure the Track
A. Fully close the swing arms on the brackets holding the track in place. And then lock the track into all remaining bracket.
B. For curtains with returns: Clip the return clip into the outside hole on top of the end brackets which will have returns.
C. Attach your bracket covers
