Our range of contract curtain tracks are of a much higher grade of aluminium to something that would be used in a domestic environment. The main reason for this is that in a commercial space a client just cannot afford for something to go wrong. Our range is heavy duty aluminium and benefits from toughened gliders for simple movement, the brackets are tough aluminium for extra strength
The main method of deciding on a track is the weight tolerance that the curtain tracks can tolerate. By using a simple weight chart a client can decide. We always recommend our heavy weight tracks as then you know it can tolerate more than enough unless your curtains are ridiculously heavy.

Use of Heavy Duty Curtain Tracks

As the tracks are made to measure all you need to do is open the packaging and install the brackets. the key to a curtain track operating perfectly is a good fixing for the brackets. As the track is only as strong as the bracket when secured to the wall. So always fit with the appropriate wall plug and fixing.
