When it comes to achieving seamless and elegant window treatments, installing drapery tracks inside TrackTrim can truly elevate your space.
Preparing the Drapery Track
Before beginning the installation, it’s essential to properly prepare your drapery track. This ensures the track remains securely in place, particularly in areas that bear the most weight from the drapery.
KEY STEPS:
Spacing the Fixing Brackets:
One of the most common questions is, “How far apart should the fixing brackets be placed?” The answer: 7 to 8 inches apart. This spacing evenly distributes the load and prevents sagging, ensuring perfect alignment for your drapery.
Drilling Holes for Fixing Points:
On the back of the track, mark and drill holes for the fixing points. Reinforce the bracket area where the curtain stack holds the greatest weight for added stability.
Securing the Fixing Brackets:
After drilling the holes, position the fixing brackets, rotate them into place, and lock them using a grub screw.
Pro Tip: Reinforcing the curtain stack area is crucial. This extra step provides long-lasting support for a flawless installation.
What is the Drapery Track Protector?
The Drapery Track Protector is designed to safeguard the track during installation. It serves as a temporary shield to prevent damage while you attach the drapery track to the TrackTrim.
To use the protector:
1. Slide the protector onto the front of the drapery track.
2. Drill the track into the TrackTrim.
3. Once the installation is complete, remove the protector.
Wrapping Up
Installing drapery tracks inside TrackTrim might seem daunting at first, but with the right tools, preparation, and guidance, you can transform your window treatments from ordinary to extraordinary.
