FAQs

Can I use this track for heavy curtains?

No, the Speedy Streamline PVC Curtain Track is specifically designed for light to medium-weight curtains only. Using heavy curtains may cause the track to sag or the gliders to malfunction.

How do I cut the track to fit my window?

You can easily cut the PVC track to your desired length using a sharp utility knife or a fine-toothed saw. Always measure carefully and make clean, straight cuts.

Is this track suitable for bay windows?

Yes, its flexible PVC construction allows it to be easily bent by hand to fit the contours of bay windows, as well as straight windows.

What's included when I purchase a track over 210cm?

Tracks over 210cm typically come in two pieces and include a track connector to join them seamlessly.

Do I need special curtain hooks?

The glider hooks have built-in hooks and eyelets, so you can either hang your curtains directly onto the glider or use standard curtain hooks that connect to the eyelet underneath the glider.

Can I paint the track a different color?

While it is technically PVC, painting flexible plastics can be challenging, and the paint may crack or peel when the track is flexed or exposed to temperature changes. It's recommended to use the track in its original white finish for best durability and appearance.

How many gliders are included with the track?

Info needed: [Standard glider count per meter or per package length is typically provided by the manufacturer. Example: Approximately 10 gliders per meter of track.]

Troubleshooting

Curtains are not sliding smoothly or are catching.

Check the track for any obstructions or debris. Ensure all gliders are correctly inserted and not twisted. Lightly lubricate the track with a silicone-based spray if friction persists. Verify that the track is securely fixed and not sagging at any point.

Track is losing its curved shape in a bay window.

Ensure the track is adequately supported with mounting brackets or screws at regular intervals, especially along curves. Insufficient support can cause the flexible PVC to straighten over time. Add more fixing points if needed.

Curtains feel too heavy for the track.

This track is designed for light to medium-weight curtains. If your curtains are heavy, they may cause the track to sag, the gliders to stick, or even dislodge the track. Consider replacing with a more robust track system designed for heavy-duty use.

Track over 210cm has a visible join.

While the connector is designed to be discreet, a slight seam may be visible. Position the connector in a less conspicuous area of the window, ideally between two curtain panels or behind a pelmet if possible. Ensure the connector is installed tightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Measure and Mark: Measure your window opening precisely. If installing in a bay window, pre-bend the track by hand to roughly match the window's contours.
  2. Cut to Size: If necessary, use a sharp utility knife or fine-toothed saw to cut the PVC track to your desired length. Ensure cuts are clean.
  3. Position Mounting Points: Hold the track against the wall or ceiling at your desired height. Mark the screw positions through the pre-drilled holes in the track or use appropriate brackets. For longer tracks (over 210cm), connect the two pieces using the provided track connector, ensuring it's positioned discreetly.
  4. Drill and Fix: Drill pilot holes if required and secure the track using appropriate screws and wall plugs for your wall type. Ensure the track is level and securely fastened at regular intervals to maintain its shape.
  5. Insert Gliders and End Stops: Slide the required number of gliders into the track. Then, insert the end stops at each end. The end stops will help hold your curtain edges.
  6. Hang Curtains: Attach your light to medium-weight curtains using the built-in hooks/eyelets on the gliders or with traditional curtain hooks.

Compatibility

  • Curtains: Compatible with light to medium-weight curtains only. Avoid heavy, interlined, or very wide curtains that may put excessive strain on the track.
  • Windows: Suitable for both straight and bay windows due to its flexible nature.
  • Mounting Surfaces: Designed for ceiling or wall mounting on most common interior surfaces.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: To clean the track, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild detergent if needed. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the PVC.
  • Maintenance: Regularly check that all mounting screws are tight and that the gliders move freely. If gliders become stiff, a light silicone spray can improve movement (avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust).
