I found the tear drop shape of the carrier too wide at the top.
The square shape is better because it is smaller in width at the top
therefore bringing the drape pleats closer together and allowing them to stack at the sides with less width.
Track system seems like it will work well. Customer service was excellent. Hooray for Kim, who helped us a lot to get what we needed at a reasonable cost.
The connection is smooth and easy to install but the split ring connector between the carriage and the hook for the curtain is extremely flimsy and an average wind will pull it apart easily.
I purchased these in mild terror about how complicated (and anger inducing) the install may be for my husband because our ceiling is already a finished situation (not a current construction) and we had no idea what was under the sheetrock. However, to our joy and amazement, the install only took about 3 hours start to finish (including cleanup). We were fortunate to find that there was plywood under the sheetrock so we didn’t need to do anything special to be able to secure the tracks. Just had to cut out the two channels (we did two single tracks) and do a tiny bit of retexturing on the ceiling (thank God)!
Also, “Baby Yoda” was insanely helpful! I absolutely recommend purchasing from this company and will very likely end up buying more of these tracks!
Simple to install, but pretty flimsy track. Maybe would be ok for some sheer curtains. Once I put the our curtains on, both the track and brackets were bending and the brackets look like they're about to snap. When I push the curtains to one side, the track bends even more, and I'm basically waiting for it to break. I ordered a heavier duty track to replace this one, which I can't return since I had it cut to a specific length =/.
On this client project, I had a corner window that needed drapes that needed to be operational. After a very patient and knowledgeable chat session(thank you baby yoda - I settled on 2 tekno25 traverse rods- mitered on each end to meet in the corner. I chose the matte black rod with glass finials-and it works beautifully. The rods are excellent quality. The carriers move smoothly and overall delighted with this solution. I highly recommend this product and The Curtain Rod Connection!!!
Easy install and everything is great quality.
A few suggestions for options.
1. Option for different color metal hooks. Husk are just a silver metallic color. Would be cool if I could get hooks that matched my fixture color. Currently a brushed gold, but there are all kinds of fixture colors for bathrooms….being able to match metals would just help everything to tie in better.
2. Hook extensions. The curtain when installed is so close to the ceiling that the hot air raising in a shower causes the curtain to suck in on you. Having the option to hang a curtain 6-12” from the track would probably aid in this effect. Again with an option to choose different metals.
3. Track color. Would be nice to have a more matted color vs the high gloss. Track blends well with the ceiling but the gloss can draw your eye up, and I don’t want to draw attention to the track.
Thank you and have a great day.
Thank you for being so attentive.
This will all work out great.
I like the sturdiness and the look of this traverse rod. I have been searching for videos in how to put this thing on the wall and the pictures and instruction manual that was sent to me was very inadequate and even shows parts that didn’t come with my order. I usually watch videos online to have an idea on how to install. This product is quite expensive and it takes time to figure out to make it work. I am literally still trying to hang the traverse part for I was able to install the part to the wall and I do hope this time the traverse part will coooperate and I won’t ruin the system.
Five stars for the entire process! Every part of my purchase, from being directed to the product that best fit my needs via online chat to rapid-fast email support for an exchange, was "brag level" awesome. The curtain rod is just what I expected and looks great.
Was disappointed that it didn’t come with enough screws and toggles to cover every hole. Also the seam did not match up cleanly. Other than that it has a clean profile and slides easily.
Quality products, I’ve ordered various products several times. I always have a positive experience and customer service is top notch with questions and/or concerns. Extremely quick shipping also. I’m on the east coast.
Thanks for helping me get the right rod and master carrier for my project. I appreciate the time you took answering my questions. It turned out great!
I purchased a wave fold track set and tape to complete a guest room curtain project. The rod was easy to install and fit perfectly in the opening. Curtain rod connection helped me with measurements and assembly information. The curtains look so professional and I saved so much money doing this easy project myself!
I’m new to curtain tracks and really didn’t know what I needed for my project. I called their number and the guy (sorry! I forget his name) couldn’t have been more helpful and patient. He really listened to what I was trying to do and then walked me through all the parts that I would need and made suggestions that were very helpful. The rod and components came in great condition. I haven’t installed them yet so I can’t tell you how they’ve been working, but I suspect they'll be great.
Looks great, works perfect. Initial order arrived damaged by the shipper. Vendor replaced it no questions asked.
Great from order process to installation and customer service via email. Well put together system that is sturdy and super easy to install if you’ve ever put anything into a stud or drywall.
The rod is sturdy and fairly easy to install. The wavefold system is forgiving and easy to figure out. The precut/splicing was nicely done. I did one 235” rod and another at 118”, and they look great!
We've ordered a few things from curtain rod connection and have always been extremely satisfied. Although it can be hard to figure out what you need on-line, they usually make it pretty easy. This piece (with curves at each end) was expertly shipped in protective packaging and arrived in perfect condition after a few days. The sparse instructions were enough for me to mount it on the wall easily, and everything works as it should and looks great. No more grommets for me!
