Traditional Curtain Track

A traditional curtain track uses drapery hooks, and works best with the following curtain headings:

These curtain tracks are usually made from sturdy plastic with runners already hanging from the track when you purchase it. Be sure the pack also included the hardware needed to secure the track to the wall.

Curtain hooks are first inserted into your heading tape, then attached to the runners on the track. Some tracks include a cord system whereby you pull the cord to open and draw the curtains. Ideal if you don't want to handle the curtain fabric each time. Most tracks these days are so streamlined that although you see the track when curtains are drawn back, they are quite unobtrusive to the eye. This is the type of track you would also use if making a pelmet heading over your curtains where a double rowed track can be purchased.
