Curtain track is divided into two categories: bright track [without curtain box] and dark track [with curtain box and hidden]. Bright track is also decorative track, also known as decorative curtain rod: there are solid wood, aluminum alloy, iron and other rods. Dark track: aluminum alloy, plastic [nano], to distinguish the quality of the curtain track, it needs to be identified from the material and manufacturing process.

Types of curtain rails

1. Let’s talk about the dark track first, a product that is most used in the home. It is divided into
Aluminum alloy series and plastic [so-called nano] series, aluminum alloy track depends on the wall thickness of the track. Generally, the wall thickness of the high-quality track is more than 1 mm. Too thin track has no strength and is easy to deform and affect the rolling of the pulley. Surface treatment There are spraying and electrophoresis. The surface treated with electrophoresis is recommended, which is smooth and durable. The color is the second. Because it is installed in the curtain box, the color has no effect on the home. It mainly depends on personal preference. The second is the pulley. The material of the pulley is ABS and POM. We recommend using the POM pulley. POM is a super wear-resistant resin and has a long service life. There are ordinary iron rings, 304 stainless steel rings, and POM resin rings. The iron rings are not recommended because they are rusted. The rails and pulleys are determined. The most important thing is the mounting bracket. A good mounting bracket is very durable. Use 1 It is made of steel plates with a thickness of millimeters or more, and it is easy to install and disassemble with multi-layer spraying. It is a solid foundation for track installation. The above is the basic selection method of dark track. Due to the short use time of plastic track, it is easy to age, so it is generally not recommended for home use.

3. Decorative rods are now popular in 19-22 thin rods. The materials are iron and aluminum alloy rods. It mainly depends on the surface treatment. The service life and feel of iron rods are not as good as those of aluminum alloys, but the decorative effect is relatively strong. Aluminum alloy rods Generally, it is more delicate and has a long service life. It is also necessary to pay attention to the installation bracket, which must be made of steel plate above 1.2. The decorative rods are all wall-mounted. The requirements for the installation bracket are higher than ordinary dark rails. Please purchase pay special attention.
