Header Style Match Rod Track
Tips for Pleated Curtains Hang with Lora Track
Note:
The pleated curtains come with hooks that can be adjusted up and down by about 3 inches. The Track height is about 1 3/4 inches. We can cover the track by adjusting the hook.
When the curtain header covers the track, it may cause the fabric to turn outward slightly, which can compromise both the appearance and the smooth operation of the curtains.
For optimal performance and aesthetics, we do not recommend installing the curtains in this manner.
Instead, we suggest hanging the curtains below the track. This approach offers several benefits:
· Smooth Operation: Ensures the curtains open and close effortlessly without obstruction.
· Improved Appearance: Allows the curtains to hang naturally, maintaining a clean and polished look.
· Enhanced Durability: Reduces strain on the curtain mechanism, extending its lifespan.
