What Type of Curtain Rod Can I Need for a Curved or Bowed Window?
From Victorian turrets to modern apartments, curved windows are available in all shapes and sizes. Some primary considerations for selecting the right curved curtain rod system would be the mounting brackets, the angle of the curved window, whether you want traverse rods, along with the type and weight of the curtains you intend to hang. Custom-made, professionally installed curved poles are only one option. An assortment of curved rod styles are available at home shops and drapery stores, so you may hang them or execute the job.
Flexible Rods
A flexible curved rod acceptable for do-it-yourself installation is easy to trim to length and bendable by hand to fit the contour of any window. Easy mounting brackets are included. This kind of rod is lightweight, so it’s a fantastic pick for hanging stationary nominal to medium-weight drapes.
Hinged Rods
Another style of curved rod uses multiple straight rod sections that are combined with hinges. Using a hinged rod you’ll be able to divide the window arc to even segments and hang curtain panels from every section. Tiebacks in the hinge points make it easy to open the drapes. Sturdy hinged poles can hold even heavy window coverings.
Traverse and Draw Rods
With flexible traverse rods, regular pull cords draw curtains throughout the window. A flexible ceiling monitor is another sort of pull bracket. Small pins hold the curtains in the track, and you simply slide the drapes along the track to close or open them.
