Common Questions

• Standard curtains have approximately 3.75 to 1″ of a gap from the bottom of the track to the top of the curtain.

What are the dimensions of the track?

• Yes, the track is made to be field cut on site using a hack saw or sawzall.

• The track is modular in design and will arrive in pieces that slip together and bolt together with set screws.

• The track should be supported approximately every 5' with a track support. The farther apart the track supports, the greater the deflection. If you have a relatively light weight curtain then you could space the supports out to about 8' apart. You will receive enough track supports with your order to achieve this 5' spacing.

• Yes. This is called a flush mount install and is very common. Simply drill through the middle of the track and use a small wood screw, bolt, Tek screw...ect into your structure. Space the holes about every 3-5'.

• It is very easy. All of the components simply fit into each other and connect with set screws. The installation is very intuitive. If you have any difficulty simply call or email us and we will walk you through the process.

• The track is Hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) which is often used to protect steel from corrosion in some of the harshest environments imaginable, yet it provides maintenance-free longevity for decades. The corrosion resistance of hot-dip galvanizing varies according to its surroundings but generally corrodes at a rate of 1/30 of bare steel in the same environment.

How much weight can the roller hooks support?

The curtain track roller hooks are rated for 40lbs each. If you have a unique application that requires more weight load then please use our custom quote form and request steel roller hooks which have 75lbs capacity each.

Can I paint the curtain track?

The hardware comes as plain industrial galvanized steel. Some customers choose to spray paint the track which is OK and does not affect its performance. You can use a steel spray paint to paint the track to your desired color once it arrives. Example below.

What size threaded rod does the threaded rod style track use?

The threaded rod track uses a 3/8" threaded rod with a nut and washer as shown below. Threaded rods are not provided by AKON and can be sourced locally from a hardware store.
