Curtain category

Positioning
Visible designer track
Fitting
Check current Forest bracket range
System overview
DS is intended to be seen rather than hidden. Forest describes it as a rounded, compact designer track for medium curtains and offers coordinated finishes for interiors where the profile contributes to the design.
Suitable applications
- • Interior-designed residential rooms
- • Visible track installations
- • Medium curtains
- • Projects where a decorative profile is preferred to a concealed track
When not to assume it fits
- • Heavy curtains without current load confirmation
- • Using hidden-track assumptions for visible bracket spacing
- • Mixing finishes or accessories from another Forest range
- • Poorly level wall lines that make a visible track look uneven
Installation planning
Checks before fixing the track
1

5

Troubleshooting and failure clues
- • Visible scratches require careful handling and protection
- • Uneven brackets are more noticeable on designer profiles
