System overview
KS is Forest’s original compact curtain track and one of TrackFit’s most frequently considered systems. It uses Smart Klick wall and ceiling brackets, accepts carriers after installation and can be bent or reverse bent for bay, circular and arched windows.
Suitable applications
- • Standard domestic windows
- • Patio and bifold-door openings
- • Light and medium curtains
- • Bay and curved windows
- • Forest Easyfold wave curtains
- • Discreet ceiling or wall fitting
When not to assume it fits
- • Heavy curtain packages better suited to CS
- • Unverified bends tighter than current guidance
- • Weak plasterboard without structural support
- • Generic brackets or carriers from another profile
Installation planning
Checks before fixing the track
1
Choose wall or ceiling brackets before ordering
2
Check total curtain-package weight
3
Allow stack-back at the opening sides
4
Use extra support near curtain stacks and bends
5
Test carriers through the complete route
Troubleshooting and failure clues
- • Failure to click into brackets usually means misalignment or incompatible brackets
- • Catching in bays can indicate a damaged channel or poor bend
- • Movement under load requires a fixing and substrate review
