Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
How far apart should curtain-track brackets be?+
Spacing depends on the track system, curtain load and fixing surface. Always use the manufacturer's maximum spacing. The calculator distributes brackets evenly within that limit.
How close should brackets be to the track ends?+
Many installations place support close to each end, often around 5–15 cm in. Check the track manufacturer's instructions.
Do track joins need additional brackets?+
Yes. Joined tracks commonly need support close to both sides of the join to reduce movement and sagging.
Can I use the same spacing for bay or curved tracks?+
Bends and curves may need extra support. Use this as a planning guide and follow the manufacturer's bend-support instructions.
