Tips for Pleated Curtains Hang with Lora Track

Note:

The pleated curtains come with hooks that can be adjusted up and down by about 3 inches. The Track height is about 1 3/4 inches. We can cover the track by adjusting the hook.

When the curtain header covers the track, it may cause the fabric to turn outward slightly, which can compromise both the appearance and the smooth operation of the curtains.

For optimal performance and aesthetics, we do not recommend installing the curtains in this manner.

Instead, we suggest hanging the curtains below the track. This approach offers several benefits:

· Smooth Operation: Ensures the curtains open and close effortlessly without obstruction.

· Improved Appearance: Allows the curtains to hang naturally, maintaining a clean and polished look.

· Enhanced Durability: Reduces strain on the curtain mechanism, extending its lifespan.

Good rod

Simple and elegant. Husband said it was sturdy and the screws were good quality. The reason why I gave it fours stars is because the color was off between different pieces.

So elegant

I just love how these curtains look in our dining room. They go perfectly with the wool rug under the table. I got the pinch pleated drapes from the Liz Collection in color Pale Aqua Blue with memory training and no lining. One thing I do think is important is to order the swatch first in order to have an idea what an actual color would look like. The curtain color looks exactly like the swatch but is different from the color online. The one online looks more green. So, do spend the $5 on the swatch and you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely beautiful! Amazing weight and texture. Sprang for the trained pleats and was well worth the extra!

Really love these curtains. They look super elegant. I love the triple pleat. They seriously elevate the space. I was worried about quality as I have never ordered from here before but they have some serious weight to them and feel pretty luxurious. Will be buying more for my other rooms!

I love these curtains! They completely transform my space. I love the color, sand beige, and the quality is great. I took pics during the day and night. I chose privacy liner so some light still shines through.
