Application of the Wood Pole Track:
The primary use of the wood pole track is to carry a curtain. Compared to the traditional fully round pole with rings, the pole
track has a distinct advantage being that it doesn´t need a central support bracket. The bracketing system of the pole track is
such that it allows an unimpeded movement of a curtain from one end of the pole to the other.
The curtain track is screwed in a routered recess at the back of the pole and cannot be seen unless standing directly beneath
the pole.
Only the base section of the wall brackets is visible and as such are supplied in either white or cream (birch white) to blend
with most walls. Brackets can be painted to match a specific wall colour or be featured in the same colour as the pole.
