Types of Window Treatment Hardware

Curtain Rods

Curtain rods are the most common type of hardware used to hang curtains or drapes. They come in various styles, materials, and finishes to match different decor themes.

  • Single Rods: Ideal for hanging lightweight or sheer curtains
  • Double Rods: Allows for layering of curtains, such as a sheer panel with a heavier drape
  • Traverse Rods: Feature a mechanism for easy opening and closing of drapes, often used for heavier fabrics or sliding doors
  • Tension Rods: Maintain both your style and your budget – variable length makes them easily available for any window size
  • Magnetic Rods: Suitable for metal-framed windows and lightweight curtains where drilling is not ideal

Materials: Wood, metal, acrylic

Applications: Living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, and more


Curtain Rings and Clips

Curtain rings and clips are used in conjunction with curtain rods to hold curtains in place.

  • Rings with Hooks: Attach to the rod and hold curtains by their hooks or grommets.
  • Clips: Ideal for hanging curtains with tab tops or for a more casual look.

Materials: Metal, plastic, wood

Applications: Versatile and suited for various types of curtains and rods


Brackets

Brackets support curtain rods and determine the spacing between the window and the curtain.

  • Standard Brackets: Hold the curtain rod securely and are available in various styles.
  • Extended Brackets: Useful for creating extra space for curtains that need to hang away from the window frame.

Materials: Metal, wood

Applications: Suitable for all types of curtain rods and for different window depths.


Holdbacks and Tiebacks

Holdbacks and tiebacks are decorative elements used to keep curtains pulled back when not in use.

  • Holdbacks: Mounted on the wall to hold curtains in place.
  • Tiebacks: Attached to the curtain with fabric loops or decorative hooks.

Materials: Metal, wood, fabric

Applications: Common in living rooms and bedrooms to add a touch of elegance and style.


Valance Clips and Hooks

Valance clips and hooks are used to attach decorative valances.

  • Clips: Simple and easy to use, ideal for lightweight valances.
  • Hooks: Provide a more secure attachment for heavier or layered valances.

Materials: Metal, plastic

Applications: Perfect for enhancing the look of a room with additional layers of window treatment.


Traversing Systems

Traversing systems for drapes allow effortless glide along the entire curtain rod. Frequently used by hotels and other luxury spaces, traversing rods have clips that slide along a track inside the rod itself.

  • Single Traverse Rod: Accommodates one curtain layer
  • Double Traverse Rod: Allows two drapes of varying weights; typically one sheer and one blackout for more light filtering control

Materials: Metal, plastic

Applications: Ideal for large windows or sliding glass doors; creates a sense of luxury in any space.
