A Guide to Curtain Library’s Curtain Tracks and Rods

Customising your curtain set doesn’t end at just fabric selection alone. You’ll need to pick the most suitable accessories and furniture to match the curtain as well. In fact, picking between a curtain track or rod system really determines how your curtains will hold up over time. To ensure a complete curtain set for any household, all of Curtain Library’s curtain sets also come with our versatile KIROV tracks, rods, or motorised systems. 

KIROV is Curtain Library’s in-house brand for heavy duty curtain tracks and decorative rods for homes. Our customisable systems are able to fit just about any window, entrance, or ceiling divider in terms of length, curve, and opening styles. In this article, we’ll be explaining more about what makes our systems special and how to pick the most suitable one for your curtains.

These are the types of curtain tracks and rods that Curtain Library provides for all our projects in homes, offices, or businesses.

1. KIROV Heavy-Duty Curtain Tracks for a classic curtain set.

Curtain Library KIROV Heavy Duty Curtain Tracks

Let’s begin with our most basic model that comes with all our curtain sets. The KIROV Heavy-Duty Curtain Tracks is our track system that’s designed to carry thick and heavy curtains. They’re industrial-grade aluminium tracks with 1.0-1.2mm thickness (conventional models in the market are made at only 0.6-0.8mm thickness) and are able to hold up to 50kg when mounted.

KIROV Heavy-Duty Curtain Tracks are customisable to fit the needs of your windows or rooms. They come in classic (Straight) or flexible (Curved, L-shaped, or N-shaped) tracks. Straight tracks can be adjusted according to the width of windows or entrances. Currently, the latest models of our straight tracks come with a white powder coating that protects them from wear and tear. They’re a favourite feature for our bungalow or luxury condo homeowners that are looking for smooth-pulling curtains.

Curved, L-shaped, and N-shaped tracks, on the other hand, can be adjusted to fit bay (a.k.a turret) windows or be used as room dividers. They are popular amongst retail outlets, dental clinics, and hospitals alike as they are slightly smaller than our straight tracks, while still being just as high-quality and durable.

Our easy-to-install industrial-grade mount is designed to be strong enough to hold single or double tracks. Double ceiling tracks are the most common and top choice within Curtain Library’s clientele. This is because they can hold both sheer and blackout curtains, while still allowing you to individually open or close them as you wish.

2. KIROV Heavy-Duty S-Fold Curtain Tracks for grand spaces.

Looking for a way to properly set up your Ripplefold, a.k.a S-Fold, curtains? Ripplefold curtains use a special header style that hangs the curtains from the edge of their fabric, creating a deep curtain wave or fold that provides a warm and contemporary look to offices and hotel suites alike.

To be able to retain this professional look, the hook system used is a little different from the classic curtain tracks, which is what the KIROV Heavy-Duty S-Fold Curtain Tracks are designed to do. Because of the hooking system that pinches the edges of the curtains, the track is made to be slimmer. This means that they are able to fit into smaller or concealed spaces between windows and the ceiling and are most popular for double volume curtains or homes that don’t have much ceiling space.

3. KIROV Decorator Rods for a youthful but retro touch.

KIROV Decorator Rods have a dual function of holding up curtains, as well as providing a decorative feature to the room. They are able to complement your surrounding furniture as the decorative ends are quite prominent and noticeable. We carry a few variations of these ends to suit the style of the home. To add to that, they also come in a variety of materials, such as metal, stainless steels, and wood. Curtain rods are most suitable for tab top or eyelet curtains, as the design usually has the rod running through the curtains themselves or a series of rings that hold them up.

Curtain Library’s selection of decorative rods is made up of wooden or metal poles with decorative end pieces and rings. They are usually held up with supporting brackets. Our rings are designed with nylon inlays to reduce noise and resistance when gliding across the rod as you open and close the curtains.

Whether going for a rustic look with a traditional wooden pole or a modern contemporary style with a metal curtain pole, we have the right endings and rings to match your personal styles. What makes our rods special is in the nylon inlays found in our rings which reduce scraping noise and resistance on the rings for better protection from wear and tear.

Metal poles are a top choice amongst new homeowners as they come in a wide range of colours and finishes, from a slightly matted effect to a shiny glossy one. More modern homes opt for satin and chrome finishings, while those with more retro-inspired homes prefer our brass finishings.

Still, wooden poles have stood the test of time when it comes to giving the go-to rustic look. We provide a wide array of natural wood finishings that allow the beauty of the material to shine through. It’s a perfect finish for traditional wood-themed homes.

4. KIROV Motorised Curtain Systems for the modern and future-forward homemaker.

Simplify and modernise your home with KIROV Motorised Curtain Systems, the smart curtains that any future-forward homeowner needs. Our smart systems are so advanced that you can even schedule your curtains opened and closed by themselves- even if you’re not home! All with the command of your voice, tap on your smartphone, or the push of a button.

Our easy-to-install motorised curtain systems are assembled onto your wall or ceiling with a Motorised Rail-Lifting System (MRLS). The MRLS effortlessly lifts and lowers down the tracks using a powerful tubular motor that is able to reach heights of up to 20ft! This removes the need for ladders and scaffolding during the installation process while making the installation of heavy double volume curtains simple and straightforward.

As with all our KIROV tracks, our motorised curtain systems can support the weight of double volume curtains that weigh close to 50kg! So much so that it wouldn’t create resistance or loud motor noises when gliding opened or closed. The system also comes with a Built-In Safety Mechanism that stops the movement of the curtains when it detects and an unusual increase in force needed to move the curtains to prevent damage to the motor, railing system, and curtains.

“We aim to give homeowners and businesses alike the best quality tracks that are durable and long-lasting while at an affordable price. Our dedicated Research and Development team is to thank for constantly improving these parts.”

Benson Ng, Managing Director of Curtain Library

Curtain Library’s tracks are typically made up of 3 main components, the mount that gets screwed onto the ceiling or wall, the track that contains the rollers that are capped with nylon caps, and the specific curtain hooks that match your curtain’s header style.

We’d also like to highlight other features of our system that makes them better than conventional models! After working with homeowners, business owners, and hotel personnel alike, we noticed that conventional tracks aren’t the most convenient for smaller households. Not only that, they aren’t able to withstand long-term use. To improve on this, all our tracks use nylon caps and mounts for better durability and easy instalment.

Nylon caps function to hold the tracks together and are in direct exposure to heat and sunlight the most. They are able to resist sun damage better than conventional rubber caps that become brittle and crack over time.

KIROV track systems’ special mounts can be installed separately from the track and would still be able to hold up the curtains that weigh up to 50kg. They also are able to fit one to two tracks at a time.
