When installing curtains, should I use Roman rods or rails? What is the rationale?

Buying a house is something that each of us has to go through, and the quality of the house decoration also determines the comfort of our later move-in. When it comes to renovation, there are plenty of materials to choose from. Even the curtains we usually use are very particular.

Suppose there are two kinds of rods used to install curtains, regardless of how many kinds of fabrics there are. One is a track pole and the other is a Roman pole. Many friends are very entangled in the choice and do not know the practical difference between these two rods.

Today, Bian Xiao will introduce you to the advantages and disadvantages of these two rods. Let's take a look.

First of all, let's talk about the trajectory bar, which is also a common slider. It is installed on the top surface, and then the curtain is installed on the rails. The advantage of this kind of track rod is that the shape of the track is changeable, it can be bent at will, and the track with different arcs can be made at home according to different angles, and it is also relatively cheap.

Like some special places that need to turn corners, you can use this slider. Even if it is a foreign teacher, it will not get stuck when the curtains are drawn, and it is very smooth. The disadvantage of the crossbar is that it is inconvenient to disassemble when cleaning curtains.

And if the crossbar is not covered by the ceiling, it is not aesthetically pleasing to be directly exposed. And after a long time, the inside of the track is rough, unable to move, easy to get stuck, and needs frequent maintenance. If your house is not high enough and is obscured by the ceiling, then don't choose track poles.

The Roman pole is the opposite of the track pole, which belongs to the open pole, and it is also beautiful to install directly on the outside. There are many cylindrical Roman columns, which are beautiful and generous, and have a certain decorative effect. The advantage of the Roman rod is that it is beautiful in appearance and easy to disassemble.

After washing the dishes and curtains, you can put them on directly, which is very convenient. The Roman Poles also had shortcomings. They have the disadvantage that they cannot bend and have a limited load-bearing capacity.

If it's some heavy fabric, I'm afraid it's not suitable for the Roman Poles. Due to its limited load-bearing capacity, it can be easily bent. In addition, the curtains of the Roman rod will be a little difficult to pull up and can easily get stuck.

Even if it's new, it's not as smooth as the track bar. So, if your curtains are thick cloth, try not to choose Roman columns.

Curtains are one of the essential household items in every home. Some people ask someone to install it, and some people do it themselves. Different models, T-curtains are installed and hung differently.

From an installation point of view, Roman rods for curtains are better than crossbars, because the installation of crossbars is not only complex but also cumbersome. For example, the curtain box should be designed in advance for track installation, and then the track frame should be installed, and it can only be hung after installation. The Roman rod is much simpler to install than the track, just fix the Roman rod and then hang the ring to the Roman pole.

I think the Roman rod should be chosen; Because Rome has a better appearance, and for a small apartment, it is cheaper, and he can choose from a lot of styles.

Roman rods should be chosen; The Roman rod is more beautiful and generous, and it is more durable than the track, not easy to deform and damage, has a long service life, and is more convenient to pick.

When installing curtains, Roman rods should be used, its shape is cylindrical, generally there will be rings or buckles at both ends, the appearance will be particularly beautiful and generous, and it has a good decorative effect; Because the Roman rod will be more practical, and it is particularly diverse, there are solid wood and aluminum alloy, stainless steel is very selective, you can choose according to your preference.

Definitely the track is better. I continued to ask: then why do many curtain merchants always give ambiguous answers and let users choose according to their preferences?

The answer did not surprise me: for curtain merchants, Roman rods were much more profitable than rails. Therefore, it is naturally the best policy to be able to sell a few more Roman rods. There are three distinct advantages of the track over the Roman rod.

Mainly reflected in curtains and ceilings.

Where the seam is made - curtains with Roman rods, there will be a relatively large gap between the curtain and the ceiling. This gap cannot be removed, and if the curtain is pressed against the ceiling, it will not be able to slide smoothly on the Roman rod.

Rail curtains do not have this problem, in this way of installation, hooks are installed on the top of the curtain and connected to the track on the ceiling. In other words, the track curtains must be close to the ceiling.

The gap between the curtain and the ceiling, the most obvious trouble is the light transmission. No matter how strong the curtain's shading ability is, there will be a light at the top of the curtain. There is almost no gap at the top of the track curtain, plus the curtain box.

The occlusion can be completely opaque.

In addition to shading, it also improves the ability to keep heat and sound. Especially when the balcony door is not installed, a little upgrade in the curtain capacity will be very obvious.

For the user, the total cost of using the Roman rod and track is about the same. The Roman pole was spent mainly on that pole, but the track was spent mainly on the curtain box.

The track differs from the Roman rod in that it does not have any decorative capacity of its own. If you directly expose the track, it is very ugly. So we need to block the track with something, which is the curtain box.

It's called a curtain box, but it's not actually a box, it's just a board (wood board or drywall) that blocks the top of the curtain.

That's it.

Or if you plan to make a suspended ceiling in the room, you can also use the ceiling shape to block the curtain tracks. Or use a curtain (that is, a layer of cloth, as shown below) to block the track. In short, just block the curtain track with other decorations.

The curtains after being blocked will have a stronger overall feeling. It makes people look as if the curtains and the wall are integrated. In contrast, the presence of the Roman rod is more abrupt.

Of course, you can understand that it is a decoration, but any kind of abrupt decoration is not as attractive as a smooth and natural decoration.

The process of opening and closing the Roman rod is to let the nanocircle (the plastic ring on the curtain) slide on the rod. The process of opening and closing the track is to let the small wheels hanging from the curtain roll in the track. Rolling friction or sliding friction, whichever has less resistance – it must be the former.

Especially for heavier curtains, when using rail installation, the switch will be smoother, and the life will be much longer.

One last point: if you plan to use smart curtains, you have to choose the track. The smart curtain is actually a motor that can be intelligently controlled next to the track curtain, which can only control the track, not the Roman rod.

And it will also look a little better if the motor is hidden in the curtain box. ）

I think it's best to install Roman rods for living room curtains; Because Roman rods are more durable and look very stylish, they can be created in a European style and minimalist style, and they are also able to protect privacy.

When installing curtains in the living room, be sure to see if there is a curtain box, if there is a reserved curtain box, you can install a track, if not, you can choose a Roman rod, the Roman rod is more fashionable, generous, and high-end.

It is better to choose a Roman rod, the Roman rod looks better, and the appearance of the track is not high.

Whether to use a Roman pole or a slide depends on the style of decoration. The general rule is: the room with the ceiling in the decoration should choose the slide, and the room without the ceiling can use both the Roman rod and the slide.

I think when choosing to install curtains, you should still choose track rods, because this installation method is more suitable, more beautiful, and simpler.

I think that because of the curtains, I still choose the track rod, because this method is more durable, and it is not easy to break after a long time.

It should be a Roman rod that would be better, because it would be more aesthetically pleasing and convenient.

Track poles should be chosen when installing curtains, as they are cheap and easy to install.

Curtains are an indispensable soft decoration for every household! This not only plays a beautifying role in home life, but also plays a certain practical role! Added privacy for the family, shaded in the summer and wind-proofed in the winter!

So, at this time, everyone is struggling with whether it is better to use a pole or a track! The Roman rod has two decorative heads, three mounting brackets, and a wide variety of styles, and the Roman rod will be used if you want to embody a simple beauty. Rails are window rails with multiple installation codes with pulleys, and now there are mainly ones on the market:

Straight rails, curved rails, telescopic rails, etc., mainly used for windows with curtain boxes. The most commonly used tracks are: heavy-duty rails, plastic nano-rails, low-noise rails, etc.

First: the Roman rod is generally determined according to the style of the curtain, the material of the fabric and the overall decoration style, and the most important consideration is practical and beautiful! And the Roman rod is just in line with the characteristics of beauty, practicality, atmosphere and convenience, of course, I personally prefer the Roman rod!

However, the price is relatively expensive! The track rod is a dark rod, which mainly uses the slide rail to move the hanging curtain cloth, and the hook will be placed in the track. The Roman pole is a long pole with gourd-like capitals at both ends, and a ring is worn in the middle to hang curtain cloth.

If you make a suspended ceiling, you can install the track with the curtains, which is always convenient, labor-saving cleaning, and the cost is low, and the overall effect is not as good as the Roman rod.

Because the purchase and installation of curtains are relatively late in the process of home decoration, many friends do not consider curtains at all in the early stage of decoration. I've been in the curtain retail business for ten years and have found that there are a lot of customers who have had the same troubles. In order to save money, many friends did not find a decoration company to go out in a big bag, but used guerrillas.

Then there will be a problem, you find different types of workers who will only think about how to do their work, and will not help you think as a whole. Therefore, the workers of the ceiling may help you make a very low ceiling for the sake of aesthetics, and the workers who make the window sleeves will also install it normally.

If it's a double layer, I think it's okay to use both, and if it's a single choice, I think it's a Roman rod! Because Roman rods are easy to install and time-saving.

The decoration foreman explained the difference between the Roman rod and the track, and hoped to help you in the decoration.

The Roman rod is better, because the curtains of the Roman rod are very easy to take care of, and the overall decoration is also very classy.

If you can use the track, it is better to use the track, because the track has good shading, and it is easy to operate, and the appearance is beautiful and beautiful.

It's good to use rails, because rails are more convenient to use, and it's easier when you draw curtains.

It is best to use the track, which will reduce your own cost, and the style of decoration is particularly exquisite, and there are more styles.

Roman rods or rails will be used when installing curtains. These two parts can be fitted with curtains, but they are very different in appearance and material. I think everyone wants to know how to choose. Let's get started and see if it's better to use Roman rods or rails for curtains, and which one is more durable.

Both of these products can be said to have their own advantages. Roman columns are more suitable for windows that do not have a suspended ceiling curtain box beforehand, and there are many materials suitable for people to use, including solid wood, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and PVC, with beautiful shapes. The advantage of the track is that it is cheap, it can also handle special window shapes, and the pull is very smooth regardless of the shape.

It is suitable for mass consumption and has a long service life at home. When it comes to durability, track poles are better. There are two main series:

Bright and dark rails. The open track has wooden poles, aluminum alloy poles, iron rods, etc., and the concealed tracks have nano tracks, aluminum alloy tracks and silent tracks. The reason why the track is more durable is that it can carry out multi-track movement and can be bent to varying degrees according to the windows and walls of the owner's home, which is highly adaptable.

In terms of beauty, Roman columns are naturally better. It is usually a cylinder with a length determined according to your own needs. Because the ends of the pole are gourd-shaped capitals, which are more like Roman buildings, they are called Roman poles.

It belongs to a kind of ascending pole. There is no need to delay the production of curtain boxes. It is easy to install directly, beautifully decorated, and can be used at home.

From the above introduction, you must already know that this track is cheaper. The curtain track of the open track ** is between 15 yuan and 100 yuan meters. **Will vary depending on the material selected.

Dark tracks can be subdivided into single, double, and soft tracks. Their curtain tracks** are about $6 and $50 meters. Specific** still depends on the owner's own purchasing needs.

However, for me, the track rods are preferred, because the smoothness of the curtains is very necessary, and cleaning the curtains is not a common thing. You can only call ** to a professional curtain cleaning company to disassemble twice a year at most. In addition, the lower ** of the track bar can indeed save a lot of money.

The more practical is the curtain Roman rod, the appearance is more beautiful, and then the installation is more convenient, can be removed, only need to punch two holes, and then fix it, it is very convenient to clean, there are grooves on it as a slide rail, it is more suitable for floor-to-ceiling curtains are particularly foreign.

The track rod is more practical, convenient for the use of curtains, can avoid wear and tear, can ensure the age of use, and avoid breakage.
