Choosing Your Drapery Hardware Nj Ahead Of Time Is A Good Idea When You Are Having Curtains Custom Made

By Timothy Olson


When you plan to hang custom made draperies for your window treatment, it's a good idea to have your rods installed before you order your curtains. While there are plenty of options available to you for pre-manufactured drapery panels or curtains, quite a few home owners choose to have draperies custom made. Maybe you have found the perfect fabric for your drapery and you want to add your own custom touch to your interior design. Of course, there are a lot of extra expenses involved in having draperies custom made and you undoubtedly want to get everything right the first time. By selecting and installing your drapery hardware nj first, your installer will be able to create a perfect fit for your window.

Most consumers do not know that a conventional decorative metal or wood rod with rings might not be the correct choice if they would like to open and close their draperies often. Decorative curtain hardware is similar to a Christmas tree, it's intended to remain in one place and be pretty. It isn't really meant to be opened and closed. Operating drapes regularly is a great job for a traditional white traverse curtain rod, but standard curtain rods aren't very attractive.

To have the classic ornamental wood rod or metal pole look with all of the features of a regular traverse curtain rod, use a Kirsch Estate Rod. The custom made Estate Rods from Kirsch ensure that you get the feel of a decorative curtain treatment but they use heavy duty curtain carriers and cords so you're able to open and shut your draperies without difficulty.

Kirsch Estate Rods can be created using your exact requirements for either pinch-pleat or ripple fold style curtains. And, if you want the feel of curtain rings, you can have your custom curtain rod created with decorative faux rings which will further improve the cosmetic impact of your curtain rod.

Several factors like the pin setting, the placement of the rings eyelet and how far the ring hangs below the bottom of the curtain rod has to be factored in to the final cut length of the curtains by the curtain maker. You'll know that all of these factors have been included if the curtain fixtures is installed on your window when your seamstress takes your sizes.

While curtain hardware makers offer you a lot of color and finish possibilities, you might like to tackle painting the pole yourself. Smooth style wood curtain poles are great if you want to faux finish them. And, since fluted and twisted poles ordinarily are more expensive, smooth is the best choice if you would like to wrap your own personal fabric around the pole. If you're going to use a fabric wrap treatment, you may want to look into choosing a wood dowel through your local store instead of a curtain rod. Since the rod won't be seen, deciding on a rough dowel may save some costs.

A bracket with elaborate carvings or with an extended projection will require extra widths of fabric if you'd like the curtain to return to the wall. By selecting and hanging your curtain hardware before you measure for your drapes, you can avoid this problem.

No matter what style window you have or what sort of drapery you intend to mount, there's always a method available for you from Kirsch. You can get the actual precise drape rod that you might want, specifying each element of construction with either Kirsch Estate Rods or Kirsch Architrac Rods.
