### Tracks Work Where Poles Won't
Bay window? Low ceiling? Want curtains that actually glide smoothly? **Curtain tracks are the practical choice.** Less glamorous than poles, but they work better for awkward spaces.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** For bay windows, tracks are massively better than poles. One continuous track follows the curve perfectly - much simpler than trying to fit multiple angled poles.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Bay windows:** Bendable track is surprisingly easy to work with once you know the trick. Measure the bay carefully, buy enough track, bend to match the curve. Looks professional when done right. **Ceiling mounting** needs solid fixing points - don't just screw into plasterboard. Find joists or use proper ceiling fixings. Track plus curtains is heavy.
Frequently Asked Questions about Curtain track fitting in Crediton
What's the difference between tracks and poles?
Tracks are more functional - curtains glide on runners inside the track. Better for bay windows, ceiling mounting, or where you want curtains to stack back neatly. Poles are more decorative but tracks do the job better for awkward spaces.
Can you fit tracks to bay windows?
Yes - that's where tracks shine. Bendable tracks follow the bay curve perfectly. Much better than trying to use multiple poles. I measure the bay, cut and bend the track to fit, mount securely.
Ceiling or wall mounting?
Depends on your space. Ceiling mounting is cleaner (no brackets showing) and works where there's no wall space above windows. Wall mounting is easier if you've got the space. I can do either - whichever suits your room better.
Do I need to buy the track first?
Yes - measure your window and buy the right length track. For bay windows, get bendable track. Standard tracks come in set lengths you cut to size. Send me photos if you're not sure what you need.
Will the curtains glide smoothly?
If the track's fitted properly, yes. Track needs to be level and securely mounted so there's no sagging. Runners need to move freely - I test before finishing to make sure everything glides properly.
