Your Progress Will Be Saved
No need to worry; you won't loose your progress.
Step
Let's Configure Your Rod
We'll guide you through customizing your Fast Track, saving your progress along the way. First, let's cover the options for the rod itself.
First, Choose Your Fast Track Finish
Please select your finish: Black or Silver. Each hand-drawn H-Rail rod is 1-1/8" in diameter.
Would You Like a Single or Double Fast Track?
Please select whether you would like a single or double rod configuration. Double Tracks are perfect if you'd like to have separately traversing sheer curtains in the rear.
How Long Would You Like Your Rod?
In inches rounded to the nearest quarter inch and in decimal form, please enter your desired rod length below. Do not include extra length for finials. The maximum length is 192 inches (16ft) for a one-way draw and 384 inches (32ft) for a center draw.
Because your rod is over 90 inches, please note:
- Additional freight costs may apply for long rods. We will contact you after placing your order to provide an estimate.
- To save on shipping, we recommend splicing your rod in half at the center.
- If you choose to splice in the center, you'll be limited to selecting Center Draw only.
- If you choose to splice in the center, we recommend adding brackets on either side of the splice.
Because your rod is over 192 inches (16ft), your rod must be spliced in the center.
This also means that only Center Draw is available. If you do not wish for your rod to be spliced, please reduce your length to 192 inches or less.
Additional Freight Costs Required
Due to the length of your rod, we'll contact you after placing your order to provide an estimate for additional freight costs.
Your Rod is Too Long
You must reduce your length to 384 inches (32ft) or less.
Rod Measuring Guide
How to Determine Proper Rod Length
To properly determine a rod length, measure the space you which for the rod to cover. Do not include additional length for finials, and only enter the length which the rod should be.
An Important Note on Length
The maximum length is 16 feet for a one-way draw and 32 feet for a center draw. Center draw tracks may be spliced only in the center of the track.
Rod Pricing
Rods are priced per foot, and the price of the rod is rounded-up to the nearest foot. Included in the price are master carriers and 4 ball bearing carriers per foot.
Would You Like to Splice Your Rod?
Because your rod is over 8ft in length, you have the option to splice the rod.
Additional Freight Costs Required
Due to the length of your rod and your selection of no splice, we'll contact you after placing your order to provide an estimate for additional freight costs. To avoid additional freight costs, we suggest splicing your rod. However, please be aware that if you choose to splice your rod in the middle then your rod must be center draw.
Splice Info
Supporting a Splice
If you choose to splice your rod, please be aware that you must add brackets on either side of the splice. You'll have the chance to select which brackets you'd like, and how many, on a later step.
Rod Connector Included
An easy to install Rod Connector is included when you splice your rod.
Step
Now, Let's Configure Your Draw
Next up, you'll decide details about how you wish for your rod to work with your curtains.
Choose Your Draw Direction
Please select in which direction you would like to draw your curtains.
Because you choose to splice your rod, only Center Draw is available
If you wish for either a right or left draw, you must go back a step and remove the option to splice.
Because your rod must be spliced due to a length of over 192 inches (16ft), only Center Draw is available
If you wish for either a right or left draw, you must go back a step and reduce your length to 192 inches or less and elect to not splice your rod.
Choose Your Drapery Carrier Type
Please select your drapery carrier type. The carrier type determines how your drapery will be hung.
Drapery Carrier Info
Pinch Pleat vs Ripple Fold
Pinch Pleat drapery fabric is hemmed in a fashion which produces a narrowing near the top of the curtain panel, while Ripple Fold is hemmed to produce a straight appearance that does not narrow.
What You'll Receive
Based upon your prior selections, you'll receive a Right Draw Pinch Pleat carrier:
Based upon your prior selections, you'll receive a Left Draw Pinch Pleat carrier:
Based upon your prior selections, you'll receive a Center Draw Pinch Pleat carrier:
Based upon your prior selections, you'll receive a Right Draw Ripple Fold carrier:
Based upon your prior selections, you'll receive a Left Draw Ripple Fold carrier:
Based upon your prior selections, you'll be able to select one of the following:
Choose Your Ripple Fold Master Carriers
Since you selected a Center Draw Ripple Fold carrier, you have the option of choosing a Master Carrier style: Butt Master or Overlap Master.
Master Carrier Help
Butt Master vs Overlap Master
Since you selected a Center Draw with Ripple Fold carriers, you may also select how the center draws together. With Butt Master, the curtain pleats butt up against each other with no overlap. With Overlap Master, the curtain pleats slightly overlap, as arms on the right and left carriers are positioned offset from each other, allowing each to pass beyond each other for a short distance.
Choose Your Ripple Fold Fullness
Please select your desired Ripple Fold drapery fullness percentage.
Choosing Ripple Fold Fullness
The fullness of the Ripplefold is determined by the spacing of the Ripplefold carriers. The higher the fullness percentage, the more undulating folds the fabric has. Refer to the chart below for an approximation of the available percentages.
Optional Would You Like Any Additional Carriers?
We automatically include 4 carriers per foot. If you would like any extra carriers, please enter how many below.
Step
Next, Let's Select Your Brackets
You can select from multiple mounting options, such as wall or ceiling options. We recommended placing brackets every 4 ft and on either side of a splice.
Bracket Selection
Please select the brackets you would like with your rod. Note that if you select Rod End Holders or Return Brackets, Rod End Holders, then you won't be able to select finials in the next step.
Bracket Recommendations
Because your Fast Track's length is inches, we recommend 2 brackets for each end plus center brackets to support your rod and splice. Please remember splices must be supported on either side by brackets.
- Because your Fast Track's length is inches, we recommend 2 brackets for each end plus center brackets to support your rod and splice.
- If you'd like Rod End Holders, and because you selected a Double Fast Track, please note you'll need two pairs of Rod End Holders.
- If you'd like Ceiling Brackets, and because you selected a Double Fast Track, please note that you'll need two Ceiling Brackets for each bracket position, as Ceiling Brackets only support one rod per bracket. If used as center brackets, then you'd need total. If used as end and center support brackets, then you'd need total.
