커튼봉설치 Draperies add privacy, light filtration and style to your home’s windows. The type of drapery you choose determines the hardware you’ll need, such as:
Your selection of curtain rods, brackets, rings and finials should reflect your personal style. Metal drapery hardware can offer a modern, streamlined look or wood can provide an elegant luxe finish or a more relaxed, natural feel to your space.
Clip Rings
Curtain rod rings are what most people think of when they consider drapery hardware. They’re used to connect your curtain panels to the rod (with the exception of grommet or rod pocket draperies).
These metal rings have a small circle at the bottom called an eyelet, where you can attach a standard drapery pin to your curtain panel. They also have built-in clips that grab the top of your fabric instead of having to sew them on. These clip-on curtain rings work with most flat or pleated draperies and valances, including pinch-pleat and inverted pleat curtains.
To calculate how many curtain rings you need, measure the width of your panel and decide how far apart you want to space them. We recommend spacing them about 2-4 inches apart. For wide windows, you may need bypass C-rings, which do not fully encircle the rod and are designed to be used in tandem with matching bypass brackets.
Traverse Rods커튼봉설치
Traverse rods are used to create a sophisticated polished look that is not often found in standard curtain rods. They are usually made from metal and come with either ring slides or pinch pleat carriers.
If you have a window/door that is wider than 36-inches and requires a support bracket in the middle to open/close your drapes, it’s best to use a traverse rod, as it will keep your curtains looking better longer by making it easy for you to move them across the windows and out of the way.
The Kirsch Estate Designer Metals 1 3/8″ Decorative Traverse Rods Collection works well in rooms with standard 8 foot ceilings and offers 10+ finials and endcaps along with sleek finishes that will look great in any home. The Kirsch Estate Wood Trends 2″ Decorative Traverse Rods Collection is also available and provides more options for larger windows with vaulted or cathedral ceilings.
Wall Brackets
There are many types of wall brackets, and they can be used for hanging a variety of items. Typically, they are made of strong materials and they help keep things in place. They can also come in a variety of designs to suit different tastes and needs.
The most important consideration when selecting a bracket is the strength of the material it’s made from and how it will hold heavy items. People who plan to hang a lot of items should use brackets that are designed to handle a high amount of weight. They should also carefully follow the installation instructions. This will usually require them to screw the bracket into a piece of wood known as a stud.
Many drapery rods include a bracket, which can either be curved or straight. Kirsch offers a variety of ceiling mount brackets, including ones that work well with standard eight-foot ceilings and those that are suitable for corner and bay windows.
Finials
When it comes to finishing off a drapery rod, finials are the cherry on top. They are an elegant and stylish decorative element that also serves as a cap to keep your curtains from sliding off the rod ends. They come in a variety of materials, from brass to malachite and blown glass, with motifs as diverse as foo dogs and antlers.
When choosing the style of finial to complement your curtain pole, consider both your taste and the type of curtain heading you plan on using. For example, disc finials, which are simpler and more understated, can be a great choice for fans of minimalist design.
Metal spun and wood turned designs lend themselves well to traditional and contemporary styles. On the other hand, wrought iron and stainless steel finials are ideal for industrial design, while simple black end caps can bring a touch of sophistication to a modern home.
Sash Lifts
Sliding sash windows, known as double-hung windows, are a hallmark of traditional homes. They are held open by sash weights and cords. We offer a wide selection of sash lifts that improve the usability of these old-fashioned windows and work well with modern window treatments.
Handle-type sash lifts feature an off-set design that improves finger clearance over the window stool and door handle. This popular option is offered in a variety of fine finishes to match any décor. Our sash lift is also available in a recessed version that allows for more space in the bottom rail and sash.
Hook-style sash lifts feature a classic, simple two-piece design that works with Colonial and Craftsman styles as well as Victorian. Our version is made of solid brass and comes in a variety of popular finish options.
Window Hardware
Window hardware might not get as much attention as draperies or blinds but it plays an important role in creating a complete look. Window rod sets allow your curtains to hang sturdily from the walls while brackets, rings and finials add visual appeal.
The basic rod and ring style of drapery hardware is what most people think of when they hear the term “drapery hardware.” It is mounted above your windows and used to hold your panel fabrics (excluding grommet or rod pocket drapes). This style offers the greatest amount of customization in terms of finishes and finials.
Other types of window hardware include cam locks that help keep your windows closed tight, lift rails and handles for single- or double-hung windows, and sash lifts that make it easier to open and close sash windows. Cam locks can also be used on casement and awning windows to more easily crank them open.
