jambolass1000 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Any fellow JKB members in this line of business or know anyone that is. I am thinking of changing my cheap white plastic track for one of those fancy poles, the only problem I have is its a Bay Window and its totally confusing of what is needed. I had a look in B&Q but again just not sure. I would rather get an expert in to supply and fit and at least then its been done right. If you know anyone give me a shout. Thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 if its a standard rail (these are the type that have little hoops which slide back and forth under them for the cutain hooks to fit into). you can bend these to suit a bay window no probs - however you will need 'bending rods' to stop the aluminium rail kinking (i've got these). you can get plastic rails, which you can bend, but the plastic runners tend not to run as well, especially if the curtains are long or heavy (usually are on bay windows) poles are usually a no no on bay windows due to needing more brackets at the bends, which stop the curtains opening / closing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
