Choosing the right tracks for your curtains can seem like a big choice! And we want to help you get it right. Our blog gives you a full overview of corded and uncorded curtain tracks, so that you can make the most informed decision for your home. To find out more about these two types of curtain tracks, keep on reading!

Corded Vs Uncorded Tracks

Corded curtain tracks, which you’ve probably come across before, are curtains that come with a pull cord at the side, for easy opening and closing. For curtains that are behind furniture or in a tricky place, having corded tracks can be extremely beneficial. If your curtains cover a relatively tall window, or it’s unsafe to close them by hand, corded tracks make a convenient and safe choice.

In addition to safety, corded curtain tracks also mean that you aren’t having to touch your curtains very often. For curtains made from delicate materials, or in light colours, the less they are touched, the better condition they will stay in!

Uncorded tracks are pretty self-explanatory, and have no cord for opening and closing the curtains. You can simply open your curtains by hand when you need to! They are simple to use and install. If your windows are easily accessible, uncorded curtains are an extremely viable option.

Things To Consider

Making a choice between corded and uncorded tracks may seem pretty simple, but there are other factors to think about. Before you decide on your corded or uncorded curtains, there are a few things to consider!

Weight

When it comes to corded tracks, the weight of your curtains does matter. Heavier curtains can impact your corded track’s performance, making them unable to move or difficult to open and close. Be sure to consider the weight impact of your curtains before choosing your tracks.

Your Windows Needs

Each window has different needs, which may also impact your decision. As we’ve already touched on, curtains that are in trickier places can benefit from corded tracks for convenience and safety. However, curtains that you often open and close, in more accessible places would probably be fine with uncorded tracks.
