1. Size and installation
Help me calculate
Casing width, space on each side and drapery stack
Already know your finished rod width? Enter it below. To plan a width, enter the outside edges of the window casing and the usable wall space beyond each edge. All measurements are inches.
Stack calculation: add casing width and both side spaces for the total rod width. Divide by 24″ and round up to the next whole fabric width. Each fabric width needs 6″ of stack. Split draw divides the total stack equally between both sides; one-way draw puts the full stack on the selected side.
For a bend, reverse bend or continuous curve, use Design Consultation and provide an exact template. Finished widths from 18 to 480 inches are supported. Straight systems over 96 inches require a supported splice; each shippable section is no longer than 96 inches. Full-length road freight needs a quote.

Frequently asked questions
How can I keep outdoor draperies from blowing around?
Our draperies have three layers of fabric in the hem, with small weights at seams and corners to help them hang neatly. When panels aren’t in use, we recommend gathering them with tiebacks secured to a wall or post.
We do not recommend tying the bottoms tightly to the floor. This can create a sail effect, placing extra strain on the drapery, header and mounting hardware during strong gusts.
For additional weight, we can sew a bottom pocket for a light, appropriately sized 316L stainless steel chain. This allows the panel to move while helping reduce flutter.
If floor restraints are necessary, we can discuss reinforced ½″ grommets and bungee cord connected to suitable floor anchors. These flush lift rings illustrate the style; suitability must be confirmed for your installation.
Weights and restraints do not make draperies windproof. Please contact us before adding either option.
Is this the same as a solid stainless steel rod?
No. This decorative traversing product is a round-looking aluminum H-rail with a channel for moving carriers. For a 316 stainless steel ringed rod, choose our separate straight-rod family.
How many brackets are required?
The manufacturer lists two supports up to 60 inches, three from 61 to 120 inches, four from 121 to 180 inches, and five from 181 to 240 inches. The final plan can require additional support because of wall structure, load, projection, splice or curves.
Can I use a ceiling or inside mount?
Yes, with the matching bracket. Wall-mounted systems use the projecting wall bracket; ceiling-mounted systems use the flush ceiling bracket. Every Traverse Rod is finished with its standard end cap.
Which headings and openings work?
One-way and center-opening pinch pleat or compatible Ripplefold systems are available. Ripplefold requires connected carriers at the selected fullness and the appropriate master carrier. The butt master meets at center; an overlap master provides panel overlap.
Can the round traverse rod be curved?
Some systems can be bent or continuously curved, subject to the manufacturer’s limits. Provide an exact template for a review; curved configurations are not priced automatically.
What happens above 96 inches?
Standard parcel shipment is limited to sections no longer than 96 inches. A longer design needs a suitable connector and support at the joint; a continuous long length requires a separately quoted road shipment.
What does the 4 lb/ft capacity mean?
It is a manufacturer maximum of four pounds of distributed drapery weight per foot, depending on the application. Brackets, anchors, substrate, curves, and use can lower the safe load. Confirm the complete installation for heavy draperies.
Is this Traverse Rod suitable for a coastal home?
The corrosion-resistant aluminum rail is an option for coastal interiors and humid rooms. Tell us about salt-air exposure and whether the installation is indoors or sheltered outdoors so we can review the finish, brackets, fasteners and complete system.
Does rust-proof mean no maintenance is needed?
Rust-proof describes the corrosion-resistant materials chosen for the system. Routine care still matters in salt air. Keep the rail free of dust, follow the manufacturer’s finish and operating-component care instructions, and inspect exposed brackets and fasteners.
How do I get a complete Traverse Rod price?
Choose your configuration above and request a Design Consultation. Send your measurements, location and a photograph of the opening. We confirm the finish, carrier arrangement, supports, installation details and shipping for your personal quote.
