FAQ

Our one-way draw traverse rods require only one end bracket for the corded side where the pulley housing is located. Use a center support to mount the opposing side. This will allow for full closure of your curtains.

The center supports (L brackets) can easily be converted into ceiling brackets by unscrewing the screw on the bracket to separate it into 2 pieces. The straight piece becomes the ceiling bracket. Lock the brackets into place on your rod and drill up onto the ceiling using the allotted screws. Do not install the end bracket. The corded end side can be directly screwed up to the ceiling.

Slide the adapter onto the backside of track with the adapter screw facing outward. Insert the screw-in finial into the adapter. You may need to pinch together the end of the rod when sliding the finial on. Release the hold of the rod once the finial fits properly onto the end. Tighten the screw located on the adapter as necessary.

Yes, only if you have a center-open draw traverse rod, can you change the cord to be on the left side. All our decorative traverse rods are pre-assembled as center-open draws with the cord being on the right side. To change the cord side to the left, just use a pen or hook to drag the cord down from the underside of the pulley housing on the left. Continue to drag until the entire cord loop falls to the left and you’re done.

To convert to a one way left draw, slide all the carriers to the left and remove the right master carrier. To convert to one way right draw, do the same process but move the carriers to the right and remove the left master carrier.

For white traverse rods, the model # is "KC1910." For decorative traverse rods, the model # for hidden sliders is "6995S", and for slider rings is "6996R". If you have any trouble locating these parts, please send a message or give us a call and we’ll jump to your aid!

The Ivy finials should be identical so the look of the set is with one ivy finial pointing up, and the other side pointing down.You may wish to rotate one of the finials from front to back so that it’s uniform on both sides but this isn’t suggested.

To attach the center supports, place the center support on top of the rod where the lip of the rod meets the support. Grab a flathead screw driver and insert it into the slotted opening on the silver cam-lock underneath of the support. Once the screw driver is inserted, begin to turn the cam-lock in either direction until it hits the back side of the rod. This will hold the support into place. Do not attempt to rotate the cam lock with your hands.

Yes! You can convert the wall brackets into ceiling mount brackets. Unbolt the rod clamp from the wall bracket. Set wall bracket aside. Make sure you position the smaller and larger rod clamps based on where the inner rod and outer rod will be mounted. Once the rod clamps are securely mounted up into the ceiling, position the track into the clamps.

This model is considered light-duty and cannot carry heavy curtains. Please see below for estimated weight tolerance for our single and double Armor adjustable tracks.

Single

28-48": 5 lbs

48-84": 10 lbs

66-120": 15 lbs

Double

28-48": 8 lbs

48-84": 13 lbs

66-120": 18 lbs

Keep in mind that estimates aren’t set in stone because the less you extend your rod out, the bigger the overlap is for the inner and outer rod. This makes for a sturdier rod allowing for a larger weight capacity.

The curtain rod length does not include the finials. For example, if you order a curtain rod that extends from 28-48 inches, the max length of the rod itself will be 48 inches. The finials will provide additional length to the rod’s max length. All of our products will provide the finial measurements in the description. The width listed there will be the additional length to the curtain rod.

Desyne Store carries the most common rod diameters of 5/8”, 13/16”, 1”, and 1-1/2”. These will not have a huge impact on the weight capacity, as weight capacity has more to do with the mounting brackets and the number of brackets used.

Recommendations:

5/8” diameter – Sheer or linen curtains are recommended. The thinner rod will compliment the delicate and swift feel of these curtains.

13/16” and 1” – Cotton curtains are recommended. Cotton is very common and comes in a wide variety of looks and weights.

1” and 1-1/2” – Silk or Velvet curtains are recommended. A thicker rod will be a bit more supportive and the thickness will compliment the fuller look of the drapery.

Our standard curtain rods (excluding traverse rods and spring tension rods) can be cut with the use of a hack saw. Cutting our curtain rods down to a custom size will not affect their functionality or the ability to reattach the finial decorative end pieces.

Carefully measure the width of the window you would like covered. Your curtain rod should be at least 8-12 inches longer than this measurement- account for at least 4-6 inches on either side. You should also plan to mount the rod approximately 4-6 inches above the window frame.

Most rod models can be ceiling mounted. The accompanying brackets must be ceiling brackets for this type of installation.

Curtain rod finials are not universal. Rod Desyne finials exclusively work with corresponding Rod Desyne rods - diameter of rod must match finial.
