Header Style Match Rod Track

The pleated curtains come with hooks that can be adjusted up and down by about 3 inches. The Track height is about 1 3/4 inches. We can cover the track by adjusting the hook.

When the curtain header covers the track, it may cause the fabric to turn outward slightly, which can compromise both the appearance and the smooth operation of the curtains.

For optimal performance and aesthetics, we do not recommend installing the curtains in this manner.
