Child & pet safety

Mount the cord so it stays taut and anchored (tension device or cleat), never a loose loop, and keep it out of children's reach — per US CPSC/WCMA and Health Canada guidance.

FAQ

Is the price per rod or per pair?

The price is per rod — one complete set with brackets, supports, glides, and draw cord. Order one rod per window.

What size traverse rod do I need?

Measure your window width, add stack-back room on each side, and choose the range that covers the total. Each rod adjusts anywhere within its range.

Does it work with pinch pleat curtains on hooks?

Yes — the nylon glides accept standard drapery hooks, so pinch pleat and other pleated panels hang directly on the track.

Is a corded traverse rod child-safe?

Yes, when installed correctly: keep the cord taut and anchored with a tension device or cleat so there is no loose loop, per CPSC/WCMA and Health Canada guidance.

Do you sew matching drapery?

Yes. Our Toronto workroom sews custom pinch pleat panels, sheers, and blackout drapery to exact measurements — most orders ship in 10 days or less. Interior designers welcome.
