Default Curtain rail - corded or not?

On Saturday 23 November 2013 21:54 robgraham wrote in uk.d-i-y:

We have a difficult window to curtain. It's deep and relatively narrow.
The reveal is 16 cm deep and absolutely square sided. The window
(traditional Scottish sash) is near enough 100 cm wide, 140 cm high with
the sill at 100 cm.

The problem is the curtain rail which requires sharp angles over a fairly
short distance.

The question is - would a corded rail work better than just a plain
pull-the-curtain type?

Thanks
Rob


I used ali I-beam rail in my square bays:

In expensive, strong, easy to form to fairly tight bends (bend raidius about
7cm), can be top hung (ceiling) or face (wall) mounted.

Very smooth action...
