If you ever think to buy a curtain track, which comes rolled up - best

I bought one maybe a decade ago for when I might need it, a complete kit
including the rail, brackets screws and etc. all you need and ready to
fit. Today I needed it. The suggestion was to put the track in hot water
and it will straighten out, er no it didn't. A waste of time and will
need replacing.


And it will be wobbly and horrid anyway.

I'd throw it away and go and get a decent brand (I rather like the
aluminium I-beam type that is an exact replica of the old edwardian
brass I-beam type - very smooth and very easy to fit and very very
strong.

Yes, I've not used that particular type, but I am gradually replacing
the old plastic track with metal track as it wear out.

Much better stuff
