Default Curtain tracks

One of the earliest jobs will be putting up curtain tracks as neither of
us can cope with sleeping in rooms that are not sufficiently dark. Seems
to me that we should select one make of track and fittings and use it
throughout. (We might need to consider cording, and maybe a heavier duty
track in the living room with full length curtains. Ideally the same
gliders everywhere.) No bays or any other awkwardness to cope with.

What make track would you choose, and why?


Swish products are commonly available. However I don't see a
requirement to use the same type in every room. I would think it
unlikely that you would want to move curtains from one room to another.

You can sometimes buy standard length curtains at a lower price than
made to measure. The exact height of the rail then becomes more
important if the curtains are to reach to the floor.
