How to distinguish Curtain Rods on the Market?

Key elements for curtain rod

It is very important to select a good curtain rod, because it is the bridge of a beautiful curtain and is the guarantee of the safety. There are so many curtain rod varieties on the market; it is difficult to tell whether it is good or bad and true or false. Regardless of material, the key elements for curtain rod are: solid and safe, smooth and slippery, novel style, environmental protection materials which will not pollute the curtains and the environment. The curtain rods on the market today are available for wooden rods, aluminum rods, brushed nickel curtain rods, steel rods and steel curtain rods, etc.

Wood curtain rod

It will deform, bend and crack due to the dry climate in the north, so it is not recommended. There are a variety of colors. It is divided into transparent color and covers color two kinds by type. Basically we should check whether the treatment of the surface is smooth, whether the paint is uniform and whether the shape of the decorative head is symmetrical. The wood curtain rods have 2 kinds of solid wood rod with a silencer bar and wood rod with no silencer. The silencer materials are plastic on the market, which are not wear resistant and easy to aging and be embrittled.

Aluminum curtain rod

There are many aluminum curtain rods on the market, its hardness is not high (hardness value is 5 and the hardness values of diamonds is up to 10), thin and easy to deform. The main difference lies in the wall thickness of the rod; the good rod wall thickness is 1.0MM-1.3MM. Then we should check whether the handling of the surface is smooth. Secondly, look at the ring-pull design, the current market mainly uses recycled plastic ring-pull, the manufacturing process is rough. Many Aluminum curtain rods have a silencer bar. But the silencer bar materials are plastic, which are not wear resistant and easy to aging and embrittle. The supports use the recycled plastic, which are easy to break and will not last for long.

Steel curtain rod

It is commonly known as iron rods, its hardness is high (the hardness value is 7.5 while the diamond hardness value is up to 10) and not easy to deform. The surface treatment includes spray, wood plastic, plastic and electroplating. The diameter is available for 16MM, 19mm, 25MM, 28MM and 30MM, etc. The quality mainly depends on whether the surface treatment is smooth, whether the color is consistent, whether it is easy to fade and the plating process of the bearing wall thickness and rod. The iron rods produced by our company carry out 16 plating processes and there is imported high wear-resistant sliding strip on the pole. The ring-pull design use imported high wear-resistant materials, which has super sliding performance and wear resistance. The bearing adopts steel pipe in 2.0MM wall thickness, which ensures it to be durable, never deforming and fracture.

Plastic-steel curtain rod

In fact, it is the plastic curtain rod, which is the product for short-term use.
