How to Fit a Silent Gliss Draw Rod to a 6840 Curtain Track: A Handy Guide

If you’re looking to achieve a sleek, elegant look for your curtains using the Silent Gliss 6840 track, you might be wondering about the best way to fit a draw rod. The process can seem a bit confusing at first, but it’s quite straightforward once you know the details. In this blog, we’ll cover everything you need to know about fitting a draw rod to a 6840 track, whether it requires its own glider, and some handy tips for optimal placement.

Does the Silent Gliss Draw Rod Need Its Own Glider?

A common question among those fitting a Silent Gliss draw rod for a 6840 track is whether the draw rod requires its own dedicated glider or if it can share with a metal curtain hook. The answer is simple: the draw rod does not need its own glider. You can easily hook the draw rod into the leading glider. This means you don’t have to worry about additional fittings or gliders; the draw rod will work seamlessly with the existing glider setup.

Optimal Placement for the Draw Rod

For those aiming to conceal the draw rod behind the curtain for a more streamlined appearance, the best practice is to fit the draw rod to the second glider. By doing this, the rod is positioned behind the curtain fabric, which helps maintain a clean and unobtrusive look when the curtains are drawn.

An Alternative: The Draw Rod Carrier

While the draw rod can easily be hooked into the leading glider, there is another option for those who prefer a more secure and purpose-built solution. Silent Gliss offers a draw rod carrier (code 6366), which is designed specifically for use with their systems. This draw rod carrier provides a more stable fitting for the draw rod, ensuring smooth operation and durability. If you’re looking for that extra bit of reassurance or simply prefer a dedicated carrier, this is an option worth considering.

When it comes to fitting a Silent Gliss draw rod for a 6840 track, simplicity is key. There’s no need for an additional glider, as the draw rod can be attached to the leading glider with ease. However, for those who might want a more dedicated solution, the draw rod carrier (code 6366) is a handy alternative that provides a robust and reliable option. Whichever method you choose, you’ll enjoy the smooth operation and refined look that the Silent Gliss system offers.

By following these simple tips, you can ensure your curtains not only function beautifully but also enhance the aesthetic of your space. Happy fitting!
