커튼레일설치 Drapery hardware is that cherry on top, so to speak, that can make or break the look of your custom window treatments. So it’s important to take the time to select your hardware carefully.

Decorative rings, pins and finials add the finishing touch to your rods and create a polished, streamlined look. There are many different styles to choose from, including modern, traditional and everything in between.

Drapery Rod Sets

Drapery rods are the foundation of a custom drapery set. They provide a tailored look and offer flexible options like top-down/bottom-up operation and cordless or motorized controls. When designing a custom drapery set, include the hardware selection as part of the process early on to avoid potential delays and ensure that your new draperies meet both function and style requirements.

Drape rods come in either wood or metal and both styles offer a variety of finishes to complement any design scheme. Wood rods can add an elegant luxe feel to a space with rich, dark woods or a more relaxed and natural look through the use of lighter woods. Metal rods also come in a wide range of finishes that can create a modern or transitional look, depending on your preference.

The type of mount you select will also have a significant impact on the appearance of your new draperies. A wall mount can provide a more minimal look that emphasizes the fabric or a ceiling mount can give your window treatment a dramatic full-length look.

커튼레일설치 If you are using a rod with rings or pins (not required for grommet or rod pocket panels), be sure to mockup your installation to determine the number and location of brackets to allow for adequate space for a smooth flow of draperies. If you’re using a curtain with a hook design for holdbacks, you may want to consider a longer rod and add additional brackets as needed.

Sash Lifts

Sliding sash windows enhance the charm of Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian-style homes. Designed to assist in raising the lower sash, our sash lifts are available in several popular finishes and feature large bearing surfaces that make them strong enough to deal with the force needed to free stuck windows.

Wider than loop and ring lifts, these handle-type sash lifts are held with three or four fingers like a door pull. They are used singly on sash up to 2 feet wide or in pairs on larger sashes. They also work well with interior shutters and cabinet doors, where hook style sash lifts can catch or obstruct.

Unlike loop or ring lifts, these c-shaped sash handles are positioned further apart, improving hand clearance and making them easier to use. They’re the perfect choice for modern double-hung windows because they encourage window lifting from the bottom, putting less stress on the sash than pushing on the top rail would.

Straight from the Victorian era, this graceful handle offers old-world charm. Recreated in solid, cast brass with a variety of popular finish options, it works well in Colonial, Craftsman and Modern design styles. It can be used as a sash lift or a screen door pull and is ideal for larger, heavy sashes and cabinets.

Window Hardware

When it comes to selecting a style for your draperies, you can opt for sleek and modern or warm and traditional. But, in order to get the look and function that you want from your custom window treatments, you’ll also need the right hardware. The curtain rods, finials, and other decorative hardware that complete your window treatments provide a finishing touch that can elevate the look of any space.

For windows that are operable, such as single or double hung windows, the window hardware may include latches, locks, handles, and window cranks. These are purely functional components that help the window open and close, but they can also serve as a beautiful design element for your home.

Curtain rings and hooks are a simple, functional drapery component that hangs from the curtain rod and secures your curtains or drapery panels to the rod. They come in many different sizes and styles, so you can find the right ones to suit your window or room.

Window balance systems are a counterbalance system installed in operable windows to support the weight of the window sash when it is opened or closed. They can be used in single or double hung windows, and they typically consist of a spiral rod encased in a tube with a tensioning mechanism that allows the user to adjust the amount of upward force exerted by the spiral rod.

Stair Hardware

When it comes to stair hardware, there are a number of different elements to consider when you’re refinishing or building a staircase. Stairparts include treads, balusters and handrails that give structure to a staircase. They also provide the aesthetics that help to create a staircase. Stair parts were traditionally made in a carpenter’s workshop, but now are mass produced and used to complete a simple staircase on site. Traditionally, the various stair parts were secured to each other using wedges in slots cut into the stringers and then the front of the treads were secured to the top of the risers with glued blocks. This method of stair construction is known as closed stringers. Open tread stairways may use a western stringer that is routed to recess the treads and risers into the stringer.

The rails, or stair balusters, are the vertical components of the stairs that are interspersed between posts (or newels) to form the balustrade. They are often wood or iron and come in a range of designs. Stair balusters are a little longer than the stairs themselves and are generally spaced closely together, although they can be closer or further apart depending on your style.

Browse our stairparts collection to find the pieces that will help you complete your staircase project. From stable and functional handrail brackets to elegant urethane stair rods, you’ll find the quality fasteners you need to ensure your staircase is strong and secure. Our collection also includes wall hardware options like coat hooks and shelving options to add function to any wall space while bringing a consistent design aesthetic to the room.
