Rods or Tracks for Your Curtains? Which to Choose?
From sleek and contemporary to a touch of classic elegance, the curtain rods and tracks you choose for your window furnishings can dramatically impact your entire room's décor. But it's not just about looks. The right rod or track also determines how your curtains move, so they open and close as elegantly as they hang.
Curtain rods (or curtain poles) offer a variety of styles to make a statement, while curtain tracks (or curtain rails) provide a discreet base, letting your beautiful drapes make the impact, all while gliding smoothly with every use. Our consultants will guide you through the perfect solution from our extensive range of curtain rods and tracks to achieve the ideal balance of aesthetics and functionality.
Tracks
For a simple, discreet look to blend in with your decor tracks are the way to go. Curtain tracks can be mounted directly into the ceiling or wall so are a good option for tall/ wide windows, plus are versatile for curved areas. Working with global curtain track leader Silent Gliss, Lahood is excited to offer tracks with the innovative 2C Glider, which ensure your curtain move as elegantly as they look.
Flush or Recessed Tracks
If you are building or renovating and want the ultimate in discreet, then flush or recessed tracks are ideal. They fit into the ceiling to a depth of approx 13mm (a normal GIB sheet), providing the illusion of ‘floating’ curtains. Lahood will work with your architect/builder to ensure the cavity requirements for the flush tracks are done at planning stage.
Ceiling Mounted Track
A similarly discreet look to the recessed Flush Track can be achieved in a convenient and cost-effective manner with Ceiling Mounted Tracks. These are efficiently fitted by our installation team using invisible ceiling Smart Klick brackets. Available a range of powder-coated colours to suit your decor the track is bendable and suited to all types of medium and light drapery.
Wall Mounted Tracks
Lahood offers a range of wall-mounting options for tracks if ceiling mounting is not an option or you want slightly more of a decorative fee. Working with Silent Gliss, Lahood offers the Smartfix bracket system, with stylish, magnetic covers to hide unsightly screws
Rods
If you want more of a decorative statement feature then rods can provide this with the curtains hanging below and a range of colours, materials and finials (ends) to choose from. Our selections include contemporary aluminium rods, decorative wrought iron rods and sleek square rods all with a range of finials. Matching curtain hold backs are also available.
Double Tracks/Rods
Have the curtain lining on a sperate track or rod behind for versatility. Very popular with sheers, this option provides the flexibility of airflow and light in summer months and closing the curtains with a thermal lining in the winter months for heat and privacy.
Operation - Hand, Cord or Motorised?
Curtain tracks and rods from Lahood come with options for hand, cord or motorised operation. Hand operation is the most cost-effective choice, while cord operation suits wider, heavier curtains well. For the ultimate in convenience, plus added home security and energy efficiency, opt for motorised curtain tracks. Working with Silent Gliss, the pioneers of motorised curtains, Lahood offers a range of motorised curtain options with silent, powerful Swiss-made motors and options for remote, wall switch or mobile app control. Motors are discreetly hidden behind the curtain at the end of the track.
What are Customers Say

Everything about Lahood is quality. Outstanding service, nothing was a problem, staff very helpful and friendly and the curtains are perfect. Kiri is an outstanding agent as well.
Sue, Auckland
Excellent service. We have used Lahood for all of our curtains and blinds in our house and our rental studio since 2015. We are very impressed with their design advice, the quality of the fabrics and blinds. The installer has done an excellent job as well in following the design consultant's instructions (Sharlene) to make the blinds block out the light. We highly recommend Lahood and the entire team. If we ever shift house we will use Lahood again.

Christine, Auckland
The design team at Lahood advised on fabric, colour and co-ordination. They measured everything while my apartment was still being completed & gave an accurate quote. My electronic blinds & curtains were all installed prior to me moving in. I am so happy with them & have had multiple comments on how good they look.
