CSA-DRAPERY-TEMPLATE-KIT How to Create a Bent or Curved Drapery Track Template Instruction Guide Description Match the layout of any room with a custom-fabricated, curved or bent drapery track system. To ensure that the drapery track fits your application perfectly, submit a detailed template to Crestron which will be used to fabricate the drapery track. The total drapery track length can be up to 18 ft (~5.5 m) without a splice or up to 36 ft (~11 m) with a splice. The drapery track template kit includes kraft paper (40 feet (12.2 meters)), a compass, a marking pen, adhesive labels, a sample drapery track, and a prepaid shipping label. Create a Template for a Curved or Bent Drapery Track NOTE: • To receive a quote, please submit a request for quotation (RfQ) to Crestron Sales Support Services ([techsales@crestron.com](techsales@crestron.com)) . Include the following: track length, draw type, carrier type, fabric fullness, track type, mount style, and the communication method for the motor. • For specialty curve applications, technical assistance, or for additional design assistance, please contact Crestron Sales Support Services at 1-888-CRESTRON. • Templates must be made with the provided kraft paper. • A drapery track with a length up to 20 ft (~6 m) without a splice or 40 ft (12.2 m) with splices may be ordered only after contacting Tech Sales to discuss special shipping and handling accommodations. • Fill out the “Bent Drapery Track Form” section to specify 45° and 90° drapery track bends. Create and submit a template to ensure a correct fit in the room and to allow better visualization of the 19 in (483 mm) curve radius. • The minimum bend or curve radius is 19 in (483 mm) . • Drapery track splices must be placed with at least 10 in (254 mm) of straight track on each side of the splice. • The drapery track centerline must be at least 3-1/2 in (89 mm) from the wall. • The centerline of dual drapery tracks must be spaced at least 5 in (127 mm) center-to-center. • The finished drapery track may vary 3/4 in (20 mm) from the template. 1. Place the kraft paper in the location where the drapery track will be installed. To ensure an exact fit, trim, cut, and fold the kraft paper so that it matches the wall outline. Bent Drapery Track Example Curved Drapery Track Example 2. Secure the kraft paper to the ceiling using painter’s tape. Ensure that the kraft paper is placed against the wall. Bent Drapery Track Example Curved Drapery Track Example Cut, fold, and tape as necessary to ensure that the template is at and smooth. NOTE: It is best to mount the kraft paper to the ceiling when creating the template. However, in cases where this is not possible, the template may be created on the floor directly below where the drapery track is tobe installed. Ensure the floor is plumb with the ceiling and there are no variations in the construction layout between the two surfaces. 3. Using the compass and the marking pen, trace the drapery track centerline and, if used, the pocket location. Use the compass and the marking pen to follow the wall. The drapery track centerline must be at least 3-1/2 in (89 mm) from the wall. Verify that there are no obstructions, such as crank handles, molding, or baseboard heaters, that may contact the fabric during normal operation. 4. (Optional) For a dual drapery track installation, use the same template and trace the second drapery track centerline. The drapery track centerlines must be spaced at least 5 in (127 mm) center-to-center. Bent Drapery Track Example Curved Drapery Track Example 5. Measure the following items and mark them on the template: NOTE: It may be necessary to take and mark several measurements across the length of the template. • Drapery track centerline to the wall. • Drapery track centerline to the pocket edge. • The curve length along the drapery track centerline. 6. Label the template with the included adhesive lab
