The most important decision that should be considered while choosing a traverse curtain rod is their material and durability. Choose rods that are made of quality steel or wood and are strong enough to support the weight of your drapes or curtains. These rods are usually available in different styles and can be chosen from  single or double traverse rods, with or without valance and sheers, wall or ceiling mount, standard or decorative rods. The best part is that all of these different types of rods have to be installed in a similar manner. All you need to do is repeat one of the steps while assembling double traverse rods. Some simple steps that you can follow while selecting these hardware for your window treatments are mentioned below:

•    You can think about purchasing decorative wooden curtain rods if you interested in hanging draperies both with and without valance. In addition to the rods, you will also need to buy accompanying wooden brackets hold seamlessly either a single or double curtain rod. You will be happy to know that these rods are available in different colors including gold and mahogany, which can help you make a purchase to match with the decor of your room. You can choose from four, six or eight foot length rods and if you want you can even cut them to a length that is between the two sizes. The best part about decorative wooden rods is that they are cordless and easy to install without much hassles.

•    For windows with valance or those that require ceiling mount, you can choose from a wide range of steel traverse poles. You can either buy them as single unit for draperies or as draperies along with sheers or draperies plus sheers plus valance. However, if you are planning to use a wooden cornice, you can choose to buy a single unit or single plus sheers.

•    Once you are done with the purchase of the rods, you now need to measure the window and then add the required number of inches beyond them. Understand that adding six to eight inches beyond the window will block the light that will be coming in through the sides. This can be best suited for windows for people that do not prefer to get disturbed by streetlights at night or the ones that sleep during the daytime.

If you are looking for some cheaper options without compromising on the quality, online stores can serve your requirements in an impeccable manner. When you search online, you can find a list of providers that deal with the sale of curtain and drapery hardware at almost half the price of the original ones. The best about shopping online is that you can find a huge variety of different rods such as extra-long traverse rods and compare the prices offered by different stores, all the comfort of your house. In fact, the product also gets delivered at your doorstep, which prevents the hassles of moving from one shop to another to get the best deal. But do not forget to check customer reviews before your purchase.
