Forest Deventer CRS Traversing: a 1 1/8 inch channel rod that bends
Deventer CRS rod by Forest, with 2026 retail prices, sizes, finishes and specifications.
What is the Forest Deventer CRS Traversing?
The Forest Deventer CRS Traversing rod is a 1 1/8 inch aluminum channel rod, drawn by hand or baton, rated for 4 lb of drapery per foot, that curves to an 8 inch radius. It is the Forest decorative rod for bay windows. A 6 ft Forest Deventer CRS rod (single) costs $1,040.73; a 12 ft one costs $1,660.53. A 6 ft Forest Deventer CRS rod (double) costs $2,081.44; a 12 ft one costs $3,320.92.
Deventer CRS runs the drapery on carriers inside an h-shaped rail treated with a dry lubricant, so it traverses smoothly while looking like a rod. It comes in seven finishes from satin brass and shiny white to antique bronze, graphite and taupe, with end cap, ball or notched finials. The longest one-piece rod is 19 feet; longer runs are joined.
