How to Choose

Track, rod, motor or shade system: how to choose

A track, when the drapery is heavy or the wall is long

Aluminum tracks such as CS carry 6 lb of fabric per foot, bend around corners, join into long runs and disappear against a white ceiling. They suit ripplefold and pinch pleat drapery on condo window walls. Forest curtain tracks.

A traversing rod, when the hardware should be seen

Dresden, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and the other decorative rails run the drapery on hidden carriers but look like a rod, in brass, chrome, bronze and matte finishes, typically rated at 4 lb per foot. Metal rods and wood rods.

A pole set, when the drapery hangs from rings

Porto, Lisbon, Aveiro and the wood Cordoba and London poles are sold by the part: pole by the foot, brackets, rings and finials. They are drawn by hand and suit lighter panels and formal rooms.

A motor, when the drapery is tall, wide or out of reach

Forest Shuttle motors move up to 160 lb per motor on FMS and RMS tracks and on the Dresden, Frankfurt and Stuttgart Motor 2.0 rails, with a remote, wall switch, app or home automation. Motorized.

A roman or roller system, when the window needs a shade

RBS and BCS headrails lift the roman shades we sew; Apollo, Mercury and Atlantis are Forest's complete roller shades. Roman and roller systems.

2026 Retail Prices

How are Forest drapery hardware prices worked out?

Most Forest tracks and traversing rods are sold as assembled sets: one price for the first 4 feet and a price for each additional foot, per colour or per motor. Pole sets and components are sold by the part: pole by the foot, brackets, rings, finials and carriers each. Roman headrails add a price per inch of width, and Forest's own roller shades are priced by width and length in a grid that includes a stock fabric.

Each collection page shows the size table or the parts table with every price we could confirm against the 2026 catalog. The drapery, the sewing and the installation are quoted separately, at the measure.

Forest prices an assembled system as one amount for the first 4 feet plus a fixed amount for each additional foot; the catalog prints no price for part of a foot, so a length between two whole feet is priced at the next whole foot, and anything up to 4 feet costs the 4-foot price.

Hardware only. Professional installation is quoted at the measure. Prices are 2026 retail, before tax, and may change.
