Forest London Wood Traversing: a hand-finished wood rod over a track
London traversing rod by Forest, with 2026 retail prices, sizes, finishes and specifications.
What is the Forest London Wood Traversing?
The Forest London Wood Traversing rod is a 1 3/8 inch or 1 3/4 inch London wood fascia over an aluminum Forest track, so the drapery traverses while the room sees a hand-finished wood rod. A 6 ft Forest London traversing rod (1 3/8 in, single) costs $1,077.32; a 12 ft one costs $1,884.08. A 6 ft Forest London traversing rod (1 3/8 in, double) costs $1,250.11; a 12 ft one costs $2,149.63.
The five London wood finishes carry through, with metal accents in chrome, brass, nickel or graphite, and the track comes in white, black, brown or grey to sit quietly behind the wood. Assembled single and double sets include the fascia, track, wall brackets, an end cap finial and a 36 inch baton.

Longer runs are quoted at the measure.
