Master Carrier
A small part which allows a finial to fit rods of different diameters.
The arm of the traverse track that holds the edge of the drapery. They are available
in one-way draw (one master carrier) or center draw (one master carrier and one
overlap arm to hide the drapery closure).
Apron
Horizontal decorative wood trim below the windowsill.
One-way Draw
Bracket (Standard, Extended, Double, Adjustable, Ceiling)
The main support for the rod, which extends from the wall. Brackets are available in
standard, extended, double or a hang bracket style. Double brackets, or the
attachment of a hang bracket, allows for two rods. Extended brackets provide more
clearance space from the wall. Adjustable brackets can either be cut down to a
certain size or have an adjustable arm that tightens to a certain length. Closed
brackets can be used in ceiling-mounted installations.
A term used with traversing rods to note that the drapery panel is designed to open
in one direction.
Pin on Hook
A metal pin, which slides into pleated draperies, to attach them to the rings.
Projection
Center Draw
The measurement of an item’s extension from the wall. Bracket projection is
measured from the wall surface to the center of the bracket cradle (rod center point).
A term used with traversing rods to note that the drapery panels will close at the
window’s center point.
Return
Center Support
The flat portion of a drapery heading that wraps around the corner of the rod to
cover the end of the rod and the bracket
A bracket used to support longer rods from sagging in the middle. Center supports
can also hide rod connection points when splicing rods together.

A ring is used to attach the drapery treatment to the rod. They are sized larger than
the rod’s diameter for ease of movement.
The distance from the mounting surface to the rod.
Rod
Connector & Connector Screw
A light weight tube used to connect two metal rods. It also provides strength at the
point of connection. A connector screw is a double ended screw that is used to
attach the ends of two wood rods together.
The core element from which the drapery treatment is hung. Rods are made of
either metal or wood and can be cut shorter or combined for custom sizing. A
secondary rod may also be offered for double rod installations.
Rosette
Elbow Connector (Corner Angle)
An adjustable corner angle that attaches two rods together. This item can be used in
bay windows or around corners to keep a seamless rod flow.
A decorative detail designed for additional accent. It is mounted on a screw and can
be attached to a bracket or a tieback post.

METAL ROD collections
Q: How many metal rod collections offer traversing options?
Q: What is included in a traverse rod kit?
A: Traversing rods are available in five metal collections: Al Fresco (pg 63),
A: Each kit contains a rod, glides, end stops, master carrier(s), and brackets. Finials,
Architrave (pg 29), Ferraforte (pg 49), Metropolitan (pg 53), and Provence (pg 37).
Reference each collection within the catalog for further details regarding finishes, rod
diameters, and functional qualities.
Q: How does a metal traverse rod work?
A: The traverse rod is an extruded aluminum pole constructed with internal hollow
channels that allow for glides and brackets to be inserted. The brackets are either
mounted from the top or the back of the rod and the glides sit inside the bottom
channel of the rod. Each track is lubricated with a silicone spray in order to assist in
the ease of glide movement. Drapery panels are hung from the glides either by
stitching or by the use of a curtain pin attachment. The master carriers offer
additional support for the starting edge of the drapery panel and provide an overlap
arm for center draw applications. End stops offer a permanent placement for the
draperies to stay fixed in place and prevent glides from getting stuck at the end of
the rod where the finials or end caps are mounted.
wands, and other components must be ordered separately.
Q: How much weight does a traverse rod hold?
A: Traverse rods function smoothly between 2-3 lbs per foot of drapery panel weight.
This means that lighter draperies are preferred for this rod construction over heavier
treatments. Roller glides can be used in place of tab glides in order to help distribute
the weight of heavier drapery panels.
Q: How do you connect two traverse rods together?
A: When connecting two traverse rods a traverse rod splice must be ordered. The
splice is a metal bar that is inserted into the top track area that holds the two rods
together. Insert the splice into the two tracks and tighten with an Allen key to set the
screws. Attach a bracket on both sides of the splice to ensure strength and stability.
Glides and master carriers can be inserted on the extended track as desired. For
best results, be sure to splice the rods together as tightly as possible in order to
ensure a smooth transition for the glides.
Q: How can I layer two traverse rods for a double rod installation?
A: The Metropolitan collection offers a 2" and 4" bracket along with a 2" extender
piece. A traverse rod with a 2" projection can sit inside of a rod with a 4" or 6"
projection, providing you with a front and back track for your draperies.

WOOD ROD collections
Q: How many wood rod collections offer traversing options?
Q: How do you connect two traverse rods together?
A: Traversing rods are available in three wood collections: Parisian (pg 25), Chess
A: When connecting two traverse rods, there are a few options available for assembly.
(pg 17), and Casual Elegance (pg 57). Reference each collection within the catalog
for further details regarding finishes, rod diameters, and functional qualities.
Q: How does traversing work in the wood rod collections?
Connecting the wood rods:
The wood rods can be connected with a double ended screw. The gap between the rods can be hidden by a Traverse Rod Connector or a decorative
Traverse Bracket.
A: A metal traversing track is inserted into a partially cut out wood rod. The wood rod
hides the metal track and gives the appearance of a standard wood rod construction.
The track is an extruded aluminum piece that is constructed with an internal chamber
that allows for glides and cording to be inserted. The brackets are mounted to the
top inside section of the rod and hold the track in place with a plastic fastener. Each
track is lubricated with a silicone spray in order to assist in the ease of glide
movement.
Drapery panels are hung from the glides either by stitching or by the use of a curtain
pin attachment. The master carriers offer additional support for the starting edge of
the drapery panel and provide an overlap arm for center draw applications. End
stops offer a permanent placement for the draperies to
stay fixed in place and prevent glides from getting stuck
at the end of the rod where the finials or end caps
are mounted.
Q: What is included in a traverse rod kit?
A: Each kit contains a wood rod, a metal traverse track, glides, end stops, master
carrier(s), and brackets. There is an option of hand draw or corded tracks. The
corded tracks come assembled with the cording installed and a 6’ cord drop. Finials,
wands, and other components must be ordered separately.
Connecting the traversing tracks:
The metal tracks can be combined several ways. The traverse tracks can be installed
so that two one-way draws (corded or hand draw) meet in the middle. The overlap arm
will hide the seam between drapery panels and tracks.
Tracks can also be spliced together for a continuous one-way draw. Attach the
metal splice to one track and click the other track into place to secure the two tracks
together. Install brackets on both sides of the spliced track to ensure stability. For
best results, splice the rods together as tightly as possible for a smooth transition for
glide movement. Corded tracks will need to be spliced and restrung by a professional
hardware installer.
Q: Are double traversing tracks available?
A: Yes. All collections are available with double track constructions. A dual track
Q: How much weight does a traverse rod hold?
A: Traverse rods function smoothly with up to 6 lbs per foot of drapery panel weight.
This means that lighter draperies are preferred for this rod construction over heavier
treatments. Corded tracks tend to work better when heavier treatments are used.
bracket is provided and an additional track is supplied for the back treatment.
Q: What is a C-ring?
A: A C-ring is a separate item that is attached to
the glide and serves as a decorative element,
imitating the look of a standard rod with rings.
This ‘C’ shaped ring goes ¾” of the way around
the rod, attaching on one end to the top hole
in the specially designed c-ring glide. Both
corded and hand draw tracks are available with
C-ring constructions.

INSTALLATION TIPS
MEASUREMENT TERMS
Finial Length
Attaching Finials
Horizontal measurement, when installed, from bottom edge to tip.
Finials and End Caps either have pre-inserted screws that twist into the rod or
top-mounted set screws that overlap onto the rod. Use the tightening key or a
screwdriver to secure set screws.
Finial Height
Vertical measurement, when installed, from top to bottom.
To Shorten Rods:
Tieback Diameter
Horizontal measurement, when installed, across the front centerline.
Tieback Projection
Measurement from the wall to the front of the tieback.
Tieback Length
Front length measurement before it returns to the wall.
Ring Diameter
The horizontal measurement, from the inside left edge to the inside right edge.
Wooden Rods
Use a fine tooth saw and a miter box to obtain a straight cut. After cutting, drill a pilot
hole in the center of the end so a finial can be easily attached.
Metal Rods
Use a hacksaw, steel saw or tube cutter. If the rod has an inner liner, you may wish to
cut the rods separately. Please protect the rod when cutting to avoid scratching the
surface and damaging the finish of the rod.
To Combine Rods:
Wooden Rods
MEASURE & INSTALL
Consider the following hints when planning to dress up your windows:
• Consider both the practical and aesthetic needs of the window treatment, when
deciding how it will be installed.
• Be aware of anything that may interfere with the installation, i.e., corners, doors
and built in furniture.
• Consider the added length of the finial when determining the length of the rod.
• Use a steel measuring tape or carpenter’s ruler, for accurate and consistent
measurements.
• Be precise, round all measurements to the nearest eighth of an inch.
• Measure all windows, even if they appear to be the same size.
• Use a worksheet or window diagram to help keep measurements clearly organized.
• Select the hardware before final determinations are made on the amount of
fabric needed.
• Do not install hardware on the window frame or crown molding.
All rods will be pre-drilled on both ends. A connector screw will be needed to
combine rods. This double-ended screw should be inserted into one of the rods with
pliers. The other Rod can then be screwed onto the first Rod. If the Rod has been
shortened, a pilot hole will need to be re-drilled into the center.
Metal Rods
A Connector must be ordered to combine most metal rods. The Connector is a short
tube that is inserted inside the rods at the point of connection. A Center Support is
recommended for all Rod lengths 8’ or greater. These general instructions apply to
all Robert Allen Window drapery hardware collections, unless otherwise noted in the
individual collection Product Information Guide.
Connecting Traverse Rods:
Wood Rods
Wood traversing rods can be connected with a double ended screw. The gap between the rods can be hidden by a Traverse Rod Connector or a decorative Traverse
Bracket. The metal tracks used in conjunction with the wood rods can be combined
several ways. The traverse tracks can be installed so that two one-way draws meet
in the middle. The overlap arm will hide the seam between panels. Tracks can also
be spliced together for a continuous one-way draw. Be sure to support both sides of
the spliced track ends by installing brackets on either side of the joined areas. These
methods can be done with hand-draw tracks. Corded tracks will need to be
professionally re-strung and corded to ensure proper function.
Metal Rods
Metal rods can be connected with the use of a splice. Order a splice separately for
this type of installation. Insert the splice into the top portion of the track (the area
where brackets are inserted) to join the two rods together. Tighten the set screws to
secure the joined rods. Attach brackets along either side of the sliced track to
support the connection.
