Professional Track & Pole Fitting 2-Day Course

The purpose built wall enables students to establish and identify the various building materials they may have to fit into. Track & Pole Fitting

This is a two-day course for professionals or those aspiring to become professional track, curtain and blind fitters.

 

These days tracks and poles are rarely fitted into a wooden window frame, so we have a purpose built wall with a combination of structural elements inside it: metal lintel, concrete, breezeblock, brick, cavity wall. You will learn how to identify what you are drilling into and the appropriate fixing to be used, how to bend and cord-up tracks and how to dress the curtains so that they look their best.

 

This course is accredited by the Association of Master Upholsterers & Soft Furnishers (AMUSF).
