"Should I Add Extra Inches To My Rod Width? How Much Do I Need To Add For The Brackets?"
If your window has trim, you may want the brackets
installed off the trim a few inches. And, if you have
wall space, you may want to add a few more inches
to allow your curtain fabric to stack off the window to
provide a more open view.
There's no set "rule" an extra four or five inches on
either side typically works well. But, brackets for
Heavy-Duty Curtain Rods and Decorative Traverse
Rods can be placed at any point along the track.

"One Side Of My Window Is Right Against A Wall, I Want A Decorative Traverse, But I Don't Have Room For A Finial - Now What?"
Not a problem! Just use an end cap on the side that's
up against the wall.
Or, if the collection you want has an Inside Mount
Socket available in the color and fascia diameter that
matches your Decorative Traverse Rod, you can
"dead-end" your rod into an Inside Mount Socket for
a clean look. Don't forget to install an end bracket
before the Inside Mount Socket.
