decent curtain rail

[beinerts]

Hi all, I hope this is the right place to post, the other categories didn't seem to fit.

I recently fitted a curtain rail in my back bedroom and in sort - it's no good. It's 3.6m long, from B&Q, with a beaded drawstring in channels inside it. basically, it just gets stuck. I think the resistance of the beaded drawstring, plus the weight of the curtain, is just too much over the distance. I have to help the curtain along by hand, so it's less than ideal!

Can anyone recommend a decent curtain rail I can fit instead? I don't mind what type, really.

Wow, you can personally recommend those 250,000 curtain rails. Great. Doesn't really help me narrow it down if I'm honest, though.

Before you change try lubricating existing, ordinary furniture polish works a treat.

Thanks, I'll give that a go.
