Will the metal curtain rail produce noise after long-term use or will it support silent sliding?

As an important part of the indoor sunshade and decoration system, metal curtain rails are often used in residences, offices, hotels and other places. It not only carries the physical weight of the curtains, but also affects the overall convenience of use and the quietness of the environment. Whether noise will be generated during long-term use and whether a smooth and quiet sliding experience can be maintained are the focus of many users when purchasing.
Due to its high hardness, metal materials have strong stability and support, and are suitable for the installation of various types of curtains, especially when installing heavier or multi-layer curtains. However, during daily opening and closing, the friction between the track and the pulley and hook will gradually change with the extension of use time, resulting in a certain noise when sliding. Especially in the case of changes in environmental humidity, dust accumulation or improper installation, this friction sound may become more obvious.
In order to solve this problem, many metal curtain rails have been optimized in design. For example, the inner wall of the track is specially treated to make the surface smoother, reduce the resistance between the pulley and the pulley, and thus reduce the sliding noise. At the same time, using nylon, plastic and other materials to cover the metal parts in the pulley part can also effectively buffer the noise generated by metal contact. In addition, some tracks are also equipped with shock-absorbing pads or built-in silencer strips. These accessories play a certain role in sound insulation when the curtains are pulled, reducing the hard friction between the track and the track.
Whether the track can remain silent for a long time is also closely related to daily maintenance. If the track is not cleaned for a long time, dust and lint will accumulate in the track groove, which will not only affect the operation of the pulley, but also may produce friction noise. Clean the track regularly with a dry cloth or a soft brush, and add a small amount of lubricant between the pulley and the track when necessary, which can extend the service life and reduce the noise.
Installation quality is also a factor that cannot be ignored. If the track is not installed flat or the fixing screws are not tightened, the track may shake when the curtains are pulled, which will cause the metal parts to collide and produce abnormal noise. Therefore, during the installation process, ensure that the track is tightly and firmly connected to the wall and ceiling. If the track is long, the support points need to be arranged reasonably to avoid poor operation due to sagging of the suspended part.
The frequency of use will also affect its silent effect. If it is used in a space with high frequency, such as hotel rooms, conference rooms, etc., the structural stability of the track and the pulley material need to have strong wear resistance, otherwise it is easy to become loose or the parts will age after long-term use, thus causing noise.
