Using a Traversing Rod with Ring Ready - FAQ - ABS Drapery

Frequently Asked "ABS Drapery Question:

QUESTION:

Can I use a traversing rod with your Ring-Ready Drapery Panels

EXPLANATION:

The short answer is no. Ring Ready is not a Ripple Fold Drapery. There is no stiffener in the header to hold the folds. When Ring Ready panels are used as operational draperies, the lack of a stiffener means the panels require a lot of dressing every time you move them. 

PROPOSED RESPONSE:

Unfortunately, this will not work. Traversing rods are meant for ripple-style drapery, and our Ring-Ready Panels are not made in that style. The main difference is a stiffener in the header of ripple drapes that hold the folds in place on the traversing rod, which are not present in our Ring-Ready drapes. Using Ring-Ready with this header style will require notable dressing every time the drape is operated, and reduce the overall appearance and quality of the drape.
