Square & Rectangular Rod and Ring Sizing

Square and rectangular rod profiles offer contemporary geometry distinct from traditional round rods. Proper sizing ensures clean proportions and adequate structural performance. This guide covers standard dimensions for Morgik square and rectangular rods.

For custom sizes, contact our team for specific recommendations.

Standard Square Rod Sizes

½” Square – Minimal profile for lightweight treatments and delicate applications.
¾” Square – Light scale with geometric presence. Suitable for small to medium windows.
1″ Square – Versatile standard size for most residential applications.
1¼” Square – Substantial presence for larger windows and heavier fabrics.
1½” Square – Commanding scale for tall windows and formal installations.

Standard Rectangular Rod Sizes

Rectangular rods are specified by width and height. Common orientations include:

1″ × ½” – Low profile with horizontal emphasis.
1¼” × ¾” – Balanced proportions for general use.
1½” × ¾” – Wide profile for visual impact.
2″ × 1″ – Substantial rectangle for architectural presence.

Custom rectangles fabricated to any proportion you specify.

Ring and Carrier Options

Square and rectangular rods typically use specialty carriers rather than traditional rings:

Channel Carriers – Slide within tracks integrated into the rod profile.
Bypass Carriers – Pass around brackets on track systems.

Span Considerations

Geometric profiles have different structural properties than round rods. Square rods generally span slightly less than equivalent round diameters. Rectangular rods vary based on orientation – the greater dimension should typically be vertical for maximum span.
