ABSTRACT:
A telescoping curtain rod and associated draperies that have attachment surfaces such as two-piece hook-and-loop fasteners commonly referred to as a VELCRO fasteners. The curtain rod includes an outer frame, an inner frame slidably mounted within the outer frame, and first and second brackets for attaching the curtain rod to a vertical support surface such as a wall. The outer and inner frames may each include front and top sides carrying attachment surfaces. The top and front sides of the inner frame may have indentations for carrying the attachment surfaces so as to allow the inner frame to slide easily within the outer frame. The top sides of the outer and inner frames may include tabs for engaging the brackets so as to maintain the top sides of the outer and inner frames substantially perpendicular to the vertical support surface. Multi-piece window treatments can therefore be easily installed and removed. Drapery hooks, drapery pockets, and custom made drapery boards are not required to construct window treatments.
