Case Study: Campervan Curtain Track

We recently designed and produced an arched campervan curtain track for customer Daren Clark.

Daren often goes away in his campervan, so he wanted to install curtains to separate the back section from the front, to create a cosy sleeping area.

He found The Curtain Pole and Track Company online and got in touch with us to see if we could help with his special project.

“I wanted to run a curtain between the cab area and rear of my '74 Westy, but I couldn't find any curtain tracks to match.”

Creating the Bespoke Curtain Track

When we received Daren’s enquiry, our first challenge was to choose the most appropriate curtain track for the job. We asked him to email us some photos of the campervan roof section so that we could get an idea of the type of track required.

The ceiling had a gradual curve and an arch on the sides, so we decided on the Silent Gliss 1025 curtain track as it’s ideal for top fixing in campervans. The 1025 is not traditionally bent into an arch, so we decided to perform a test to ensure we could make the track bend into the correct shape.

The testing was successful, so we asked Daren to bring the campervan to our factory. When he arrived, we took a template of the campervan ceiling so that we had a replica and a diagram to work from.

We then carefully bent the track around our block to match the shape of the van ceiling while Daren waited. We positioned the pre-drilled holes in a way that meant that the ends of the track were held securely once it had been fitted.

One Cool Campervan

The curtain track was made and assembled within an hour of Daren pulling up, and four days following his original enquiry. Daren was thrilled with the final result and The Curtain Pole and Track Company service.

“I took the campervan to The Curtain Pole and Track Company to have a track made-to-measure. One cup of coffee and a friendly chat later I had a perfectly fitted custom curtain track. Fast, friendly service!”
