Choosing Between the 7630 and 7640
Both the Silent Gliss 7630 and 7640 offer the same smooth corded operation, made-to-measure manufacturing and compatibility with bay windows. The primary difference is the diameter of the pole and the visual impact it creates within a room.
The 7630 Metropole features a 30mm diameter, making it an excellent choice for standard-sized windows and contemporary interiors where a more subtle appearance is preferred.
The 7640 Metropole features a larger 50mm diameter and is designed to make more of a statement. It is particularly well suited to larger windows, taller ceilings and interiors where the curtain pole is intended to be a prominent design feature.
As both systems can support curtain weights of up to 13kg and can be professionally bent to suit bay windows, the decision often comes down to the scale of the room and the overall design aesthetic.
