Uncorded curtain poles remain one of the most popular ways to dress a window, combining decorative styling with simple and reliable hand-drawn operation. Whether you're looking for a traditional curtain pole with rings or a contemporary glider-operated system, an uncorded curtain pole offers a practical and elegant solution for almost any interior.
At The Curtain Pole and Track Company, we offer a carefully selected range of made-to-measure curtain poles, including the innovative Silent Gliss Metropole collection and the classic Bradbury Stainless Steel Pole. Suitable for everything from standard windows to complex bay windows, our collection includes options for both contemporary and traditional homes.
Many of our uncorded curtain poles can be professionally bent to suit bay windows, and our bespoke manufacturing service ensures every pole is tailored to your exact requirements using professional bending services and excellent craftsmanship.
Traditional Curtain Poles with Rings
Traditional curtain poles use rings to support and operate the curtains, creating a timeless look that works beautifully in both classic and contemporary interiors.
Our Bradbury Stainless Steel Pole is a popular choice for customers looking for a high-quality metal curtain pole with a clean, understated appearance. Manufactured from stainless steel and available in bespoke lengths, it offers a durable and stylish solution for straight windows, bay windows and longer spans.
Traditional curtain poles remain a favourite for homeowners who appreciate the decorative appearance of rings and the simplicity of hand-drawn curtain operation.
Silent Gliss Metropole Uncorded Curtain Poles
The Silent Gliss Metropole range combines the appearance of a decorative curtain pole with the smooth performance of a curtain track. Rather than using traditional curtain rings, Metropole poles feature discreet internal gliders concealed within the pole profile.
This innovative design provides exceptionally smooth and quiet operation while maintaining the elegant look of a contemporary curtain pole.
Silent Gliss Metropole poles are particularly popular for:
- Bay windows
- Heavy curtains
- Wide window spans
- Contemporary interiors
- Wave curtains
- Large glazed areas and bifold doors
The internal glider system also allows curtains to move smoothly past brackets, making Metropole poles an excellent choice for larger windows and more complex installations.
Which Silent Gliss Metropole Pole is Right for You?
Choosing the right Metropole pole is often a balance between the scale of the room, the size of the window and the look you wish to achieve.
The Silent Gliss 7600 features a slim 23mm profile, making it ideal for smaller windows and interiors where a more understated appearance is preferred.
The Silent Gliss 7610 offers a versatile 30mm diameter and is suitable for most standard-sized windows. It provides a contemporary look without dominating the room.
The Silent Gliss 7605 Metro Flat features a distinctive 36mm flat profile, making it a popular choice for modern homes and architectural interiors where clean lines are important.
The Silent Gliss 7620 is the largest profile within the range at 50mm and is designed to create a stronger visual statement. It works particularly well in rooms with larger windows, higher ceilings and more generous proportions.
