Curtain tracks (often referred to as curtain rails) offer a sleek, discreet and reliable way to hang curtains, allowing the fabric to take centre stage while delivering exceptionally smooth operation. Unlike decorative curtain poles, the gliders run within the track itself, creating a clean, minimalist finish that suits both contemporary and traditional interiors.
At The Curtain Pole & Track Company, we specialise in made-to-measure Silent Gliss curtain tracks, supplying bespoke solutions for everything from standard windows to complex bay windows, wide expanses of glazing, bifold doors and fully automated smart home installations.
Whether you're replacing an existing curtain rail or specifying a complete window treatment for a new project, every curtain track is manufactured to your exact measurements by a team that specialises in made-to-measure window treatments every day.

Why Buy From Us?
Buying a made-to-measure curtain track is very different from buying an off-the-shelf curtain rail.
Most DIY curtain rails are supplied in standard lengths and adapted at home. We do things differently.
Every week we manufacture bespoke curtain tracks for everything from listed cottages to large contemporary homes with six-metre glazing, giving us first-hand experience of almost every window configuration imaginable.
We don't simply sell curtain tracks—we manufacture, bend and assemble made-to-measure Silent Gliss systems every week, giving us practical experience that goes far beyond a standard online retailer.
Every curtain track we supply is manufactured specifically for your order. Before production begins, every measurement is checked using specialist software, producing a full-size drawing that we send to you for approval. Once confirmed, our skilled engineers manufacture and prepare your track using specialist equipment to ensure every bend, bracket position and fixing point is exactly as specified.
This combination of specialist knowledge, precision manufacturing and practical experience means your curtain track doesn't just fit on paper—it fits and performs exactly as it should in your home.
It's this process that gives our customers confidence that their curtain track will fit perfectly and operate smoothly from day one.
Made to Measure Curtain Tracks for Every Window
Every window is different, which is why every curtain track we supply is made to measure.
Whether you're furnishing a straightforward window, a wide glazed extension, patio doors or a complex architectural feature, we'll manufacture a curtain track that's tailored to your exact requirements.
Many of our Silent Gliss systems are available in single lengths of up to six metres, making them ideal for large glazing where uninterrupted curtain movement is essential.
Bay Window Curtain Tracks
Bay windows demand precision.
Our experienced team professionally bends Silent Gliss curtain tracks to follow the exact angles or curves of your bay window, ensuring your curtains glide smoothly around every corner without snagging or unnecessary resistance.
Whether you have a Victorian bay, Edwardian bay, curved bay or a completely bespoke design, we'll manufacture a solution that's made specifically for your home.
Choosing the Right Curtain Track
Many customers begin by searching for a curtain rail, when what they actually need is a made-to-measure curtain track.
Choosing the right system isn't simply about selecting a product. It depends on several factors, including:
- The weight of your curtains
- The size and shape of your window
- Whether the track needs to bend
- Your preferred curtain heading
- Whether you'd like hand-drawn, corded or electric operation
- Whether the track will be wall or ceiling fixed
If you're unsure which system is most suitable, our experienced team is always happy to help you choose the right solution for your home.
Hand Drawn, Corded and Electric Curtain Tracks
Our collection includes hand-drawn systems for everyday use, corded tracks for larger or heavier curtains and fully motorised Silent Gliss electric curtain tracks for effortless operation.
We also supply systems compatible with Somfy and Lutron home automation, allowing your curtains to be operated using remote controls, wall switches, timers or smart home integration.
For layered window treatments, double curtain tracks provide an elegant solution for combining sheer curtains with decorative curtains while maintaining independent operation.
Manufactured with Care
Every made-to-measure curtain track is individually checked before manufacture by our experienced team.
Using specialist software and precision equipment, we verify every dimension before production begins before producing a full-size drawing for your approval. Only once every detail has been confirmed do we begin manufacturing your bespoke curtain track.
Because we hold many Silent Gliss components in stock, we're also able to meet demanding lead times without compromising on quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a curtain track and a curtain rail?
The terms are often used interchangeably. Traditionally, a curtain rail refers to a track system with concealed gliders, while a curtain pole uses decorative rings. Today, many people search for curtain rails when they're actually looking for a made-to-measure curtain track.
Can curtain tracks be bent for bay windows?
Yes. Many Silent Gliss curtain tracks can be professionally bent to suit bay windows, curved walls and other specialist window shapes.
Are Silent Gliss curtain tracks suitable for heavy curtains?
Yes. Silent Gliss manufacture systems capable of carrying everything from lightweight voiles to heavy interlined curtains while maintaining exceptionally smooth operation.
Should I choose a wall-fixed or ceiling-fixed curtain track?
Both options are available. Ceiling fixing creates a clean, contemporary appearance, while wall fixing is ideal where ceiling installation isn't practical. We'll be happy to recommend the most suitable fixing method for your project.
