Silent Gliss 6243 - Uncorded Metal Recess Track

When you want the curtains to take centre stage, the Silent Gliss 6243 offers one of the most discreet solutions available. Designed to sit flush within the ceiling, this recessed curtain track creates the impression that your curtains simply glide out of the ceiling, leaving no visible brackets or exposed track.

It's an increasingly popular choice in contemporary homes, extensions and renovation projects where clean lines and minimalist interiors are a priority. Equally, it works beautifully in more traditional settings, allowing the fabric rather than the hardware to become the focal point.

Whether you're installing full-height curtains across large glazed doors or adding a luxurious finish to a bedroom, the Silent Gliss 6243 delivers understated elegance with the smooth operation Silent Gliss is renowned for.

Smooth Hand Drawn Operation Every Day

The Silent Gliss 6243 is a premium hand drawn curtain track, designed to glide effortlessly with minimal resistance.

Suitable for medium to heavy weight curtains, the track can be supplied with a choice of gliders to suit your curtain heading and fabric weight. Standard gliders provide smooth everyday operation, while roller gliders are recommended for heavier curtains where even lighter movement is required.

If you're choosing wave curtains, dedicated wave gliders create the perfectly even folds that have become one of the most popular contemporary curtain styles.

Made to Measure for Every Window

Every Silent Gliss 6243 is supplied as a made to measure curtain track, manufactured to your exact dimensions.

Rather than adapting standard stock lengths on site, your track is prepared to the size you require, helping to achieve a neater installation and a professional finish. Tracks up to six metres are supplied in one continuous length wherever possible, while longer tracks are supplied in sections with a connecting bridge to ensure smooth curtain operation.

Ideal for Bay Windows and Curved Installations

The Silent Gliss 6243 isn't limited to straight windows.

As a made to measure bay window curtain track, it can be professionally bent to suit a wide range of bay window configurations, curved walls and bespoke layouts. Whether you're installing curtains within a traditional bay or following the curve of a modern extension, the track is manufactured to the exact shape required, allowing the curtains to glide smoothly around every bend.

Choosing a recessed system for a bay window creates an especially elegant result, with the curtains appearing to flow naturally around the entire window without interruption.

Designed for Wave Curtains

The Silent Gliss 6243 works exceptionally well with the Silent Gliss Wave system.

Wave curtains create soft, consistent folds that retain their shape whether the curtains are open or closed. They also stack more neatly than many traditional curtain headings, making them an excellent choice where you want to maximise natural light without compromising on style.

Choose from 60mm or 80mm wave gliders, including roller wave gliders for heavier curtain fabrics.

Installation

The Silent Gliss 6243 is designed to be recessed into the ceiling during installation.

Once a suitable channel has been prepared, the track is fixed directly through the pre-drilled holes positioned at 200mm centres, creating a secure installation with a virtually invisible finish. We always recommend  that when installing a 6243, you do this before plastering to that the track remains clean and away from dust particals which willesure that the track stays clean for smooth runnning. Also, we recommend that when fitting the track, it is secured into a wooden joist or beam for secure installation.

This type of installation is particularly popular in new builds, home extensions and renovation projects where a clean architectural appearance is desired.
