Silent Gliss Double Hand Drawn Curtain Tracks – 6840 / 1090

A double curtain track is ideal for layering a voile / sheer fabric with a heavier curtain, offering flexibility in privacy and shading throughout the day.  Layering fabrics is a stylish way to dress your window and adds warmth and texture to your interiors.

This product has been set up to help with purchasing two tracks to be used as a double system.  Please note the tracks are not joined together so for ceiling fixing you will just position one track in front of the other, allowing room for your curtains in between.  The Silent Gliss Universal smart fix brackets are required for wall fixing, as these brackets allow two tracks to be fitted onto the same bracket (please see the bracket tab for further information and an installation video).  The Universal smart fix brackets are only available in white, silver and black so the double track colour options have been co-ordinated with these brackets.

Silent Gliss 6840 and 1090 Curtain Tracks

The Silent Gliss 6840 curtain track is a neat, attractive curtain track suitable for medium weight curtains and when ordered with wave gliders compatible with wave curtains.  The Silent Gliss 1090 track is a slim track, ideal for a lightweight voile / sheer.  The 1090 is only suitable for a gathered or pinch pleat curtain heading.  The two tracks work well together with the 1090 track typically positioned behind the 6840 track.  The tracks are available in white or silver.

If you would like a double wave system please consider the Silent Gliss 6840 / 6010, or the 6840 / 6840 double track systems that can accommodate a double wave.

Glider Options

The 1090 track is only available with standard gliders, suitable for gathered or pinch pleat curtains.  You can specify which gliders you would like on the 6840 track.  Standard 2C gliders are suitable for pencil, pinch pleat and other gathered headed curtains.  If your curtains are on the heavy side we would recommend upgrading to the roller gliders as these offer a smoother opening and closing of your curtains.  If you are hanging a wave curtain please choose 60mm or 80mm wave gliders.  Click here for more information on the wave curtain heading style.

Ceiling Fixing

If you are ceiling fixing your tracks you can position the tracks accordingly to accommodate the spacing required for your curtains.

Wall Fixing

For wall fixing, the spacing in between the curtains is dictated by the bracket projection.  If you order the double track with standard or roller gliders on the 6840 track you can choose between the 150mm and 200mm Universal Smart fix brackets.  If you specify a 60mm or 80mm wave glider on the 6840 track we will supply the 200mm Universal Smart fix brackets as you will require a longer projection to allow space for the folds on the wave curtains.  The wall brackets will be colour matched to your track.

Bay Windows

This track is also suitable for bay or L shaped windows, however they do need to be bent in the factory.  Please download our measurement form here.  For wall fixing please supply the wall measurements and we will make the correct projections for your curtains.  For ceiling fixing please either supply the wall measurements and we will make our standard projections for double tracks (or if you know exactly how far away from the wall you would like each track to be installed please state this on the measuring form).  Alternatively, please supply back of track measurements and we will make the tracks to your measurements without any projections being made.  Please get in touch if we can offer any advice or assistance with your purchase.

Please note these tracks are all made to measure and cannot be returned or exchanged unless faulty.

Measuring Guide for a Curtain Track:

Decide where the track is to be positioned. This is usually above the window with the track extending either side beyond the window.

Step 1: Measure the width of your window.

Step 2: The chart below provides guidance for making an allowance either side of your window for your curtain stack (shown as ‘B’ on the diagram above). This is particularly important if you want the curtains to clear the glazing when open. Please note the curtain heading, fabric thickness and lining specification will affect the width of the stack back. How much you would like the curtains to clear the window is down to personal preference. The chart below however is a good guide.

Step 3: Add the width of your window onto the ‘B’ measurement (x 2 for a pair of curtains) to give you the finished track length (A).

Recess Fitting

If you are fitting your track wall to wall or within a recess we recommend you take the wall to wall measurement and deduct 1cm for hand drawn and corded tracks to ensure the track can be fitted easily within the recess. For motorised tracks we recommend you deduct 2cm from your wall to wall measurement to ensure enough space to fit the curtain around the motor.

Measuring Curtain Track lengths for Wave Curtains

If you are opting for a wave curtain the stack back is a mathematical calculation. A curtain stacks back 18cm per metre of curtain track with an 80mm wave heading, and 23cm per metre of track with a 60mm wave heading.

Please see the example below:

On a 3m track for a pair of curtains with an 80mm wave the stack back will be 3m x 18cm = 54cm / 2 = 27cm each side.

For a single curtain the curtain will stack 54cm one side.

On a 3m track for a pair of curtains with a 60mm wave the stack back will be 3m x 23cm = 69cm / 2 = 34.5cm each side.

For a single curtain the curtain will stack 69cm one side.

Wave curtains are particularly popular over bi-fold or sliding doors or over large expanses of floor to ceiling glass. If there is wall space to the side of the glazing the track length can be worked out so the curtain neatly sits on the side wall(s) clearing the glazing to allow the light to flood into your room.
