Silent Gliss System 1080 Uncorded Aluminium Curtain Track – now also available in black!

The Silent Gliss 1080 curtain track system is a versatile hand operated aluminium curtain track.  Suitable for medium weight curtains. This track is available up to 6m as a single piece.  Any tracks ordered over 6m will be supplied in 2 equal halves (unless requested otherwise) with a connecting bridge. This track can be made to your exact length at no extra cost. Standard lengths up to 500cm (not cut to size) in white only, ordered with universal brackets, are available on a next day delivery service.  All other colours and any cut to size / bay window tracks have a 3-4 working day lead-time. This track comes complete with gliders, brackets and fixings.

Now available in black!

Complementing the black track profile, track components are now also available in black delivering a sleek, sophisticated look.  When ordering your track you can now choose between black or white gliders.  Please note the end caps on the actual track will match the colour of the track profile.

Silent Gliss have launched a new (Silent Gliss system 6380) hand drawn, medium weight track that is similar to the 1080 track but is compatible with the new 2C glider technology offering a quieter draw.  This track is however only available in the standard white.  The Silent Gliss hand drawn curtain track 6380 is also compatible with the wave curtain heading so is an alternative if you are considering wave curtains.  For more information on the wave heading style please visit our blog post.

The 1080 tracks can also be bent for a bay window. We do need to bend them for you as they can’t be bent by hand.  Please download our measurement form here for a bay or L shaped window. You can attach the form to your order.  We love talking to our customers so if you need any advice or have any questions please don’t hesitate to call us on 01590 615775.

Please watch our YouTube video for further information and options on the brackets available.  Please click on the image to view the bracket dimensions.

Nylon Brackets

There are 3 nylon brackets suitable for wall and ceiling fixing:

3630 – standard bracket available in white, brown and black.

  • white brackets are supplied for white, anodic grey, matt white and silver tracks
  • brown brackets for antique bronze tracks
  • black brackets for black or charcoal tracks

3655 – long bracket available in white only.

3660 – extra long bracket available in white only.

There is also a specific ceiling fix bracket 3603 available in black or white.

Silent Gliss Smart Fix Bracket Upgrade for Wall Fixing

If you are wall fixing and would like a longer bracket extension or would like the brackets to match the colour of your track we offer the option of upgrading to the Silent Gliss Smart Fix brackets.  These are metal brackets that are supplied with a magnetic cover plate to hide the fixings.  Please note there is an additional charge for these brackets.

Square Smart Fix Bracket Upgrade

For all smart fix brackets we offer the option of upgrading to the square smart fix brackets.  This is a popular choice as the square smart fix brackets are more discreet than the standard brackets.

Bracket Quantity

To work out the number of brackets you will receive with your track divide the track length in cm by 100, then multiply this by 1.5, add 1 and round up to the nearest whole number.

For example on a 300cm track you will receive:

300/100 = 3 x 1.5 = 4.5 + 1 = 5.5 round up to 6 brackets.

 

14 gliders per metre are supplied with this curtain track as standard (product code 3533).  You can add extra gliders to your track if required.  Gliders are available in black or white and can be specified when ordering your track.

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.

Please read our measuring guide blog post for further information.
