The Silent Gliss 6380 curtain track is a hand drawn, rectangular shaped track suitable for medium weight curtains. The new quieter 2C gliders are supplied as standard. If your curtains are on the heavy side we would recommend you upgrade to roller gliders.
For lengths over 6m you will need to order 2 tracks and a connecting bridge that you will find in accessories below. This track can be made to your exact length at no extra cost and comes complete with gliders, brackets, end stops and fixings.
This track is also suitable for the popular wave heading system. The wave gliders are evenly spaced either 80mm or 60mm apart and give a neat fold on your curtains for a stylish finish. Please note you do need to use specific wave heading tape so the wave gliders are not suitable for curtains with other heading types such as pinch pleat or pencil pleat. Please click here for more information on the Wave system.
We are delighted to be offering a wide range of Laura Ashley curtains on our website.
Wave curtains
We specialise in the wave curtain heading and are here to offer help and advice. We offer a made to measure wave curtain making service in a wide variety of fabrics including Silent Gliss, Clarke & Clarke, Prestigious Textiles, Ashley Wilde, Harlequin and Sanderson to name a few of the fabric houses we work with. Click here for more information on the wave heading and shop suitable fabrics. A wave curtain needs to be made specifically to fit your track length so the curtains arrive with the correct number of curtain hooks to match the number of gliders on the track. If you order your track and curtains from us we will ensure these match so your curtains will be ready to hang upon delivery. Please call us on 01590 615775 or email sales@thehomeofinteriors.co.uk if you’d like any fabric swatches sending out or would like to discuss your project in more detail. The standard lead-time on our wave curtains is 3-4 weeks (subject to fabric availability).
This curtain track will be supplied with the nylon style wall fix brackets, or the nylon top fix style brackets as standard when the track is ordered with standard or roller gliders.
If you are ordering the track with wave gliders the top fix nylon bracket will be supplied for ceiling fixing. If wall fixing the Silent Gliss smart fix brackets will be supplied. The 80mm bracket will be supplied with 60mm wave gliders and the 100mm bracket will be supplied with 80mm wave gliders. This is to ensure the track sits far enough away from the wall for the wave to fold without touching the wall.
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.
This track is available to order with the new 2C standard gliders (that are even quieter than the old standard gliders), roller gliders or wave gliders. 14 2C (standard) gliders are supplier per metre or 10 roller gliders are supplier as standard per metre. The number of wave gliders required will be calculated on the track length ordered.

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.
