Silent Gliss curtain tracks are superb, offering exceptional quality at good value prices. However, there are many tracks to choose from which can be a bit of a minefield working out which curtain track is most suitable for your requirements!

Silent Gliss curtain tracks are world famous and well known for their quality and reliability. They were first invented in 1952 when a Swiss engineer combined nylon gliders with aluminium tracks. The result a brilliant silent curtain track. Silent Gliss have since gone on to make tracks which could be bent and can be electrically operated by a push button control.

To find out more about the full range of Silent Gliss curtain tracks please read our buyers guide below. We also have a YouTube video available on our channel where Debbie from The Home of Interiors will explain the different Silent Gliss track options.

Silent Gliss Curtain Track Buyers Guide

All Silent Gliss curtain tracks come with universal brackets, this means they can be wall or ceiling fixed. There are extension brackets available, so if you have this requirement please get in touch with The Home of Interiors and we will create a bespoke quotation to meet your individual requirements.

All of the Silent Gliss curtain tracks can be cut to your exact measurements (to the mm), which is ideal if you are fitting wall to wall and also avoids you having to cut yourself. All of the tracks are available up to a 6 meter length as a single track profile which means you can join 2 of these together to give you a 12 meter stretch for extra large rooms.

The Silent Gliss 6 meter profile is an ideal solution for extra wide windows and bi-fold doors. As the brackets do not interfere with the track profile at all it also means you can position one curtain on the track and draw it the whole way across to the other side, offering more flexibility in comparison to other curtain tracks on the market.

Silent Gliss Curtain Tracks for Bay or L Shaped Windows

All of the Silent Gliss curtain tracks can be bent for bay or L shaped windows, however a specialist bending tool is required so we do need to bend the tracks for you. Silent Gliss are brilliant for bay windows, as the brackets do not interfere with the track profile there is a smooth glide around the corners. Double brackets are available so you can position 2 tracks one in front of the other, ideal for nets, voiles and curtains. If you have a requirement for wall fixed curtains please contact us for a bespoke quotation. If you ordering for ceiling fixed tracks you can simply position one in front of the other and order the 2 tracks separately.

Due to the long track profiles available as single pieces (and you can join 2 together with connecting bridges to double the maximum widths) they are a great solution for extra wide windows and bi-fold doors. Maximum width information is stated on the product specification tab on each product page.

Hand Drawn or Corded Tracks?

The first decision you need to make when choosing Silent Gliss is whether you would like hand drawn or corded tracks. If you decide to go for a hand drawn option you may wish to purchase a Silent Gliss draw rod, which is a long slim wand which attaches to the lead glider on your track and sits behind the curtain when not in use. You can use the draw rod to open and close your curtains. A draw rod is ideal if you have delicate or light coloured fabrics to stop finger marks on the curtains.

Hand Drawn Options for Light Weight Curtains:

If you have light curtains, nets or voiles the Silent Gliss 1090 is a slim, unobtrusive, yet deceptively strong track. Available in white and silver it works well as a double track with a Silent Gliss 1080, 1280, 3840, 3000 or 3900 track. Hang voiles off the discrete 1090 track at the back and one of the other tracks can take the heavier curtains at the front.

The Silent Gliss 1021 (designed to be wall fixed) and 1025 track (designed to be ceiling fixed) have been designed to be fixed directly onto window frames, doors or wooden battens, and are widely used on trucks, boats, motor homes, camper vans and caravans. They have pre-drilled holes so no requirement for brackets. These tracks are available in white, silver, bronze and gold.

Hand Drawn Options for Light to Medium Weight Curtains:

The Silent Gliss 1080 track is extremely popular and is suitable for medium weight curtains. The 1080 track is available in white, silver, black, bronze, brushed aluminium, gold and cream. Download the Silent Gliss 1080 specification brochure here for more information and dimensions.

The standard brackets can be wall or ceiling fixed and are hidden by the track profile when installed for a neat finish. Installation is straight forwards too. Simply secure the brackets onto the wall / ceiling and then the track is put into position and clipped in place.

Silent Gliss 1080 Benefits

• A superb track suitable for medium weight curtains
• Easy installation with universal brackets for wall or ceiling fixing
• Single tracks available up to 6m lengths – if you are ordering a long track please bear in mind the logistics of getting the track to the room it is going to be installed in.  It’s tricky to get a 6m track around a corner!!  We can split longer lengths if required for practical reasons.
• Suitable for up to 1200cm widths! 2 tracks can be joined together with a connecting bridge
• Tracks come complete with siliconised gliders, brackets & fixings
• Excellent for bay windows (but we do need to bend the tracks for you!)

Ceiling Fixed – Silent Gliss 3840

The other option for light to medium weight curtains is the Silent Gliss 3840 curtain track. The 3840 is available corded or uncorded and is available in antique bronze, black, gold, silver and white. The profile has been designed to be ceiling fixed using the ceiling fix clamp style of bracket. This provides a very flush fit to the ceiling. Wall fix brackets are also available. The slightly curved track profile (shown below) offers a contemporary, sophisticated look and looks really neat and stylish. The profile looks the same from both sides so it can be used as a room divider.

You can upgrade to roller glider on this track. This is recommended if your curtains are on the heavy side of medium to increase the glide operation. Please call us for a quotation.

This track is also compatible with the Silent Gliss wave gliders.  Wave gliders give a neat fold to your curtains for a really polished look.  They are particularly popular for use at bi-fold doors or extra wide windows. Please note you do need to use specific wave heading tape on your curtains so you can’t install shop bought curtains on a curtain track with wave gliders.  If you are having your curtains made you will need to tell your curtain maker you would like wave gliders. For more information please click here to be taken to the article about wave heading. For a quotation all we need to know is whether you would like the track hand drawn or corded, the colour of the track, track length and if you require 80mm or 60mm wave gliders.
