Curved Curtain Tracks

TrackTrim by Blindspace offers a sleek, seamless solution for integrating curtain tracks directly into the ceiling, providing a clean, trimless finish for corner window installations. Our innovative design accommodates various curtain track systems, from those that cannot be curved to those that can bend to a radius as tight as 250mm.

Flush-Mounted Corner Junction Curtain Tracks

Flush-Mounted Corner Junction Curtain Tracks

  • TrackTrim for flush-mounted straight curtain tracks provides a versatile and straightforward solution for corner windows or rooms where curtains need to cover adjacent walls. The system is available in both independent and combined corner configurations.
  • Instead of a curved track, this setup uses two straight tracks that meet at a 90-degree angle. This simplifies the installation process and allows for independent operation of the curtains on each wall.
  • TrackTrim offers two options for the corner connection: independent motor ends and return ends, or a combined corner component that allows the two tracks to meet seamlessly at the corner with a dedicated TrackTrim corner end.
  • Both tracks can be tailored to fit the specific dimensions of the room, ensuring a flush and precise installation within the ceiling recess.
  • This configuration provides flexibility in controlling each curtain individually, making it a practical choice for rooms where separate operation is desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

What radius should be used for the 90-degree curve?

The radius for the 90-degree curve depends on the curtain type and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Typically, a larger radius ensures smoother operation, however, a smaller radius is often preferred for aesthetic reasons. The most common radius used is 300mm.

What are the benefits of using two straight tracks instead of a curved track?

Using two straight tracks simplifies installation, as it avoids the complexities of bending tracks to match a curve. Additionally, it allows for independent operation of the curtains on each wall, providing greater flexibility in light and privacy control.

How do I choose between independent motor ends and a combined corner component?

The choice depends on your design preference and functional needs. Independent motor ends allow for specific placement of the ends. A combined corner component offers a closer, more integrated look.

How do I ensure the curtain tracks fit the recessed space?

To ensure a perfect fit, take precise measurements of the lengths of each straight track. Provide these measurements to the manufacturer, along with details about the recess, to ensure the tracks align perfectly when installed.

How are the corner curtain tracks installed within TrackTrim?

The tracks are installed using fixing brackets mounted along the curtain tracks. For more details, refer to the installation instructions.

Can I install manual tracks for corner windows with this setup?

Yes, manual tracks can also be installed with this configuration. TrackTrim profiles and brand-specific brackets ensure a flush-mounted appearance, even in corner installations.

  • The track is available for both electric and manual curtain systems and can be customized to fit specific dimensions.
  • TrackTrim offers different curve sections, each with a 22.5-degree angle. To form a 90-degree bend, four curve sections are required.
  • The radius of the curve is crucial to maintain smooth operation and a neat appearance. The recommended radius will depend on the curtain type and manufacturer specifications.
  • Curve sections are available in various radius sizes, ranging from 250 mm to 508 mm, allowing for flexibility in design based on the space and curtain requirements.
  • Both motorized and manual tracks can be installed flush with the ceiling using TrackTrim profiles, ensuring a consistent look across all windows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What radius should be used for the 90-degree curve?

The radius for the 90-degree curve depends on the curtain type and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Typically, a larger radius ensures smoother operation, however, a smaller radius is often preferred for aesthetic reasons. The most common radius used is 300mm.

Can the L-shaped track be used with dual curtain tracks?

Yes, dual L-shaped tracks can be installed in parallel, following the same 90-degree curve for both tracks. The distance between the tracks should follow the manufacturer's guidance to ensure proper curtain movement and stacking. If a distance of 140mm is selected, the 300mm radius and 440mm radius curve sections are often recommended.

How do I ensure the curtain track fits the recessed space?

To ensure the curtain track fits perfectly within the recessed space, it is essential to trace the exact outline of the space and provide a template to the company bending the curtain track. This template should include precise measurements of the curve, including the radius and any specific details related to the recess.

How is the L-shaped track installed within TrackTrim?

Fixing brackets are primarily mounted along the straight sections of the track. Extra brackets or countersunk screws can be used in the curve section. See installation instructions for further details.

What can be challenges when installing recessed curved curtain tracks?

One of the main challenges when installing recessed curved curtain tracks is achieving the exact radius required for the track to fit correctly. The curve must be precise, as any deviation can cause the curtain track to not fit the recess space. Working closely with the track bender and providing accurate measurements is crucial for a successful installation.

Can I install an L-shaped manual track flush with the ceiling?

Yes, manual tracks of the right dimensions can be installed with brand-specific brackets to ensure a flush-mounted appearance, even with a 90-degree curve.

Dual L-Shaped Curtain Tracks

Blindspace ® EXAMPLE DRAWINGS

Dual L-Shaped Curtain Tracks

  • Dual L-shaped curtain tracks provide a versatile solution for spaces requiring layered curtains with a clean, recessed appearance. The tracks are installed in parallel, with each track dedicated to a different layer of curtains.
  • The two tracks should be installed separately, maintaining the distance recommended by the curtain track manufacturer for smooth operation and proper curtain stacking.
  • TrackTrim offers curve sections, each with a 22.5-degree angle, to form the 90-degree bends required for L-shaped configurations. Four curve sections are used for each 90-degree bend.
  • The distance between the two tracks typically ranges from 140mm to 180mm, depending on the curtain type and stack width. When curved, the difference in radius should match the track spacing; for example, with a 140mm distance, the 300 mm and 440 mm radius curves can be used for a symmetric look.
  • Curve sections are available in various radius sizes, ranging from 250 mm to 508 mm, allowing customization based on space and design requirements.
  • Both dual motorized and manual dual tracks can be installed flush with the ceiling using TrackTrim profiles, ensuring a consistent and modern aesthetic across the space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should be the distance between the two tracks in a dual L-shaped configuration?

The distance between the two tracks is typically 140-180mm, depending on the curtain track manufacturer, curtain type, and stack width. For corner windows, matching the difference in radius with the track spacing is recommended to achieve a balanced appearance.

Combining Curtains & Blinds in Corner Windows

  • While roller and cellular blinds are highly effective for managing light, heat, glare, and privacy, curtains add softness and elegance to the space. Combining blinds with curtains allows for optimal control over light and privacy, as well as enhanced aesthetic appeal.
  • Blinds are typically installed closer to the window, behind the curtains, to maintain a streamlined appearance.
  • Blindspace boxes can be either mitre-cut or butt-jointed and can be seamlessly integrated with curtain tracks for corner windows and doors.
  • Boxes with no skim flange are ideal for reducing the distance between the blind and curtain track, allowing for a tighter, more cohesive installation.
  • Various box configurations and track options are available to suit different design needs. For more information on box options, refer to the sections on concealed blinds in corner windows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should be the distance between the curtain track and Blindspace box?

The distance between the curtain track and the blind box typically ranges from 70-90mm, measured from the center of the curtain track to where the blind descends. This distance may vary depending on the specific curtain system used. It is advisable to consult with a local shading specialist for precise recommendations.

What are the curtain track options for corner windows?

Curtain tracks for corner windows can be configured with curved sections offering various radius options, or with butt-jointed track ends for a sharp, angular look. For more details on these options, please refer to the dedicated curtain track page.

Is it possible to combine dual blinds and/or dual curtain tracks in corners?

Yes, dual blinds and dual curtain tracks can be combined in corner setups. However, it is important to note that each layer requires space, so the inner curtain track or blind will need to be positioned further from the window to accommodate all components.
