Recessed Curtain Tracks

TrackTrim  by Blindspace is installed within the ceiling during construction to flush-mount curtain tracks from popular manufacturers. No visible flanges or fixing brackets, just a trimless flush finish.

Flush-Mounted Manual Curtain Tracks

Flush-Mounted Manual Curtain Tracks

  • Manual tracks can be straight or curved, and are available with flat ends, with or without skim flange.
  • Manual curtain tracks smaller than 36x28mm, such as Silent Gliss 6970, can be installed with brand-specific brackets to ensure a flush-mounted track.
  • In houses with motorized tracks from companies such as Somfy and Lutron, the same tracks can be used in windows with manual tracks for a consistent look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you have ends without skim flange?

Sometimes the curtain track is installed all the way up to a wall and there is no space or need for a skim flange.

How are manual curtain tracks installed inside TrackTrim?

Fixing brackets are mounted to the back of the curtain track where holes are drilled. These brackets are then fixed to the TrackTrim profile using short screws accessed through the holes in the curtain track.

Can the curtain track be curved in corner windows?

Yes, Blindspace provides curve sections for corner windows. See example further down on the page.

Can smaller manual curtain tracks be used?

It will not look good to use smaller curtain tracks as it will only leave open space on the sides inside the TrackTrim profile.

Flush-Mounted Electric Curtain Tracks

  • The TrackTrim flush ceiling solution is available for drapery systems from companies such as Somfy, Lutron, Silent Gliss, Qmotion, Crestron, Goelst, Erfal, Coulisse, and Trietex.
  • Each manufacturer has its unique shaped motor end and return end, and Blindspace has developed end sets and fixing brackets to ensure a centered and flush-mounted track, adjusting for differences in track sizes.
  • Some manufacturers, such as Silent Gliss, have more than one electric curtain track system with different motors, weight capacity, and features.
  • Some manufacturers, such as Somfy, offer options for inverted motor installations, with the motor positioned to stand up and be concealed inside a ceiling recess.
  • Tracks can be either straight or curved, with several options available.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what curtain track system to specify and use?

Consult with your interior designer or shading specialist and decide on the exact curtain track system, including motor placement, track length, and control mechanisms (e.g., wiring for smart home integration). Make sure to account for the weight and type of curtains you plan to use.

When do I need to decide what curtain manufacturer to use?

Engage with your interior designer or shading specialist early in the process to discuss the recessed curtain track. Depending on your requirements, different systems are suitable and as the motor and return ends are brand specific, this should be considered before ceiling work commences.

How to install flush-mounted curtain tracks using TrackTrim?

Fixing brackets are mounted to the back of the curtain track where holes are drilled. These brackets are then fixed to the TrackTrim profile using short screws accessed through the holes in the curtain track.

How to install TrackTrim?

Please see installation instructions. Track profiles and end sets should be fixed through the back of the profile and through the flanges with screws. Scrim tape should be used to reduce the risk of cracks.

Can the curtain track be curved in corner windows?

Yes, Blindspace provides curve sections for corner windows. See example further down on the page.

Dual Flush-Mounted Curtain Tracks

Blindspace ® EXAMPLE DRAWINGS

Dual Flush-Mounted Curtain Tracks

  • The two tracks should be installed separately at the distance recommended by the curtain track manufacturer.
  • The distance between two electric curtain tracks is typically 140-180mm and depends on the curtain type and stack width.
  • When used in curves, the difference in radius should be the distance between the two tracks. So if the distance is 140mm and the inner radius is 300mm, the outer radius should be 440mm to maintain a symmetric look.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should be the distance between the two curtain tracks?

The distance between two electric curtain tracks is typically 140-180mm and depends on the curtain track manufacturer, curtain type, and stack width.

Can dual curtain tracks be curved for corner windows?

Yes, Blindspace provides curve sections for corner windows. See example further down on the page.

Can I use the same radius for the two tracks in a corner?

No, not if you want a symmetric look. The track closest to the window will need more space and thus a larger radius.

Combining Blinds Curtains

Blindspace ® EXAMPLE DRAWINGS

for Standard Roller Blind and Curtain Track

  • Blinds are typically installed behind curtains.
  • Head boxes can be installed within the ceiling or wall, and are typically the same length as the window opening.
  • Curtain tracks can also be recessed into a wall section or a ceiling. These tracks are often wider than the window opening to allow for the stack of curtains to hang next to the windows.
  • Boxes with no skim flange can be used to reduce the distance between the blind and curtain track.
  • Single or dual blinds can be combined with single or dual curtain tracks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What distance is required between the curtain track and Blindspace box?

The curtain track manufacturer specifies a minimum distance between track and wall to allow for the stack of curtains. This distance can be used to set out the distance between the track and box opening, and is typically 70-90mm.

Should the box to conceal blinds and curtain track be the same length?

Typically the track is longer to allow for the curtain stacks to sit on the side of the window.

How to specify boxes and tracks for corners?

See separate page about corner windows. There are several options for both boxes and tracks.
