Light Weight Curtain Track

A lightweight curtain track is the thinnest and lightest of our curtain track options. Made from aluminium and consisting of a slim profile, this track is ideal for handling net curtains or lighter or smaller curtains that need a more discreate track. The light nature of these curtain tracks makes it ideal for caravans and boats, where the windows are typically smaller than average, and weight needs to be kept to a minimum. Ideal for curtains with a total weight of less than 5kg.

This product is available up to a maximum width of 12m. Please note that lengths over 4.5m (approx) require an inline joiner connecting the tracks. This is automatically included; you do not need to purchase it separately.

Light Weight Curtain Track Technical Details

The Light Weight Curtain Track is a hand-drawn aluminum curtain track which is white powder-coated. It holds gliders which are supplied at 16 per metre.

The track is 21mm high from the top of the track to the glider, and so deduct this measurement when working out the drop for your curtains.

The track and the bracket combined protrudes 36mm from the surface it is fixed to.

Installing a Lightweight Curtain Track

With the Lightweight Hand Drawn curtain track has the option to be top fixed or face fixed. To top fix the track means to attach it to the ceiling or top of the recess, whereas a face fix means to attach the track to the wall. 

Step 1

Put the brackets on to the track, spaced 400mm apart

Measuring Curtain Tracks

We’ve made it super easy – just supply us with the width that you wish the track to be and enter it into our website. There are no brackets on the end of our track so we do not need to make any deductions to the track to make it fit. The width measurement you supply is the width that the track will be made to.

We recommend using a metal tape measure to ensure accuracy. For cord drawn tracks please measure the distance from the floor up to where the track will be fitted (this is called the Install Height) so that we are able to ensure the cord will be made to the correct length and in keeping with child safety regulations whilst still be in reach for adults.

The Right Size Guarantee covers all made-to-measure blinds and curtains except our Cassette Blinds.
