The complete guide
Choosing bendable curtain track ceiling mount
Planning a bendable curtain-track run
Start with the route your curtains need to follow. This white PVC track has a metal strip inside, so it bends by hand. The 5 m kit includes 5 m of track, 6 end caps, 40 rollers, 42 curtain hooks, 17 anchor and screw sets and 16 mounting brackets. Curtains are not included. The sections below cover what to check before you buy.
Why choose ceiling mounting?
Ceiling mounting can keep the wall above a window clear and provide a continuous path for the curtain. The benefit comes from matching the run to the room, rather than assuming one arrangement suits every installation.
Make space above the window
Decide where the curtain should start, finish and stack when open. Allow clearance from window handles, nearby furniture and doors.
Follow the room layout
Measure along the intended curtain route, including each bend. A bay or curved run usually needs more track than the straight distance between its ends.
Choose the curtain arrangement
Choose the curtain fabric, heading and drop alongside the track. The attachment between the curtain and rollers matters as much as the shape of the run.
Order the length you need
The track comes in a 3 m kit or a 5 m kit. We do not cut it to length. For a longer run, combine kits. Contact us if you are not sure how many kits you need.
Plan the installation
Plan safe access and find sound fixing points before you start. The kit includes 16 brackets and 17 anchor and screw sets. Check they suit your ceiling, and use other fixings if it needs them.
Fit and check the run
Mark the run and bracket positions with a ruler. Drill the fixing holes, then use a screwdriver to fit the brackets and track as the step-by-step manual shows. Test that the rollers move freely before you hang the curtains.
Understand the system options
General curtain-track guides discuss single, double, curved and motorised systems. This store sells a manual flexible PVC track in kits. Those other systems are not part of this offer.
Flexible track
The metal strip inside lets you bend the track by hand to follow a bay, curve or L-shape. No minimum bend radius is given, so ask us about tight corners.
DIY layouts and curves
Measure along the intended curtain route, including each bend. A bay or curved run usually needs more track than the straight distance between its ends.
Pre-formed track compared
Pre-formed track is made to a specified shape. This track is not pre-formed. You bend it by hand, so confirm your measurements and the shape you need before you order.
Check a standard bay
Check the depth of the bay and the space for curtains when open. Measure the route at the intended track position, not only along the window frame.
Motorised systems compared
Automated curtains require a compatible track, drive and control arrangement. Motor compatibility is not specified for this manual track.
Planning automated operation
If automation is a priority, identify a complete compatible system before buying components. Ask about availability rather than assuming a motor can be added later.
Choose for the complete installation
Before choosing a track, put the measurements, curtain heading, curtain weight and ceiling material together. These details let you assess the complete installation.
Assess how the room is used
Note whether the curtain is for a window, room divider or another interior arrangement. Frequent use, unusual access or specialist settings may need a different system.
Confirm curtain and ceiling compatibility
Send us your measurements and a description of the mounting surface if you are uncertain. Confirm suitability before ordering; no tested maximum load is specified.
Material and finish
The track is white PVC with a metal strip inside. It comes in white only. Metal tracks and other finishes are not part of this kit.
Match the room
Use the product photographs to assess the pictured finish. Ask us before painting or using a coating, and keep the roller channel clear.
Check the installation requirements
Check access equipment, tools and suitable fixings before installation. Do not assume a fixing supplied with a product is appropriate for every ceiling.
Finish with a movement check
Get qualified help for an uncertain ceiling, concealed services or a complex run. Once installed, check the bracket security and curtain travel, and keep the channel clean.
Before you order
Measure the run and check your curtain and ceiling. Then choose a 3 m or 5 m kit, and combine kits for a longer run. Free delivery across Canada on orders of $75 or more. Under $75, delivery is $25. Contact us if your layout needs another check.
