Expectation setting: This is a wave track designed to work with wave gliders and wave curtains. Wave headings require the curtain to sit away from the wall; bracket projection and clearances should be planned at survey stage. Certificates and care/maintenance information (where applicable) are available in the specification tab.

Why choose our heavy duty wave curtain track

This made-to-measure hand-drawn wave curtain track is designed for installations where a clean, square-profile aluminium track and consistent wave presentation are required. It can be installed as a ceiling fix (top fix) or wall fix (face fix) depending on site conditions and required curtain position.

The track is intended for larger or heavier curtains. The runners are specified at 1kg per glider, and the system is described as suitable for up to 40kg total curtain weight (subject to correct fixing and substrate).

Supplied as a complete kit for one installation, this is a practical contract option for projects where survey accuracy, bracket positioning and glider spacing are key to the finished wave effect.

Brackets for wave curtains

Wave curtains need to sit away from the wall. Larger brackets are provided to accommodate this. For further help or information, contact the team regarding the extension wall fix bracket (100–150mm).

Useful notes on wave tracks

Wave effect is achieved by a set number of gliders on the track. If you have not already purchased curtains, consider waiting until the track is in position so you can confirm the required glider count on the curtains.

Glider count guidance

When calculating the number of gliders, round up to the nearest larger size. If using pairs of curtains, halve the track length, then round up to the closest size. Example: track size 500cm → 500cm / 2 = 250cm; gliders will be for 264cm, thus 34 gliders per side.

Remember: With pairs of curtains, split the track length in two to determine the glider quantity per curtain.

The track was robust the size was spot on and the glider ratio was perfect. Hopefully more business in the pipeline and this is my go to company for rails.. Thank you for making a nice job stunning.

We recommend fitting your hardware first before measuring, this avoids any issues with not getting the perfect fit.

how to measure for curtains



Choosing your Curtain Track Width

The width of the curtain track should extend past your window this allows for the curtains to stack back away from your window and allow light in.

Measure your recess and then add on 15cm on either side. For acoustics , we recommend further to fully cover the window and the surrounding area. In our test we added an additional 30cm to the width and also made the curtain floor length.

Wave curtains, for every 100cm of track the curtains will stack circa *18cm

Eyelet curtains, they will stack back circa 10cm per *70cm of track width

Pencil Pleat will stack approx 25% of the track width. eg. 210cm track will stack 52.5%

* all dependent on thickness of fabric



Selecting your Curtain Drop

How to Measure for Blinds going Inside the Recess

How to measure for blinds inside thet recess

  • Measure the exact width of the recess in three places; at the top of the recess, in the centre of the recess and near the bottom - then take the  smallest size.
  • Measure the exact drop of the recess in three places on the left hand side of the recess, in the centre of the recess and on the right hand side of the recess - then take the smallest size.
  • We will take one cm off the finished width size you have given us, to allow for the blind to pull up and down easily.
  • Double check your measurements
  • Cord Safety - Mounting Height - We ask for the mounting height of your blinds to allow for the cord to be 150cm off the ground. If mounting at 210cm This is what you enter in the Fitting height box. We make a deduction to ensure the cord is 150cm from the floor. Thus the cord loop will be 60cm

How to Measure Outside of the Recess


  • Measure the recess in 3 places on the width and also 3 places on the drop. Take the widest measurement.
  • Measure the width of the actual recess plus an additional amount – Usually from 7cm-15cm whatever you think looks appropriate. This is for overlap.
  • Measure the exact drop of the recess. The blind would be fitted above the recess, so check the space above and add an amount on to the drop – usually from 7-15cm
  • These sizes you have taken will be the size of the finished blind.

  • Double check your measurements
  • Cord Safety - Mounting Height - We ask for the mounting height of your blinds to allow for the cord to be 150cm off the ground. If mounting at 210cm This is what you enter in the fitting height box. We make a deduction to ensure the cord is 150cm from the floor. Thus the cord loop will be 60cm



Cubicle Tracks you have to measure with right angles from wall to wall where you want the track to go

Draw your room on a piece of paper with a sky view

Now measure from the wall to wall for straight tracks,

L Shape Tracks Measure to a point on the floor and mark with a piece of tape. Then for the other sides measure from the other wall to that point.

Always check for obstructions and fitting issues you may need to work around
