G Rail 4800 Heavy Duty Hand Drawn Curtain Track
The G Rail 4800 is a flexible aluminium curtain track for hand-drawn installations, suitable for light to heavyweight curtains. It supports either gliders or roller runners (optional), and can be top fixed or face fixed depending on bracket choice.

Heavy Duty
Up to 80kg

Aluminium Profile
Supplied with standard gliders
Hand Drawn
Pull across by hand
Complete Kit
Everything for one installation
Expectation setting: This is a hand-drawn track (not corded and not baton operated in the supplied information). Track bending is available using the stated tooling and radii. For suspended ceilings, the benefit is wider bracket spacing where bridging is required.
Overview of the G Rail 4800 track system
The 4800 is a flexible aluminium track suitable for light to heavyweight curtains, with the optional use of gliders or rollers. Standard components included are the 4010 gliders and 5350 or 5351 brackets depending on whether top fixed or face fixed.
The strength of the system allows a greater distance between fixing bracket centres. This is beneficial where special clips are used to fix to a suspended ceiling grid and standard width ceiling tiles have to be bridged.
The track can be used with suspended ceilings (see product images for an example of the installation context).
Where this fits in our range
Choose the G Rail 4800 when you need a heavy duty hand-drawn track and the flexibility to specify gliders or roller runners. It is particularly relevant where bracket spacing and suspended ceiling fixing considerations are part of the install.
Best suited for
- Light to heavyweight curtain installations where a hand-drawn operation is preferred.
- Projects that need either standard gliders for quieter operation or roller runners (optional).
- Installations involving suspended ceilings where increased bracket spacing is beneficial.
Benefits of the G Rail 4800
- Suitable for a wide range of curtain weights.
- Aluminium track; can be forward or reverse bent in different radii.
- Wall or ceiling mounting (bracket dependent).
- Available as standard in white or anodised aluminium.
- Plastic gliders for quieter operation (glider option).
- Complete kits with everything to install to one window.
Who uses the G Rail 4800
Used in domestic and contract environments, including hotel bedrooms, care homes and schools, as well as surround curtain installations (mid weight) and decorative exhibition curtain tracks.
Contract applications
A practical option where a heavier duty hand-drawn track is required and a robust aluminium profile is preferred.
Suspended ceiling installs
Selected where increased bracket spacing helps when bridging standard ceiling tiles using special clips on a ceiling grid.

aluminium curtain trackI purchased an aluminium curtain track and fittings. Product was quality, as anticipated. I had a couple of queries prior to purchase, which their technical specialist dealt with quickly and competently. Telephone and e-mail communications with the company were first class. Only disappointment was the week delay in delivery, otherwise I would have awarded 5 stars. Curtain rail now installed and working well with heavy curtains.0 people found this helpful
How to Measure For Curtains, Blinds and Tracks.
Pen and Paper
For recording your
measurements.
Helper
Someone to assist if your
windows are large .
Metal Tape Measure
As this will allow you to get a
rigid full length measurement.
Make sure your curtain tracks and poles are fitted in the position you want.
Choose the type of curtains that you would like and how you want to hang your curtains. See our heading styles guide
We recommend fitting your hardware first before measuring, this avoids any issues with not getting the perfect fit.
Measure your window using our main guide. Quick summary below. Remember wave, pinch, and designer headings require slightly different measurement
Measure in 3 places and take the shortest drop – Floors and ceilings can run out.
Double / Triple check your measurements
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

How to Measure for Blinds going Inside the 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
