Why choose our heavy duty metal curtain track
Ceiling or wall mounted heavy duty curtain track
The Direct Fabrics heavy duty hand drawn curtain track can be top-fixed or face-fixed as standard. Its square-profile aluminium design is built for large or heavy curtains and delivers reliable day-to-day performance in both contract and domestic environments.
Roller runners are supplied at 12 per linear metre. Each runner is rated to 1kg, so a 400cm track typically includes 48 runners. Correct fitting, bracket spacing and suitable fixings are where most real-world performance is won.
This track is a strong choice for schools, theatres, village halls and large domestic windows where smooth hand-drawn operation matters.
Glider options
Choose the right runner for your heading style and the finish you want.
80mm wave glider
For wave heading curtains only. Fixed 80mm spacing for an even, consistent wave.
Roller runners (standard)
Ideal for pencil pleat, pinch pleat and tape headings where smooth travel is the priority.
Suitable applications
- Hotel bedroom curtains
- Theatre surround curtains
- Front of house stage curtains (approx max 10m x 4m at double fullness, contact the team to confirm)
- Village hall curtain tracks
- School hall surround curtains
- Large domestic windows
Benefits
A robust, made-to-measure aluminium track for heavier curtains, supplied as a complete kit. Works for ceiling or wall fixing and can be specified for wave where required. A dependable choice for contract installs that need strength and smooth operation.
Mounting brackets
Wave curtains often need extra clearance from the wall. Larger brackets can be provided to accommodate wave returns and reduce wall contact. If you need an extension wall bracket (100 to 150mm), contact the team.
At-a-glance specification
- Maximum curtain weight: up to 40kg (depends on installation and bracket spacing)
- Runners supplied: 12 per linear metre
- Runner rating: 1kg per runner
- Fixing: ceiling (top fix) or wall (face fix)
- Operation: hand drawn
- Supply: complete kit for one installation
Need help sizing?
If you are unsure on bracket quantity, projection for wave curtains, or you have very heavy curtains or long spans, contact the team and share your track length, fixing surface, and curtain weight estimate.

Jane was super helpful answering all my…Jane was super helpful answering all my questions and helping me get the right curtains for my window. The quality of the curtains is great and Janes advice on how to measure etc means they fit perfectly. They were easy to install as well which was a relief! Only thing I would recommend to anyone else getting the acoustic backed curtains is because they are so thick, I think they would be better with more than the recommended 30cm at the end of the rails for the gather.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
