Installation note (Wave curtains, ceiling fit): If you are ceiling fixing and selecting wave gliders for wave curtains, allow for the wave pleat clearance. For 60mm wave we suggest leaving 8cm from the wall for the pleat, and for 80mm wave allow 10cm.
Overview of the Metropole 30mm system
Metropole 30mm is specified when you want a clean, contemporary pole appearance with the practical operation of a track. It is suited to projects where visual detail matters, but the system still needs to perform reliably in day-to-day use.
The range includes a choice of finishes and decorative components (finials, end caps and bracket covers) to align with the room design and specification.
Where this fits in our range: Choose Metropole 30mm when a decorative pole look is required but you still want track-style practicality. If you need a more discreet solution, a standard metal curtain track may be more appropriate.
Best suited for
- Projects requiring a modern pole aesthetic with practical operation
- Contract interiors such as boutique hospitality spaces and design-led rooms
- Domestic installations where the pole finish is part of the scheme
- Wave headings where a coordinated, decorative system is desired
Expectation setting: This is a pole-style system designed to carry medium weight curtains. If you are specifying for heavier curtain builds, confirm suitability in the specification tab.
Who specifies the Metropole 30mm
Commonly selected for design-led schemes where the curtain hardware is a visible detail. Suitable for both domestic and contract applications, including hospitality interiors where a more decorative finish is required.
Made-to-measure bay work
Metropole can be made to measure for bay windows. For specification-critical bays, measurement guidance and requirements are provided via our team. If you already have confirmed bay angles and details, provide these when ordering.

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
