Curtain tracks

Manual

With a cord-operated curtain track, the fabric is attached to carriers that slide inside the profile. Pulling the cord moves the main carrier and, consequently, the entire curtain.

Motorized

The movement is carried out by an electric motor integrated into the curtain track system.

The curtain can be operated using a remote control, wall switch, home automation system, or app, depending on the selected motor.

Suitable support: standard or motorized track (for heights of 4 m and above, motorized track only). Can be installed within a recess or outside the recess. For outside-recess installations, a mounting board is required for either ceiling or wall fixing.

Case study: sheer curtains on large-scale windows

A client selected the Sarelli Halo sheer curtain for a large-scale window measuring 9 metres in height.

As Sarelli sheer fabrics have a standard width of 3 metres, this project requires a specific curtain-making solution to cover the full height of the window while preserving the elegance and decorative character of the Halo fabric.

For this reason, three different solutions can be considered.

  1. A. Repeated wave border

    The lower scalloped border can be used as a decorative joint at 3 and 6 metres, creating three equal sections.

  2. B. French seam

    The fabric can be joined horizontally using a fine, discreet seam while maintaining the original vertical orientation of the decorative pattern. This solution preserves the original direction of the design. However, because the seam runs horizontally across a lightweight sheer fabric, it may remain partially visible.

  3. C. Rotated fabric

    This solution requires the fabric to be rotated by 90° in order to cover the full 9-metre height. As a result, the decorative motif will run horizontally. The necessary vertical seams can be positioned between the waves (folds), allowing them to remain discreet and virtually invisible.
