Curtain tracks

Silent Gliss traces its story to the first silent curtain track, made by combining nylon gliders with aluminium tracks. It went on to design tracks that could be bent and was the first to operate curtains electrically by push-button control. Today its tracks cover light to heavy curtains and short to long runs, straight or bent, in hand, cord and electric versions.

Metropole curtain poles

Metropole has an internal gliding channel, so curtains hang directly from Silent Gliss's quiet two-component gliders without curtain rings while keeping the look of a pole. It is made to measure, curved on request and comes in four sizes in round and rectangular designs, with a range of colours and decorative finials. It is available hand, cord or electric, including a motorised version.

Motorisation and fabrics

Motorisation: Silent Gliss has more than 60 years of experience in motorised systems and was the first to connect a curtain motor directly to the track. Its motorised systems can be integrated into a control system or run from an app, a switch or a remote control.
Fabrics: The Collection by Silent Gliss covers transparent, semi-transparent, dimout and blackout fabrics, screens and pleated blind fabrics, with wave and Swiss pleat curtain headings.
Services: bending, sampling, custom colouring, laser cutting and digital printing.
