Whatwouldyoudo2021 · 06/03/2021 09:13

Hi all,

I have recently moved into a beautiful new build, it has fabulous bifold doors in the living room area. We had made to measure curtains from dunelm made before we moved in, however we are really struggling to find a curtain track to fit the requirements, can anyone help?

We would like it to be hung from the ceiling
We have ripple curtains
It needs to be 475cm long
We have one singular curtain rather than a pair

Does anyone know if this exists? Dunelm don’t have anything to work

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

I recently got pvc curtain tracks from eBay. They sit flush on the ceiling and they're invisible once the curtains are up. They come in 1.2m lengths so you get as many as you need and trim the excess with a saw.

Amazing thanks both!

Are these ok for ripple pleat curtains? Would I need to get some plastic or metal curtain hooks?

Sorry for the questions it’s our first home and I have no idea about curtains

You will need to look at the curtain tape to see how they attach to the rail. I would think you will need metal hooks as they will be very heavy

Try a blacksmith. I had one made 4.20m for a house years ago. They made it with a heavy metal pole that jointed in the middle and 3 brackets.
