living room with silent gliss corded track

Choosing the perfect curtain track for your home involves considering various factors, and two popular options that combine style and functionality are the Silent Gliss 6840 and 3840 tracks. These tracks boast a sleek round profile and are compatible with various curtain heading styles, excluding eyelet curtains.

 

In this blog post, we'll delve into the distinctions between these tracks and explore their unique attributes, helping you make an informed choice for your window treatments.

 

Silent Gliss 6840 Manual/ Hand Operated Tracks

The Silent Gliss 6840 track offers manual operation, allowing you to open and close your curtains by hand. While it provides a conventional and easy-to-use experience, many homeowners opt to enhance its usability by incorporating a draw rod for smoother curtain movement. This track comes with a range of glider options, including standard, roller, and wave gliders, empowering you to select the most suitable glider for your curtain fabric and design.

Key Features:

  • Operation: Manual
  • Fitting: Ceiling, Wall
  • Colors: White, Matt White, Silver, Anodic Grey, Antique Bronze, Charcoal, Black
  • Compatible with wave curtains: Yes
  • Gliders: 2C glider , Wave glider
  • Suitable for bay Windows:Yes

The versatility of the 6840 track extends to its installation, allowing it to be fixed to either the wall or ceiling. For a seamless and flush ceiling installation, clamp-style brackets are employed, ensuring a polished and refined appearance. Furthermore, the track is available in an eye-catching black profile, complete with matching gliders and components, making it an excellent choice for modern and trendsetting interior designs.

 

Silent Gliss 3840 Corded Track

In contrast to the 6840 track, the Silent Gliss 3840 track features corded operation. This enables effortless opening and closing of curtains through a side cord. Corded operation proves particularly advantageous when curtains draw behind furniture or when one side of the curtain is hard to reach. It's also beneficial for tall windows or doors, as the cord facilitates easy manipulation of the curtains without touching the fabric.

Key Features:

  • Operation: Corded
  • Fitting: Ceiling, Wall
  • Colors: White, Matt White, Silver, Anodic Grey, Antique Bronze, Charcoal, Black
  • Compatible with wave curtains: Yes
  • Gliders: 2-component (2C) glider technology, Wave (2C)
  • Suitable for bay Windows: Yes

 

For larger tracks, Silent Gliss suggests corded operation on both sides for smooth and balanced movement. However, for a single curtain setup, the cord can be positioned on one side only. Similar to the 6840 track, the 3840 track is available in black, making it a striking complement to contemporary interior design trends, especially when juxtaposed against white backgrounds and natural materials.

 

Perfect for Wave Curtains

Both the Silent Gliss 6840 and 3840 tracks are popular choices for creating elegant wave curtains. The clamp-style ceiling fix bracket ensures a seamless ceiling installation, imparting a sophisticated hotel-like appearance when curtains are suspended from floor to ceiling. The wave curtain style is renowned for its refined aesthetic, adding a touch of opulence to any space.

 

Selecting between the Silent Gliss 6840 and 3840 curtain tracks hinges on your personal preferences and the specific requirements of your window treatments. If you prefer a classic and manual operation, the 6840 track with the option of a draw rod might be ideal. Conversely, the 3840 track's corded operation offers convenience, especially in certain room setups.

 

When making your decision, consider both the aesthetics and functionality you desire for your curtains. Explore the wide array of glider options available for each track. Whether you opt for the timeless charm of a hand-drawn track or the convenience of a corded one, Silent Gliss ensures solutions that are high-performing, functional, and stylish for your window dressing needs.
