Silent Gliss Spear & Ball Finials

When selecting a curtain track, it’s important to consider not only the aesthetics but also the space available for both the track and any accompanying accessories, like finials. One of the most common questions we get from customers is about the dimensions of finials—especially the popular ball finial—for the Silent Gliss 30mm Metropole track. In this blog, we'll go over the key measurements of these beautiful finishing pieces and how they can enhance your window design.

 

The Silent Gliss Metropole: An Elegant Curtain Solution

Silent Gliss is renowned for its premium curtain tracks, and their 30mm Metropole is no exception. Designed to deliver both style and functionality, the Metropole track can be wall or ceiling mounted, eliminating the need for brackets, ensuring smooth, easy gliding for your curtains. A significant feature of the Metropole is its wide range of designer finials. These finials are decorative end caps that complete the look of your curtain pole, adding a touch of elegance to any space.

 

 

A Beautiful Range of Finials

Silent Gliss offers a variety of finials to complement the 30mm Metropole track, each with unique shapes, designs, and dimensions to suit different styles and preferences. One of the most popular designs, particularly for its classic and timeless appeal, is the ball finial. These rounded finials are perfect for adding a subtle yet striking finish to your curtains.

 

Ball Finial Dimensions for the 30mm Metropole Track

The ball finials offered by Silent Gliss for the 30mm Metropole come in two distinct models:

  • SG 11744: This ball finial has dimensions of 66mm (X) x 50mm (Y).
  • SG 11746: A slightly larger version with dimensions of 64mm (X) x 60mm (Y).

 

The "X" measurement refers to the distance the finial extends from the end of the pole, and the "Y" measurement refers to the diameter of the finial itself. As such, these finials add a bit of extra length to the track, so it's important to ensure you have enough space at either end of your curtain pole to accommodate them.

Do You Have Enough Space for a Ball Finial?

One concern many customers have is whether there is enough space to fit finials at the ends of their curtain track—especially if the space is tight, such as when installing between two walls or in a corner.

 

For the ball finials:

  • If you're working with the SG 11744 (66mm x 50mm), ensure that you have at least 66mm of space beyond the edge of the track for proper installation.
  • For the slightly larger SG 11746 (64mm x 60mm), you'll need around 64mm of extra space at each end.

 

Keep in mind that these finials can project beyond the track itself, so if your installation space is limited, you might want to opt for a smaller, more compact finial option such as the SG 11603, which only requires 30mm of space.
