About this product
Hang curtains from the ceiling and get your walls and windows back.
Flexible PVC ceiling curtain track, cut to the metre, that bends around bays and corners and screws straight into the ceiling.
Mounting your track on the ceiling instead of the wall frees up the wall above the window, so curtains hang floor to ceiling and the room reads taller.
The track is flexible PVC, so it follows a bay, turns a corner or curves around an arch in one continuous run rather than needing separate poles joined at angles.
You order it by the metre and we cut it to that length. There is no minimum, so you buy the run you actually need instead of a fixed-size kit.
Every metre comes with the brackets, rollers, end caps, hooks, screws and anchors to fit it. No specialist brackets to source, no track-bending machine, no trade fitter.
Because it is PVC rather than metal, it will not rust, which makes it usable in a bathroom or a shower space as well as a living room.
Most curtain poles ask you to solve a problem you did not create. The window is in a bay, or the wall above it is too shallow, or there is a corner in the way, and a straight rigid pole simply cannot follow the shape. The usual answer is two or three poles joined with brackets, and a curtain that snags every time you pull it.
A ceiling track solves it from a different direction. It fixes to the ceiling rather than the wall, so the shape of the wall stops mattering. And because this track is flexible PVC rather than rigid metal, one continuous length can follow the bay, turn the corner and carry on, with the runners gliding through the curve instead of stopping at a join.
Mounting overhead also changes how the room feels. Curtains that start at the ceiling rather than halfway up the wall draw the eye upward and hang in a single unbroken drop. In a room with low ceilings or small windows, that is the cheapest change you can make that actually reads as more space.
It is sold by the metre and cut to your length, which matters more than it sounds. Fixed-size kits force you to either overbuy or join two together. Measure the run you need, order that number of metres, and you get one piece.
Fitting is a DIY job. You mark your line, screw the track to the ceiling at regular intervals, and feed the runners on. No specialist tools, no bending machine, and nothing that needs a tradesperson. If you are working overhead, a cordless screwdriver makes it considerably less tiring than a hand tool.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
This track is cut to the length you order, so it counts as made to your specification. That means the 14-day change-of-mind cancellation right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply to it. Your rights if something is wrong with it are untouched, and we would rather answer a question now than have you order the wrong length.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order, including how to measure.

The complete guide
Choosing a ceiling curtain track
5 min readCurtain Track Company
Enhance your home with a ceiling curtain track
A ceiling curtain track is a simple way to hang curtains when the wall will not cooperate. Rather than fixing a pole above the window, you fix the track to the ceiling, which gives you a clean line and a curtain that drops the full height of the room. It suits modern rooms, awkward bays, and any space where the wall above the window is too shallow for brackets.
Why choose a ceiling curtain track
It makes a room feel taller
Mounting on the ceiling draws the eye upward. The curtain starts at the ceiling and falls in one continuous drop, which reads as a taller window and a taller room. In a small room, or one with low ceilings, that effect is worth more than it costs.
It goes where a pole cannot
Bays, corners, curved walls and alcoves defeat a rigid pole. A flexible track follows them. You get one continuous run and one smooth pull instead of two poles, a join, and a curtain that catches every time.
It installs with ordinary tools
You mark a line, drill, screw the track up at regular spacings, and thread the runners on. That is the whole job. There is nothing here that needs a trade fitter or a specialist bending tool, and a cordless screwdriver makes the overhead work much easier on your arms.
What this track is made of
This track is flexible PVC. That is a deliberate choice rather than a compromise, and it is worth being straight about what it means.
PVC bends. You can shape it around a bay or an arch by hand, on site, without heat or a bending machine, and it holds that shape once it is screwed up. A metal track cannot do that unless it is pre-bent to your measurements at a factory, which costs more and takes longer.
PVC does not rust. That is why it works in a bathroom, a shower space or a caravan, where a steel track would eventually corrode.
PVC is not steel, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. It handles ordinary curtains, voiles and room-divider panels without trouble. If you are hanging very heavy blackout drapes over a long span, put your ceiling fixings closer together so the weight is spread along the run rather than hanging off a few points.
Where people use it
Bay windows are the most common reason people come looking, closely followed by room dividers. The same track works for a shower curtain, for splitting a bedroom into two spaces, for a caravan or campervan, for hospital-style privacy screening, and for hanging a photographic backdrop.
How to measure and order
Measure the full run the curtain needs to travel, following the shape of the bay or corner rather than the straight-line distance across it. Add a little at each end if you want the curtain to stack clear of the glass when it is open. Order that number of metres. We cut it to your length, so there is no offcut to pay for and no minimum to meet.
If you are not sure how to measure an unusual shape, ask us before you order. It is a short conversation and it is a lot easier than sending back a length that is wrong.
