About this product
One track that divides a room, screens a shower or dresses a bay.
Flexible PVC ceiling track that bends and twists to fit almost any layout, cut to the metre and fitted with ordinary tools.
The same flexible PVC track does several different jobs, which is why most people who buy it once come back for another length.
As a room divider it lets you split a bedroom, screen off a home office corner or curtain a bed space, hung from the ceiling with no floor fixings and no frame.
In a bathroom or wet room it works as a shower curtain track, following a curved or L-shaped shower space, and the PVC does not rust the way a metal rail eventually will.
Across a bay window it bends to the shape of the bay so one curtain covers the whole opening, instead of three separate poles with gaps and joins.
It also suits caravans, campervans and photographic backdrops, anywhere you need a curtain to follow a shape and weight has to stay low.
Most curtain track is sold for one job: covering a window. This one gets bought for windows about as often as it gets bought for everything else, and the reason is that it bends, it is light, and it fixes overhead where there is nothing else in the way.
Room dividing is the clearest example. To split a room with a wall you need a builder. To split it with a freestanding screen you need floor space and something to hold it upright. To split it with a ceiling track you need a drill, a length of track and a curtain, and you can put the room back exactly as it was by taking four screws out.
In a shower space the flexibility does the work. Shower enclosures are rarely a straight line: they turn a corner, curve around a quadrant tray, or run along two walls. A rigid rail needs joins at each of those points. A flexible track follows the shape in one run, and because it is PVC, the damp does not corrode it.
Across a bay it does what the rigid alternatives cannot, which is cover the whole opening with one continuous curtain that pulls smoothly from one end to the other.
Caravans and campervans are the same problem in miniature: curved walls, no space to spare, and every gram counts. A light PVC track that bends to the van's shape solves it without adding weight.
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.

The complete guide
What a flexible ceiling track is good for
5 min readCurtain Track Company
One track, several jobs
A flexible ceiling curtain track is a versatile way to hang a curtain, and unlike a rigid pole it adapts to various room shapes and sizes. That flexibility is why the same product turns up in a bay window in one house and across the middle of a bedroom in the next.
Here is what people actually use it for.
Room dividers
Splitting a room permanently means building a wall. Splitting it with a freestanding screen means giving up floor space and finding something to keep the screen upright.
A ceiling track does neither. It hangs the curtain from above, so the floor stays clear, and it comes back out with a screwdriver if you change your mind. Common uses are separating two children in one bedroom, screening a home working corner from the rest of a living room, curtaining off a bed space in a studio, and creating a changing area.
Because the track bends, the divider does not have to run in a straight line. It can turn a corner to box off a section of a room.
Shower and bathroom curtains
Shower spaces are almost never straight. They turn a corner, or curve around a quadrant tray, or run along two walls to meet in the middle.
A rigid rail handles that with joins. A flexible track handles it by following the shape in one run, which means no join for the curtain to snag on.
The material matters here. This track is PVC, so damp air does not corrode it. A metal rail in a wet room eventually shows it.
Bay and bow windows
This is the classic case. One continuous curved run across the whole bay, one curtain, one smooth pull, no gaps at the angles where light and draughts get through.
Measure around the curve rather than across it, and order that many metres.
Caravans, campervans and backdrops
Vans have curved walls, no spare space, and a weight budget. A light PVC track that bends to the shape of the van solves the curtain problem without adding meaningful weight or needing a flat run to fix to.
Photographers and event people use the same track for hanging backdrops, for the same reasons: it goes up fast, it follows a shape, and it comes down again.
Being straight about heavy curtains
The product name includes "heavy duty" because that is the search term people use, so it is worth saying plainly what this track is.
It is flexible PVC. It handles ordinary curtains, voiles, shower curtains and room-divider panels perfectly well, and it will not rust.
It is not a steel track, and we would rather tell you that than have you find out. If you are hanging very heavy blackout drapes over a long span, put the ceiling fixings closer together so the weight spreads along the run. If you are not sure whether your curtains are too heavy for it, ask us before you order.
