Straight Curtain Track Fitting Guides
Whether you’ve already ordered one of our straight curtain tracks, or you’re checking how the fitting process works before buying, these guides will help you choose the right video.
Pick the guide that matches your track type and whether you’re fitting it to the wall or ceiling.
Start With the Guide That Matches Your Track
Straight curtain tracks are usually very manageable to fit if you follow the correct guide for your track and fixing method.
The main thing is to choose the right video before you start — wall-fix and ceiling-fix tracks are fitted slightly differently, and regular, slimline and corded tracks each have their own fitting details.

Wall Fix or Ceiling Fix?
Both wall fixing and ceiling fixing can work well. The best option usually depends on where you want the curtains to hang, how much space you have above the window, and what gives the neatest finished look.
If you already know how your track is being fitted, simply choose the matching guide above. If you’re not sure, send me a photo of your window area and I’ll point you in the right direction.
Do You Offer Measuring or Fitting?
We don’t offer an on-site measuring or fitting service, as we supply curtain tracks across the UK.
Instead, we provide clear fitting videos and practical support so you or a local handyman can fit the track with confidence.
Choose the guide that matches both your track type and how it’s being fixed — regular, slimline or corded, and wall fix or ceiling fix.

Both can work well. Wall fixing is common above standard windows, while ceiling fixing can give a cleaner look or help when there is limited wall space.
Plasterboard is very common. The right fixing depends on the surface and the track position, so follow the relevant fitting guide and ask for advice if you’re unsure.
No, we don’t offer fitting as we supply tracks nationwide. Most customers fit the tracks themselves or ask a local handyman to follow the fitting video.
