Hi, I am looking for solutions to hang sheer/net curtains in my bay window. Also, main working curtains on a front track.

The existing tracks are not suitable for my needs. Can you recommend a solution for this window?


Regards

Hi Chris

Firstly, Many thanks for getting in touch and I will probably need to see some more photos of your bay to be absolutely sure. You can attach some photos to the contact form here. Using a smartphone and open up the contact us page. Then click on the upload an image button. This will let you open your camera. Take a photo and it will automatically upload it to the contact form. repeat this for additional photos.

I could do with seeing a close-up of how the existing track is fitting. Also, close-up of the space above the track. Then a photo of the side of the bay. Best to unhook the curtain and move over to take the photo. I just want to see if the trim/coving is on the sides of the bay.

This image below shows our custom made regular double bay window curtain tracks. It shows how neat these tracks can look when made to fit your bay window exactly. Rather than struggling with DIY solutions. Plus they come with our standard 10 year guarantee.

You can see the overlapping tracks on the front main curtain track. This is a great option to choose giving you perfectly overlapping curtains when closed. Your curtains will hang so much better than having them simply butt together.

Okay, back to your bay window and I would strongly recommend fitting your tracks to the ceiling within the bay. This will give you a far cleaner look. You can then still have sheer/net curtains hanging closer to the window but not touching. Fitting the sheer track off the window by about 7cm.

Then hang your main curtains so they hang in front of the window sill. You'll be able this way to hang both sets of curtains with enough space between them. So you will then not drag on the sheer/nets when moving the main curtains. That is a common problem with ready made double track and pole solutions. We always leave a minimum gap between our double tracks of 10cm.

Once I have more photos I will then be able to advise you better. If you could also let me have the width of the 3 sides of your bay. I can then also let you have an idea of what it is likely to cost and supply these white metal double tracks.

You can see discover more about these great double bay window curtain tracks in the video below.



They come made exactly to size and are completely assembled. All you will need to do is to unpack them and hold them up to the ceiling. Then drive the screws in place. Then only drill and plug the brackets that hit something firm enough.

If you're worried about fitting to the ceiling in your bay. Then take a look at this video below. It will help you understand how simple it is to do.




I hope this helps you get started and if you have any further questions. Then please just add them to the contact form with your photos.


All the best
