Bay Window Curtain Track Fitting Guides
Whether you’ve already ordered one of our made-to-measure bay window curtain tracks, or you’re checking how the fitting process works before buying, these guides will walk you through everything step by step.
The track arrives already made to shape, so you’re fitting it into position rather than trying to bend it yourself on site.
Start With the Guide That Matches Your Track
The easiest way to fit your bay window curtain track is to watch the video that matches the track you’ve ordered.
Each guide shows the fitting process clearly, so you can see what to do before you start drilling. Most customers find the job much more straightforward once they’ve watched the correct video first.

Before You Start Fitting
You don’t need lots of specialist tools to fit one of our bay window curtain tracks. In most cases, a pair of step ladders, a drill, a 6mm masonry drill bit and a screwdriver or power driver are enough.
The supplied screws and plugs cover the vast majority of fitting situations, so the best approach is to follow the fitting video for your track and use the supplied fixings first.
Do You Offer Measuring or Fitting?
We supply curtain tracks across the UK, so we don’t offer an on-site measuring or fitting service.
However, most customers fit the tracks themselves using the fitting videos, or ask a local handyman to help if they’d prefer not to do the drilling themselves.
Worried About Ceiling Fixing?
Ceiling fixing is one of the things customers often worry about most, especially in a bay window where they are not sure what is above the plasterboard.
In reality, it is very unlikely that every fixing point will need special fixings. Usually, the supplied plugs and screws will work well for most brackets.
Occasionally, you may find one bracket position that feels weaker than the others. If that happens, there are simple ways to give that fixing point extra support.
Extra Fitting Support
Some fitting questions only apply in certain situations, so we keep those guides separate. That way, you can get the extra help you need without making the main fitting process feel more complicated than it is.
Using Toggle Bolts for Ceiling Fixing
Useful if one fixing point feels weak and needs a stronger hollow ceiling fixing.

Read the extra bracket guide →Track Adjustments and Technical Help
Some support topics are more about how the track works, how parts connect, or how to make small adjustments after fitting.
We’re keeping those separate from the main fitting guides so this page stays focused. Over time, these will sit in their own curtain track help and adjustment section.
Most customers find them much more manageable once they’ve watched the correct fitting video. The track arrives already made to shape, so you’re fitting it rather than bending it yourself.
Choose the guide that matches the track you’ve ordered — regular, slimline, corded, or the single-handed slimline guide if your track arrives in two halves.
No. In most cases, a pair of step ladders, a drill, a 6mm masonry drill bit and a screwdriver or power driver are enough.
Yes. Many customers ceiling fix their bay window curtain tracks successfully using the supplied screws and plugs shown in the fitting videos.
It’s very unlikely that every fixing point will need extra support. Occasionally, one bracket position may benefit from a stronger fixing such as a toggle bolt.

Not Sure Which Guide You Need?

A quick photo of the bay, ceiling or fixing area is often enough for me to point you in the right direction.
