Curved Bay Curtain Track – Ceiling Fixed Inside the Bay (Floor Length Curtains)

Curved Bay Curtain Track – Ceiling Fixed Inside the Bay (Floor Length Curtains)

If you’ve got a curved bay window and want floor-length curtains that hang neatly inside the bay, a ceiling-fixed track is the way to go. Depending on your bay shape and sill depth, there are two ways we make this work — both ensuring your curtains clear the sill, hang smoothly, and block side gaps.

Option 1 – Wide Window Sills with Screw Eyes

Some bays have deep window sills, leaving little or no room to return the track neatly onto the side walls.

In these cases, we supply discreet screw eyes to support the last few curtain hooks.

This lets the curtains wrap around the end of the sill and onto the wall, closing gaps that would otherwise let in light.

A neat fix when there isn’t enough wall space for proper track returns.

H2: Option 2 – Shallow or No Window Sills

If your bay has a slim or no sill, the track can be ceiling fixed a few centimetres out from the window.

This creates just enough clearance for the fabric to fall freely to the floor without catching on the sill.

The curtains still hang inside the bay, but with more clearance for a smooth, vertical drop.

Works especially well for tall, full-length curtains where clean lines matter.

Why Ceiling Fixing Works Best for Floor Length Curtains

  • Keeps the track flush to the ceiling for a professional finish.
  • Lets the fabric drop vertically without distortion.
  • Strong enough to hold even heavy, lined curtains securely.
  • Flexible enough to handle both scenarios above with the right fixings.

How We Make It Work

  3. Your track is bent to match perfectly using gentle rolling curves.
  4. It arrives ready to fit, with all brackets and fixings included.

The process is easier than most people expect, and the result is a track that looks like it was designed into your bay from the start.

Customer Question

“I love my new curved bay, but I’m worried about how the curtains will fit. Can the ceiling really hold them? And how do you shape the track at the ends?”

— Gill, Yorkshire

Lee’s Advice

Ceiling fixing is the best option for this type of bay. After nearly 30 years of fitting tracks, I can reassure you that the ceiling will be more than strong enough. We also recommend a gentle curve within the bay for a neater finish, with sharper bends only on the returns at each end.

This “Top View” of the bay shows how the custom made curtain track allows for the short curtains to hang down to the top of the sill. While also (returning) curving out of the bay on the side walls. So the curtains when open can hang clear of all the windows giving maximum light into the room.
