Slimline Double Bay Window Curtain Tracks
Two made-to-measure tracks for sheers and main curtains, using our smaller Slimline profile for a neat, discreet finish.
A good choice when you want two curtain layers in your bay but prefer a lower-profile track or have limited space above the windows.
Is the Slimline Double Track right for you?
Choose this system when you want sheers behind your main curtains but would prefer a smaller, less noticeable track than our Regular Double system.
Two independent curtain layers
The rear track carries your sheers while the front track carries your main curtains, allowing each layer to move separately.
Smaller profile
The Slimline track sits closer to the ceiling and is a good choice where appearance or available clearance matters.
Made for your bay
Both tracks are shaped before delivery using your measurements. There is no bending or cutting to do at home.
How the Slimline Double Bay Track works
The system uses two completely separate curtain tracks. The rear track carries the sheer curtains and the front track carries the main curtains.
Leaving suitable space between them allows the front curtains to open and close without dragging or disturbing the sheers behind.
- Rear track for sheers
- Front track for main curtains
- Both tracks shaped to your bay
- Compact Slimline aluminium profile
Watch how the two tracks work together
This video shows the rear sheer track, the front main curtain track and how the two curtain layers move independently.
When the size of the track matters
The main difference between Regular Double and Slimline Double is the track profile rather than the way the curtains operate.
Slimline uses our lower-profile aluminium track, so both rails sit more discreetly against the ceiling.
This can also be useful where there is limited space above inward-opening windows, shutters or other fittings.
If space is not restricted and the track profile is not particularly important, Regular Double remains the straightforward all-round choice.
Choose how your two curtain layers will hang
The rear sheers normally stay within the bay. Your main curtains can either stay within the bay as well or return outside it.
Both pairs within the bay
Both tracks finish inside the bay, with the sheers and main curtains stacking within the window area.
Main curtains return outside
The rear sheer track stays within the bay while the front track continues onto straight returns outside the window.
Not sure?
The order process shows the different layouts so you can choose the arrangement that best suits your window and curtains.
Your sheers usually stay within the bay
Sheer or voile curtains are normally positioned close to the windows on the rear track.
In many homes they remain closed for most of the time, providing privacy while still allowing daylight into the room.
They only need to be drawn back when you want access to the windows for cleaning or maintenance.
Choose how your main curtains meet
The rear sheer track normally uses a centre joining splice to create one continuous track across the bay.
The front track can also use a simple centre join, or you can choose an overlap arm if you would like one main curtain to overlap the other slightly when closed.
The overlap is optional and mainly affects the finished appearance where the main curtains meet.
Ceiling fitted within the bay
The two tracks are normally ceiling fixed through the bay. If the front track continues outside the bay, suitable straight returns can be wall fixed.
Rear track
Ceiling fitted close to the windows for the sheer curtains.
Front track
Ceiling fitted through the bay for the main curtains, with wall-fixed returns available where required.
Compact ceiling drop
The smaller Slimline profile helps keep both tracks close to the ceiling where available space is limited.
Suitable for most conventional curtain headings
The Slimline Double Track is designed for hook-based curtain headings on both the rear and front tracks.
Pencil pleat
A practical option for sheer curtains and conventional main curtains.
Pinch pleat
Works particularly well for the main curtain layer and can also be used on the rear track where suitable.
Want Wave curtains?
If you specifically want Wave heading on the front curtain, choose one of our dedicated Double Wave track options rather than adapting this standard setup.

A few common questions
What is the difference between Regular Double and Slimline Double?
Both use two separate tracks for sheers and main curtains. Slimline Double uses a smaller track profile, making it more discreet and useful where available space is limited.
Why do I need two separate tracks?
One carries your sheers and the other carries your main curtains. Keeping the two layers separate lets the main curtains move without dragging the sheers behind them.
Can the main curtains return outside the bay?
Yes. The rear sheer track can remain within the bay while the front track continues onto suitable straight returns.
Can I have an overlap at the centre?
Yes. An overlap arm can be fitted to the front track if you want one main curtain to overlap the other slightly when closed.
Do I need to bend either track myself?
No. Both tracks are shaped to your bay measurements before delivery.
Is Slimline Double only for lightweight curtains?
No. The aluminium Slimline profile is suitable for the type of domestic curtains normally used in bay windows. The main reason to choose it is its smaller profile rather than a different style of curtain operation.
