Silent Gliss 3840 Corded Curtain Track in Antique Bronze

Standard Gliders		All Silent Gliss products are (except SG 1080)  are supplied with '2C' (two component) gliders that offer an exceptionally smooth and quiet operation.
Roller Gliders		Roller gliders have small wheels which run along the track. They are recommended for heavy curtains (black roller glider pictured, but white is standard).
Wave Gliders		Either 2C or roller gliders fixed on a cord that restricts the extension of the fabric. This creates a smooth, continuous 'wave' effect when the curtains are closed. When opened, they stack back neatly and straight. Only required if you are opting for 'wave' effect curtains.

Choosing the Right Wave Size: 60mm vs. 80mm

The decision between 60mm and 80mm spacing is important as it impacts both the look and functionality of your curtains. Here’s what you shouldconsider:

60mm Wave Spacing

The 60mm wave spacing creates a shallower wave pattern, resulting in smaller, more subtle folds. This option is ideal if:

• Space is limited: The shallower waves mean that the curtains take up less depth when stacked back, making this a great choice for smaller rooms or tighter spaces.
• You prefer a more understated look: The 60mm waves offer a minimalist and subtle appearance, perfect for a modern, clean-lined aesthetic.
• You have narrower windows: For smaller windows, the 60mm spacing creates a proportional look, ensuring the waves don’t overpower the space.

80mm Wave Spacing

The 80mm wave spacing creates deeper, more pronounced waves, resulting in larger, more dramatic folds. Consider this option if:

• You want a more luxurious feel: The deeper waves provide a more opulent and visually striking effect, adding elegance to your space.
• You have larger windows: For wide or tall windows, the 80mm waves can balance the scale of the window, creating a bold and cohesive look.
• You prefer a more pronounced wave effect: The 80mm spacing enhances the wave pattern, making it a standout feature in the room. This is ideal if you want the curtains to be a focal point in your interior design.

Practical Considerations

• Fabric Requirements: 80mm waves typically require more fabric due to the deeper folds, which means you’ll need to factor this into your fabric calculations.
• Stackback: Curtains with 80mm wave spacing will have a larger stackback (the space taken up by the curtains when fully open) compared to 60mm waves. Make sure you have enough wall space on either side of the window to accommodate the stackback without obstructing the view.
