Silent Gliss Q&A - what is the difference between the Silent Gliss 6870 and 3870 tracks?

The Silent Gliss 6870 and 3870 tracks are very popular tracks that both feature a square profile, are available with standard, roller and wave gliders and are suitable for all curtain heading types except eyelet curtains. They can both be wall or ceiling fixed and use the clamp style brackets for a flush ceiling fit.
The functionality difference between the 2 tracks is that the 6870 track is a hand drawn track whereas the 3870 is a corded track. This means the curtains can be opened and closed with a side cord.
A corded track can offer practical advantages if your curtains draw behind a sofa or furniture for example, or one side of the curtain is hard to reach. A cord can also be useful for curtains tracks over tall windows or doors. A corded track also enables you to open and close your curtains without touching the fabric which can help to prolong the life of your curtains particularly for delicate or light coloured fabrics.
If you prefer a hand drawn track a popular addition is to add a draw rod to your track order to aid opening and closing your curtains.

Recess Ceiling Fitting
Ceiling recess fitting a curtain track delivers a sophisticated, hotel chic at home look! Floor to ceiling length curtains can make a room feel bigger by drawing the eye up and down rather than side to side. This can be particularly effective in rooms with low ceiling or small windows.
Ceiling recess fitting is also a popular choice for curtains drawing over large expanses of glazing such as bi-fold or sliding doors.
Both the Silent Gliss 6870 and 3870 tracks are available for ceiling recess fitting. The recess profiles are available in white or black.
