Before purchasing a bay window curtain pole, it’s essential to take a few moments to understand the options available, as they vary significantly in quality, ease of use, appearance, and price. Click the 'read more' button below to expand this section and get our expert advice on choosing the best curtain pole for your bay window.
Tracked Poles for Bay Windows (Without Rings)
Tracked poles are our top recommendation for customers seeking bay window curtain poles. Standard curtain poles often struggle in bay window installations—either they lack sufficient brackets and become flimsy, or, when additional brackets are used, special rings are required, which can be awkward to manoeuvre around them.
A track concealed within the curtain pole resolves these issues, enabling the use of multiple brackets to support the pole without obstructing the curtain rings.
The Silent Gliss Metropole - the best option for bay windows
The standout tracked curtain pole (and our most popular option for bay windows) is the Silent Gliss Metropole. This high-quality, made-to-measure track, encased in an aluminium pole, offers the perfect balance of functionality, appearance, and price.
Silent Gliss is renowned for producing premium curtain tracks commonly used in commercial and hospitality environments. They developed the Metropole in response to a gap in the market, catering to customers who desire the aesthetic appeal of a pole but the practical benefits of a track.
