Recessed Curtain Track Set in White Aluminum for a Flush Ceiling Mount and Concealed Drapery Hardware

This recessed curtain track set conceals the hardware within the ceiling, keeping attention on your curtains and the room around them. Its white powder-coated aluminum profile sits flush with the ceiling for a clean finish in contemporary living rooms, offices and minimalist bedrooms.

The Forest track system supports light to medium-weight curtains and allows each drapery section to open or close independently by hand. Plan the ceiling recess and wood blocking during new construction or renovation, when access above the drywall is easier.

Features

• Bottom flanges create a clean drywall installation without joint compound.

• One punched track end provides access for adding or removing slides.
• The opposite end can be cut with a hacksaw to suit the installation.
• The set includes track, a special end piece, screws and slides; splices are included where applicable, except with Wavefold carriers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this recessed curtain track be installed in an existing ceiling?

Yes, but this recessed curtain track requires ceiling wood blocking, so retrofitting can involve removing substantial sections of drywall. Planning it during construction or renovation makes ceiling access easier.

How much curtain weight can the track support?

The recessed curtain track is rated for 3 pounds per foot. For example, a 10-foot track supports a maximum of 30 pounds; the system is intended for light to medium-weight curtains.

What ceiling channel does the track need?

The recessed curtain track is designed for a 5/8-inch-wide channel in 1/2-inch drywall. When installing in 5/8-inch drywall, avoid overtightening the screws.

How are track sections joined when using Wavefold carriers?

Wavefold installations must have track sections carefully butted together without internal splices, because the splices block these carriers. Test the transition between sections for smooth carrier movement during installation.

Can I shorten the recessed curtain track?

Yes, the end opposite the punched slide-access end can be cut with a hacksaw. Keep the access end intact so slides can be added or removed.
