The Silent Gliss Metropole curtain pole is the answer for all those who want the style and design of a curtain pole, with the practicality of a curtain track. Its design allows curtains to be hung which are heavier or longer than would normally be possible on a standard curtain pole. Any number of brackets can be fitted without obstructing the movement of the gliders and curtain, making it perfect for weak fittings.

Why does choosing curtains have to be about making sacrifices? We all want something with style and elegance: something that will look good and compliment your curtains. At the same time, we also want something that can be closed easily. If your window is long or your curtains heavy, a curtain track is essential as they are able to hold a greater weight than poles and there are no brackets to obstruct the curtain’s movement. This is particularly true if you use your curtains often.
Silent Gliss Metropole curtain poles with gliders are the ideal solution. They work smoothly and easily like a curtain track, but have all the design potential of a curtain pole. The Metropole curtain pole has a channel cut into the bottom along which the gliders can move freely, easily and without obstruction. This operating system produces less friction and stress on the pole than a ringed curtain would. The additional load bearing strength means heavier curtains can also be fitted than would be possible if you had chosen a traditional curtain pole. You can also hang multiple curtains on one pole.
Metropole curtain poles come in a variety of colours and styles. Some, such as the Metro Flat, are much closer to curtain tracks in design, but with a variety of colours, and a bold yet simple style one wouldn’t normally associate with them. The minimal face depth (36mm) also makes for a closer fit to the window.
Like other forms of metal curtain pole, the Silent Gliss Metropole curtain poles can be bent to fit bay windows. The bending process is conducted by trained technicians working to exact specifications in order to achieve the best fit.
Although the pole is fitted with brackets, they are arranged in such a way as not to obstruct the channel, so even long curtains can be opened and closed fully. Some walls are traditionally considered difficult to attach curtain poles or tracks to because the fittings are too weak. These can include crumbly breeze block walls, crumbly plaster on brick or plasterboard on a wooden frame. In such cases, the weight of a curtain pole or track combined with the weight of the curtains might be above what the wall can stand. Attempting to fit curtains to such a wall could result in part of the wall or plastering being pulled out. Due to the fact that the brackets do not obstruct the gliders, any number of brackets can be fitted to the Silent Gliss Metropole curtain pole, distributing the weight of the curtains through multiple points. This makes the pole ideal for weak fittings.
The right-angled bracket of some of the Metropole curtain pole designs can be fitted flush to the ceiling. This makes them ideal for older houses, which may have low ceilings, or rooms and offices with full length windows, where there is little room between the lintel and the roof.
Silent Gliss Metropole curtain poles combine style with efficiency. They are suited to a range of different settings, making them a practical solution as well as a great aesthetic choice.
