Bay window curtain track

[trevorbayliss]

Does anyone know a good product to use for bay windows. Mine are rectangular bays, so the angles are 90 degrees.

Can i get track where you pull a curtain all the way round the 90 degree bend and so have two curtains or do i have to have 2 side curtains plus two curtains for the central section ?

This would mean i would just use straight rails and not have to bother about the angles.

If you've got a specialised curtain shop nearby, they can supply metal runners that will be curved in the corner. But there are plastic rails that need heating with a hair dryer to make a round corner on a DIY basis.

Do you ever draw the curtains clear of the side windows?

You can also get elbow joints for ordinary curtain poles, although a full 90 degree bend will always be tricky to pull a curtain round.

Does your bay go all the way to the ceiling? If not, maybe you could have a straight curtain across the entire bay aperture. Just a thought.

I have used this before and formed quite tight bends around an oddly shaped corner bath, including a tight 'S' to go around an awkward edge:

It does make some odd noises when you bend it and it fells like it'll snap, but I had no trouble - but it's really cheap if it does snap!
