The Silent Gliss 7620 bent to perfection around the bay widow - dark curtains hanging either side

A trade customer recently contacted Bradbury Tracks for advice while specifying a track system for a bespoke bedroom installation. Although experienced in curtain fabrication, they were less familiar with the technical choices involved in the Silent Gliss 7620 Metropole, a product where precision truly matters.

Trade Query & Context

While configuring a 257cm ceiling-mounted bronze Metropole with 80mm wave gliders on the Bradbury Tracks site, the customer noticed an unusually low price of £42. Recognising that something wasn’t right, they reached out to clarify the discrepancy.

The issue, an unselected colour, was quickly identified. Once corrected, the discussion turned to more technical questions around brackets, glider choices, and performance upgrades for use in a bedroom setting.

Technical Guidance with Precision

Our expert guided the customer through the key specification points:

  • Accurate Quotation
    Ensuring every product option, including finish, is selected upfront delivers accurate pricing for quoting and margin protection.

  • Fixing Details
    For ceiling-fix installations, the track includes 6152 top-fix brackets (five per 257cm track), along with all required fixings. The system is cut to exact size, streamlining the install and removing room for error.

  • Glider Type

    • Standard 80mm wave gliders provide smooth, reliable performance.

    • Roller wave gliders are ideal for wider spans or heavier interlined curtains, where enhanced glide action is critical.

  • Curtain Setup
    Whether a single panel or pair is being installed, Bradbury Tracks calculates glider quantity automatically which ensures seamless operation.

  • Light Management in Bedrooms
    To reduce central light gaps, the customer was advised to request an adjustable brake, a discreet, effective part that prevents leading gliders from bouncing back after closing. Ruth from our specialist trade team explained...

It just works… it holds the curtain exactly where you need it, so you don’t get that spring-back effect

Outcome for the Trade Customer

With clear advice and specification support, the customer was able to confidently prepare a quote, ensuring all required components were included, right down to the adjustable brake, requested easily via the order notes field on our website.
