Wednesday, 25 March 2026

Finding the Perfect Curtain Track

Selecting the right curtain track is crucial to the overall functionality and aesthetics of any project, whether residential or commercial. At Evans, we offer a wide range of Evaglide curtain tracks designed to meet every specification, from traditional manual systems to advanced motorised tracks. Understanding the differences can help you choose the best solution for your clients.


Manual Curtain Tracks: Reliable and Cost-Effective

Manual curtain tracks are still a popular choice for many projects, offering simplicity, affordability and durability. They are easy to install and maintain, making them ideal for smaller windows, standard interiors or clients looking for a straightforward solution.

Key benefits of manual tracks include:

    Affordable and low-maintenance

    Smooth operation with durable gliders

    Wide range of styles and finishes to match any décor

    Reliable performance for everyday use

Our Evaglide manual tracks are engineered for consistent smooth operation, allowing curtains to glide effortlessly while maintaining a professional finish.


Motorised Curtain Tracks: Convenience Meets Technology

For modern interiors or high-end projects, motorised curtain tracks offer unmatched convenience, especially in spaces with hard-to-reach windows or multiple large panels. By integrating Somfy motors, you can offer your clients smart home functionality, effortless control and enhanced energy efficiency.

Benefits of motorised tracks include:

    Remote operation via smartphone, tablet or voice assistants

    Customisable schedules to automate curtain movement

    Integration with smart home systems like Somfy TaHoma

    Silent and smooth operation, perfect for any room

    Ideal for commercial spaces, hotels and luxury homes

Evans’ Evaglide motorised tracks are designed to combine elegance with performance, capable of supporting large curtains and heavy fabrics while offering reliable, long-lasting operation.
