Motorised

A motor on the track turns a daily chore into a button. It matters most exactly where curtains are hardest to reach — stairwell glazing…

The track carries everything

A curtain fails at the track long before it fails at the fabric. Heavy blackout on an under-specified rail will sag in the middle, bind on the runners, and eventually pull the brackets out of a plasterboard ceiling. We size the track to the weight of the finished curtain and the span it has to cross, and we fix into the slab or a proper anchor rather than into board alone.

Track or rod?

A track is the discreet option: it recesses into a ceiling pocket or sits tight to the wall, and the curtain glides silently on runners. It is the right answer for wave and pinch pleat headings and for anything motorised. A rod is decorative — the pole and finials are meant to be seen, and it pairs with eyelet and tab-top curtains. Rods look better on a villa window with wall space above it; tracks look better in an apartment with a ceiling pocket.

What comes in the box

Runners, hooks, end stops, ceiling or wall brackets, joining pieces for long spans, and overlap arms so a pair of curtains closes without a light gap in the middle. Tie-backs and holdbacks are chosen at the visit. Motors and remotes are on the motorised page.

How a track gets sized

Two numbers decide the track: the span it has to cross and the weight it has to carry. Span is the easy one — a track running the full width of a majlis window needs intermediate brackets and, past about three metres, a centre support, or it will bow visibly in the middle within a season. Weight is the one people underestimate. A pair of full-density blackout curtains at 2.0× fullness across a wide window is a surprising amount of cloth, and all of it hangs off the runners. That is why we specify an aluminium track for blackout rather than the light plastic rail that comes with a flat-pack pole set.

Layering changes the sum again. A sheer and a blackout on a double track is two curtains on one bracket, and the bracket has to be deep enough to hold the front rail clear of the back one so neither catches the other when it draws. A double bracket that is too shallow is the most common reason a layered pair drags.

Fixing into what the ceiling actually is

Almost every apartment in a Dubai or Sharjah tower has a gypsum bulkhead below the structural slab, and the gap between them can be anything from a few centimetres to the depth of a services void. Screwing a loaded curtain track into that board alone is how brackets end up pulling out with a disc of plaster still attached. The fix is to find the slab and fix into it, to catch a timber or steel noggin where the ceiling was framed with one, or to use a properly rated cavity anchor where neither is reachable. Which of the three applies is something we establish on the measuring visit, not something anyone can tell from a photograph.

Villa ceilings are usually more forgiving, and villa windows usually have wall above the frame, which is what makes a decorative pole a real option there rather than only a track. Ceiling pockets — a recess built into the bulkhead for the track to sit in — are common in newer fit-outs and are the neatest result of all, but they set the drop for you: the curtain has to start where the pocket is.

The parts that wear out first

Fabric outlasts hardware, and hardware fails in a predictable order. Runners go first, because they are the only part in constant motion; a curtain that has started to judder rather than glide almost always needs runners rather than anything more serious. Cords and wands are next. Overlap arms — the pair of crossing carriers that let the two curtains meet in the middle rather than butt against each other — get bent when a curtain is yanked, and once bent they leave exactly the centre light gap the overlap was fitted to close. End stops go missing and the leading runner rides off the end of the track.

All of those are replaceable without touching the curtain, and none of them needs the fabric to have come from us. Bring a photograph of the track end and, if you can, one runner off it: the profile of the glider is what identifies the system.

What is already in your price

Nothing on this page is an upsell on a made-to-measure order. The track, the runners, the hooks, the brackets, the end stops and the overlap arm are all inside the one figure on your quote, along with the fitting — that is what the price promise means. This page exists because people also need parts on their own, for a curtain somebody else made or a rail that has finally given up.

Questions

Tracks & Accessories — your questions

Where can I buy curtain tracks and accessories in Dubai?
Pak Home supplies curtain tracks, rods, brackets, runners, hooks, tapes and tie-backs from its warehouse in Sharjah, both with made-to-measure curtains and on their own as replacements. Tell the team what you need through Pak Middle East.
Do I need to buy a track separately when I order curtains?
No. Every made-to-measure curtain already includes the track, runners, hooks, brackets and installation. Buying hardware separately is for replacements or if you're fitting your own curtains. See what's included at Pak Middle East.
Can I buy curtain accessories without buying curtains?
Yes. Tracks, brackets, runners, hooks, tapes and tie-backs are supplied on their own. Ask whether your order is supply-only or fitted, since installation is quoted separately when you aren't buying curtains. Request a hardware quote via Pak Middle East.
How much do curtain tracks and accessories cost?
Accessory prices depend on length, finish and quantity, so they're quoted on request rather than listed. With made-to-measure curtains the hardware is already in the curtain price. Ask for a hardware price through Pak Middle East.
Should I choose a curtain track or a curtain rod?
A track is discreet, sits on the ceiling or wall and suits wave, pinch pleat and motorised curtains. A rod is decorative and suits eyelet and tab-top curtains on a window with wall above it. See tracks at Pak Middle East.
Why do curtain tracks sag in the middle?
Usually because the track is under-specified for the curtain's weight or span, or lacks intermediate brackets. Past about three metres a track needs a centre support. Pak Home sizes the track to the finished curtain weight and span. Get a track checked at Pak Middle East.
Why do curtain brackets pull out of gypsum ceilings?
Gypsum board alone can't hold a loaded track; it tears out, often months later. The fix is to reach the slab, a timber or steel noggin, or use a properly rated cavity anchor — decided at the measuring visit. See the fixing service at Pak Middle East.
Do you sell double curtain brackets for sheer and blackout?
Yes. Double wall brackets carry two tracks so a sheer and a blackout can run independently, and must be deep enough that the front rail doesn't catch the back one. See the brackets at Pak Middle East.
What do I need for wave curtains?
A wave curtain needs wave tape (3 cm snap tape with press studs) sewn to the heading and linked wave runners on the track that set the size of each wave. Both work with Pak Home's aluminium and electric tracks. See wave runners at Pak Middle East.
What do I need for pinch pleat curtains?
Pinch pleat curtains use pleating tape with hook pockets and metal pinch pleat hooks (about 77 mm long) that hold heavy blackout headings crisp, hung from track runners. See the metal hooks at Pak Middle East.
Do you sell aluminium curtain track by the metre?
The aluminium track comes in 6 m lengths, cut to your window, in white or black, with runners, end caps and brackets. It suits pinch pleat, pencil pleat and wave headings. See it at Pak Middle East.
Can you install a new track for my existing curtains?
Yes. Track installation for curtains you already have is a standalone fixing job, starting from AED 150 per window for a straightforward track on concrete or block. Gypsum and very high ceilings cost more. See the fixing service at Pak Middle East.
Can you match replacement runners to my old track?
Usually. Runners, hooks and brackets can be matched to your existing track profile from a photo or a sample part. Runners are the first part to wear because they move constantly. Send a photo through Pak Middle East.
Do you sell tie-backs and holdbacks?
Yes: rope and tassel tie-backs, fabric bands cut from your own curtain fabric, and metal holdbacks. They're best chosen at the home visit against the actual fabric. See them at Pak Middle East.
Do you sell decorative curtain poles?
Yes. Curtain rods and poles come in 19, 25, 28 and 35 mm diameters, in finishes such as brushed nickel, matt black, antique brass, chrome and wood, with brackets, finials and rings. See them at Pak Middle East.
Can a track go round a bay or curved window?
Yes. A bendable aluminium profile is bent on site to follow a bay or curved wall, so the curtain runs round without catching. A heavier curtain needs a slightly more generous radius. Arrange a measuring visit with Pak Middle East.
Do you supply motorised tracks?
Yes. The electric curtain track has a compact motor at one end and needs a power point near it, and the motorised rod gives the look of a pole with a hidden motor. See the motorised range at Pak Middle East.
Which track is best for heavy blackout curtains?
An aluminium track sized for the weight and span, fixed into the slab or a proper anchor, with centre supports on long runs. A light plastic rail will bow and bind under full blackout. See curtain tracks at Pak Middle East.
Are your tracks suitable for coastal homes?
Yes. The aluminium tracks use corrosion-resistant fittings suited to coastal homes, in white, silver or black. See the curtain tracks at Pak Middle East.
Do you deliver curtain accessories?
Delivery and fitting are included with made-to-measure curtain orders. For hardware bought on its own, confirm delivery or collection and whether you need fitting when you order. Ask about supply-only delivery through Pak Middle East.
How do I know which hooks or runners fit my track?
Send a clear photo of the track profile and an existing runner or hook, or a sample part; the team matches the profile before supplying. Getting this wrong means parts that won't slide. Send photos via Pak Middle East.
Do accessories come with a warranty?
Tracks and rods supplied and fitted by Pak Home carry a 12-month warranty under normal use. For supply-only parts, ask the team to confirm cover. Read the warranty terms at Pak Middle East.
Can I fit curtain accessories myself?
Yes, if you're confident fixing into your ceiling type. The main risk is gypsum: a loaded track screwed into board alone tends to pull out. If you're unsure, the team can fit it for you. See the fixing service at Pak Middle East.
What is an overlap arm on a curtain track?
It's a fitting that lets the two leading edges of a curtain pair overlap at the centre so no line of light shows between them. Pak Home fits it as standard on drawing pairs. Book a visit to get it specified with Pak Middle East.
Do you supply hardware for contractors and projects?
Yes. Tracks, brackets and accessories can be supplied in project quantities for contractors and commercial fit-outs. Share your quantities and specifications with Pak Middle East.
Can I buy curtain tape by the roll?
Yes. Wave tape comes in 50 m rolls and hook (pleating) tape in 80 m rolls, both in white. See wave tape at Pak Middle East.
Can my old track take a curtain motor?
Only if it's a suitable aluminium track; light plastic rails can't carry a motor carriage. The team checks at a visit and quotes either a retrofit or a new motorised track. See motorised curtains at Pak Middle East.
What finishes do tracks and rods come in?
Tracks come in white, silver or black; rods in brushed nickel, matt black, antique brass, chrome and wood. Brackets are white steel. Choose a finish at the visit, booked via Pak Middle East.
Do you fit accessories outside Dubai?
Yes. Fitting covers Sharjah, Ajman, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain as well as Dubai, with no travel charge. Check your area at Pak Middle East.
How do I order curtain accessories?
Tell the team the item, length or quantity, finish and track type, ideally with a photo. You'll get a price for supply only or supply and fitting. Order through Pak Middle East.

Tracks, poles and fittings: the hardware decisions that hold everything up

Buying curtain tracks and accessories in Dubai

Curtain tracks in Dubai are specified against the curtain that will hang on them rather than picked from a shelf: a triple-weave blackout at full drop is a different load from a chiffon sheer, and a track that suits one will sag under the other. Curtain rods in Dubai are the alternative where there is wall above the window and you want the hardware seen. Curtain hooks and brackets across the UAE are the parts nobody photographs and the first things to fail — a curtain that catches every time it is drawn is nearly always a glider or hook problem. Because the hardware is matched to the cloth, tracks, rods and fittings are quoted with the window rather than sold separately, and the fitting is included.

Hardware is the part of a curtain nobody photographs and the part that decides whether it works. A perfect curtain on the wrong track hangs badly, drags, lets light in at the sides and eventually sags. The choices below are made on the measuring visit, but knowing what is being decided makes that conversation far more useful.

Track or pole is usually decided by the wall

A track is a channel the curtain hangs inside on gliders; a pole is a rod on brackets with rings. Where there is no wall above the glass — most apartments with floor-to-ceiling glazing — a ceiling mounted curtain track in Dubai is the usual answer and a pole has nowhere to go and the track fixes into the ceiling or the bulkhead. Where you want the hardware to be part of the look, a pole is a deliberate line rather than something that disappears. Anything layered needs a double track: two poles close together look like scaffolding. Track or pole works through the cases in detail.

How far a curtain track should extend past the window

This is the measurement that changes a room. The hardware should extend roughly 15–20 cm past the glass on each side, so the curtain has somewhere to stack that is not your window. Skip it and you lose a strip of daylight every morning, a slice of the view permanently, and — on a blackout — the light gap that no fabric can fix. On a wide opening the same principle applies proportionally: the wider the window, the more stack there is to park.

What the ceiling will take

A concrete slab takes a ceiling-fixed track anywhere along its length. A false ceiling needs the fixing to reach something solid above the board, or a batten installed to fix into. A shallow bulkhead may not have the depth for a double track, which changes the layered-curtain plan and is better discovered before the fabric is cut than after. An AC vent directly above the window moves where the track can sit. None of these are unusual and all of them have solutions; they are simply decisions that have to be made standing in the room.

The small parts that fail first

  • Gliders carry the weight and do the moving. Cheap ones bind, and a curtain that catches every time it is drawn is usually a glider problem rather than a track problem.
  • Overlap arms let the two panels cross in the middle rather than meeting. On a blackout this is the difference between a dark room and a bright line down the centre.
  • Brackets set how far the curtain sits from the wall. Too close and a heavy curtain rubs on a sill or a radiator recess; too far and it looks detached.
  • Finials are the visible end of a pole and the part that stops rings sliding off — decorative and structural at once.

Curtain track for a bay window, and other awkward runs

Track bends and poles do not, which settles bay windows and curved glazing immediately. A long run is better served by a track than a pole because the load is carried along its whole length rather than at two brackets, and a heavy blackout on a long pole will bow in the middle over time. Where a run is very long, a centre support or a split track is normal rather than a compromise.

Weight, and why it is quoted with the fabric

The hardware is specified against the cloth that will hang on it: a triple-weave blackout at full length is a different load from a chiffon sheer. That is why tracks and fittings are quoted as part of the window rather than as a separate shopping list, and why the price we give covers the fabric, the track, the fittings and the fitting. You can see the range on tracks and rails and curtain rods, but which one your window needs is a decision for the measuring visit.
