Forest brand complete recessed hidden ceiling curtain track set for a flush ceiling mount with your choice of slides. Note that if Wavefold carriers are selected, no internal splices will be included. Carefully butt sections of track together during installation, if applicable, testing for a smooth transition. See our Wavefold collection page for more information on the wavefold style of carrier.

Technical details

Heavy duty aluminum track, powder coated white; 1/2" high, 7/8" wide. Designed to be recessed into a 5/8" wide channel of 1/2" sheetrock (drywall) for a flush ceiling mount. The bottom flanges allow for a clean sheetrock installation inserted with no compound needed. If 5/8" sheetrock is used, the installer should be careful not to overtighten screws.

Track is rated at 3 lbs per foot; for example, a 10 ft. track will hold a maximum of 30 lbs. A 90 degree bend (or custom angle) is available. Batons can be added and are available to purchase separately.

One end of each track set will be punched to allow access for adding and removing slides. The special end piece allows for a "fixed carrier" to be added (included) or just a screw to hold the cap in place. If you don't want this feature, let us know in the special instruction box in the shopping cart. The other end can be easily cut with a hack saw or leave a custom cut dimension and we will cut it for you.

The track has holes punched for easy installation and has a centered indentation along the length of the track for easy drilling, if needed. Trim head screws need to be used to prevent scoring of the channel.

Each set includes the track, special end piece, splices (if applicable), screws, and 3 1/2 slides per foot. The quantity of wavefold carriers will be based on the wavefold chart.

Why and where to use recessed curtain tracks

Interior designers prefer recessed tracks for new-built homes and renovations, providing a minimalist look. Because wood blocking needs to be installed in the ceiling, retrofitting can be difficult unless large sections of sheetrock are removed. Curtain tracks should be included in the initial design phase for better integration.

The KS recess track system is designed for light to medium-weight curtains. Manual curtain track systems are cost-effective and easy to operate. They allow for independent opening or closing of any drapery section.

Recessed curtain tracks offer a sleek and modern aesthetic, seamlessly blending into the ceiling to create a clean and unobtrusive appearance. This design choice is particularly beneficial in spaces where a streamlined look is desired, such as contemporary living rooms, offices, or minimalist bedrooms. By concealing the curtain track within the ceiling, the focus can remain on the curtains themselves, enhancing the overall decor without the distraction of visible hardware.

Recessed tracks are compatible with various curtain carrier styles, including wavefold and pleated designs, allowing for versatile drapery options that cater to different tastes and functional needs. The installation of recessed tracks, while requiring careful planning and execution, results in a durable and long-lasting solution that adds value to any space. The absence of cords in manual systems not only simplifies usage but also enhances safety, making them a suitable choice for homes with children or pets.

great product!

the track was great and the service even better!

Install didn't end in divorce (yay!)

I purchased these in mild terror about how complicated (and anger inducing) the install may be for my husband because our ceiling is already a finished situation (not a current construction) and we had no idea what was under the sheetrock. However, to our joy and amazement, the install only took about 3 hours start to finish (including cleanup). We were fortunate to find that there was plywood under the sheetrock so we didn’t need to do anything special to be able to secure the tracks. Just had to cut out the two channels (we did two single tracks) and do a tiny bit of retexturing on the ceiling (thank God)!

Also, “Baby Yoda” was insanely helpful! I absolutely recommend purchasing from this company and will very likely end up buying more of these tracks!

Great service!

I’m new to curtain tracks and really didn’t know what I needed for my project. I called their number and the guy (sorry! I forget his name) couldn’t have been more helpful and patient. He really listened to what I was trying to do and then walked me through all the parts that I would need and made suggestions that were very helpful. The rod and components came in great condition. I haven’t installed them yet so I can’t tell you how they’ve been working, but I suspect they'll be great.
