Room Divider Curtain Track

We offer a variety of curtain tracks that are perfect for creating room dividers. We can now custom bend our Forest KS track and DS track to make 90 degree bends and other shapes you need. This 1/2" tall track has a low profile and a 4" radius bend. It can be wall or ceiling-mounted. We also have the 3/4" CS track that has a 6" radius bend. It's a little more heavy-duty than the KS track, but both have good splices and a patented lubrication for smooth traversing. The latest addition from our Forest drapery hardware lineup is our exclusive Recess track. This track is designed to be installed in a channel in the sheetrock, so is typically used for new construction or extensive remodels.

Our Kirsch 9600 ceiling curtain track has been used for years to divide cubicle spaces. No longer do you need to settle for a standard hospital curtain track or cubicle curtain track. Our tracks can also be mounted to the metal grid in a drop ceiling. Drop chains can be utilized to improve airflow in spaces that have been divided.

What is a Room Divider Curtain Track?

A room divider curtain track is a specialized curtain track designed to separate spaces within a room, offering a flexible and adjustable solution. Typically installed on the ceiling, these tracks allow you to create distinct areas without the need for permanent walls. Available in various lengths and widths, room divider curtain tracks can be tailored to fit different room sizes and window configurations. Made from durable materials like aluminum, these tracks are built to last, ensuring long-term functionality and reliability. Whether you need to partition a living room, bedroom, or office space, a room divider curtain track provides an elegant and practical way to manage your interior layout.

Benefits of Using a Room Divider

Using a room divider curtain track offers numerous advantages that enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of your space. Firstly, it creates a flexible and adjustable room divider that can be easily moved or reconfigured as needed, making it perfect for dynamic environments. Secondly, it helps in separating spaces within a room, providing a sense of privacy and intimacy. Additionally, room divider curtains can block light and noise, creating a more comfortable and focused atmosphere. With a variety of curtain styles and materials available, you can add a decorative element that complements your interior design. Lastly, by creating separate areas for different activities, a room divider curtain track increases the overall functionality of your room, making it more versatile and user-friendly.

Types of Tracks

There are several types of room divider curtain tracks to suit different needs and preferences:

  • Ceiling-mounted tracks: These tracks are installed on the ceiling, offering a sleek and unobtrusive way to create a room divider that can be easily moved or adjusted. Ideal for open-plan spaces, they provide a seamless look and feel.

  • Wall-mounted tracks: Installed on the wall, these would only typically be used when there is a dropped beam or other place where wall style brackets are needed. They are sturdy and reliable, making them suitable for areas where a fixed partition is desired.

  • Angled bend tracks: These tracks can be bent and adjusted to fit around corners or other obstacles, providing a versatile solution for uniquely shaped rooms.

  • All of these tracks allow the curtain to slide back and forth smoothly, offering a flexible and adjustable room divider that can be easily opened or closed as needed.

Each type of track has its own set of benefits, allowing you to choose the best option for your specific requirements.

Materials and Features

Room divider curtain tracks are crafted from a variety of materials, each offering unique benefits:

  • Aluminum: Known for its durability and lightweight properties, aluminum is an excellent choice for room divider curtain tracks. It provides a strong and long-lasting solution that is easy to install and maintain.

  • Steel: Steel is often used with poles and rings and is not nearly as functional for track systems.

  • PVC: PVC tracks are sometimes used with a steel inner wall to create flexible tracks. They are not as aesthetically pleasing, hard to get perfectly straight, and don't conceal the traversing slides.

In addition to material choices, room divider curtain tracks come with various features to enhance their functionality:

  • Adjustable length: Our tracks can be customized to fit different lengths, ensuring a perfect fit for any space.

  • Corner pieces: These allow the track to be installed around corners, providing a seamless and continuous divider.

Utilize a Ceiling Curtain Track to Divide Shared and Multi-Use Spaces

Room divider curtains not only enhance the visual appeal of a space but also serve as effective dividers. A ceiling track room divider is an excellent solution for creating flexible and functional living spaces, enhancing privacy and improving the aesthetic appeal of a room. By suspending curtains from ceiling-mounted tracks, you can easily create distinct areas within multi-use spaces.

When used with curtain tracks, curtains can significantly elevate the look, ambiance, and functionality of a room.

Curtains hung from ceiling tracks offer privacy and help reduce noise between different areas.

Curtain tracks provide flexible installation options tailored to room size and layout. Various shapes, such as L shapes, U shapes, and four-sided configurations, can be achieved with ceiling-mounted curtain tracks, making them ideal for challenging areas and uniquely shaped rooms.

Beyond their aesthetic advantages, room divider curtains present practical solutions for crafting adaptable spaces in homes and offices. They are perfect for converting open-plan living areas into cozier settings or temporarily sectioning off parts of a room for specific activities. The versatility of curtain tracks allows them to be used in diverse settings, from bedrooms to living rooms, offering a seamless method for managing privacy and optimizing space utilization.

How do you hang curtains as a divider?

Hanging curtains as a room divider is a straightforward process that can dramatically transform any space. For example, a window room divider can be an efficient way to divide spaces, especially in setups like RVs and bay windows. The first step is selecting the right curtain track system, such as a ceiling-mounted track, which provides a sleek and modern appearance. Once you have chosen the appropriate track, measure the area where you intend to install the divider curtain. Accurate measurements ensure that the curtain will adequately cover the desired space and provide the necessary privacy or separation.

Next, install the curtain track by securing it to the ceiling. Ceiling brackets are provided with most of our track systems, but a few of them are attached by screwing the track itself to the ceiling. Make sure the track is level and firmly attached to support the weight of the divider curtain. Once the track is in place, attach the curtain hooks or carriers, sliding them onto the track. This setup allows the curtain to glide smoothly when opened or closed.

Which is better, curtain track or pole?

When deciding between a curtain track or a pole for your room divider curtains, it’s important to consider the specific needs of your space. Curtain tracks offer a sleek and minimalist look, ideal for modern interiors. They provide smooth operation and can be ceiling-mounted, making them a great choice for creating seamless room dividers, especially around large windows. Tracks are particularly beneficial for spaces with unique shapes or where a flexible, unobtrusive solution is desired. They allow for easy gliding of curtains, which is perfect for frequently adjusted dividers in multi-use spaces.

On the other hand, curtain poles are often chosen for their decorative appeal. They come in various styles and finishes, adding a touch of elegance to any room. However, they might not offer the same level of flexibility as tracks, especially in terms of installation options like ceiling mounting.

Ultimately, the choice between a curtain track and a pole depends on the desired functionality and style of your room divider. For a more streamlined and practical approach, curtain tracks are often preferred, especially in environments where space optimization and ease of use are priorities.
