Curved Vertical Track

If you have a bay window, you’ve probably already discovered that most blinds don’t quite work properly. Standard tracks are straight. Bay windows aren’t. The result is usually a blind that looks wrong, hangs at the wrong angle, and leaves embarrassing gaps where the bay turns.

We make curved vertical track blinds at our Coventry workshop on Endemere Road, shaped specifically to follow the contour of your window. It’s one of the more satisfying jobs in our calendar, because the finished result looks exactly right in a way that off-the-shelf solutions simply never can. We’ve been doing this since 2007 across Coventry and Warwickshire, and our own family-run team handles every survey and fit.

Why standard vertical blinds don’t work on bay windows

A straight track fitted to a curved bay window will either leave gaps between the louvres and the glass, or the louvres won’t hang plumb — they’ll be angled slightly outward at the curves. Looks untidy, reduces privacy, and quietly drives you mad once you notice it.

A curved track is shaped to match the precise contour of your bay. The louvres hang straight, sit flush to the glass, and glide around the curve without snagging. The difference, side by side, is night and day.

How we make them

We start by visiting your home to take precise laser measurements of the bay’s curve — the radius, the angles, the depth of each return. We map it all, then shape the aluminium headrail to match exactly. Everything is made to your window’s specific dimensions; we don’t adapt standard parts.

We’ve fitted curved vertical tracks in Victorian terraces in Earlsdon and Stivichall, in modern semi-detached homes around Bannerbrook, in curved commercial reception areas, and in angled conservatories. Every bay is different, and every track we make is unique.

Fabric choices

The same full range of fabrics is available on curved tracks as on standard vertical blinds: blackout, dim-out, light-filtering, thermal, waterproof and sheer voile. Whatever the room actually needs, we’ll have a fabric that suits.

Operation

The blinds operate just like a standard vertical — a control chain draws them to one side (or both), and a wand rotates the louvres to adjust the light. The only difference is the movement follows the curve smoothly, without catching or jamming. For conservatories or rooms where the track is above easy reach, motorised operation is available and works particularly well with curved systems.

BBSA-accredited, child-safe as standard

We’re accredited members of the British Blind and Shutter Association, and all our blinds — including curved track systems — are fitted with certified child-safe mechanisms. Cordless and wand-operated options are available across the range.

Frequently Asked Questions — Curved Vertical Track Blinds

Can curved vertical blinds be fitted to any bay window?

In the vast majority of cases, yes. We accommodate most bay shapes and angles — standard square bays, 135-degree splayed bays, gently curved Edwardian bows, the works. The free survey lets us assess your specific window and confirm the best approach.

How long does it take to make curved track blinds?

Typically 2-3 weeks from order to fitting, as the track needs to be custom-shaped and the louvres cut to the correct individual drop for each panel.

Are curved vertical blinds difficult to operate?

Not at all. Once fitted, they work like any other vertical blind — smooth, straightforward, easy to adjust daily. The curve is invisible from a user point of view.

Can I choose blackout fabric?

Yes — blackout is a popular pick for bay window bedrooms, and works just as well on a curved track as a straight one.

How much do curved vertical track blinds cost?

Curved tracks involve more bespoke engineering than a straight track, so prices are higher than standard verticals. You’ll get a fully itemised written quote after the free home survey, with no obligation.
