At Upper Interiors, selecting the correct curtain system is essential for both the functionality and overall design of a home. Curtains should complement the architecture of the space while providing privacy, light control and insulation. We work with trusted South African suppliers to ensure durable, high-quality installations.
Curtain tracks vs curtain rods
Curtain tracks are the most commonly used option in modern homes. Aluminium tracks from Upper Interiors allow curtains to glide smoothly and are ideal for ceiling mounting and heavier curtains.
Curtain rods (poles) are decorative and visible. These are best suited for eyelet curtains or traditional interiors, with quality options available from Uppers Design Quarter.
Wave curtain tracks
Wave curtains are one of the most popular modern curtain styles. They create soft, uniform folds across the fabric for a clean and elegant look.
Recommended systems include:
Upper wave curtain tracks
Silent glide wave tracks
These tracks can be ceiling mounted, allowing curtains to run from ceiling to floor for a luxurious finish.
Curtain rails for hidden ceilings
Where the curtain rail is designed to be hidden behind the ceiling (inside a ceiling recess or bulkhead), we recommend slim aluminium curtain tracks such as the Upper Wave Track. These tracks fit neatly into ceiling pockets, so the curtain appears to fall directly from the ceiling with no visible rail.
High ceilings and large windows
For homes with higher ceilings or large windows, heavy duty aluminium curtain tracks are recommended. These provide strong support and smooth operation for long or heavy curtains.
Budget friendly options
For more budget-conscious installations, PVC or manual aluminium curtain tracks offer a reliable and cost-effective solution, while still maintaining quality performance.
Upper Interiors recommendation
For most homes, we recommend:
Ceiling mounted wave curtain tracks for a modern look
Double curtain tracks for layered sheer and blockout curtains
Papini aluminium curtain tracks for durability and smooth operation
This ensures a clean, elegant finish while maintaining practicality and longevity.
Automated (motorised) curtains
For added luxury and convenience, motorised curtain tracks can be installed. These systems use a quiet electric motor inside the track to automatically open and close the curtains. They can be operated using a remote control, wall switch or smartphone app.
Motorised curtain systems available locally include the Omnia motorised track range supplied through upper interiors.
These systems are ideal for:
High ceilings or hard-to-reach windows
Large or heavy curtains
Modern smart homes
Luxury living spaces
Automated curtains provide smooth, hands-free operation and can even be programmed to open and close at specific times of the day.
