The Silent Gliss 3870 is a heavy-duty hand/cord-operated aluminium curtain track, engineered for wide spans, bay windows and installations where a higher curtain weight rating is required. Compatible with standard tape headings and wave-heading curtains, the SG 3870 can be bent in-house to follow bay and angled window geometry, making it one of the most versatile manual curtain track systems in the Silent Gliss range.
The SG 3870 is operated by cord or baton draw and is available in both ceiling-fix and wall-fix configurations. It accepts standard curtain tape headings and, when fitted with the correct wave gliders, is fully compatible with wave-heading curtains — including the 80mm wave spacing used across the Silent Gliss motorised track range. As an authorised Silent Gliss dealer, we supply the SG 3870 in all standard Silent Gliss finishes and provide full installation, including bay radius measurement, in-house track bending, test-fitting and final fix.

FAQ
Can the Silent Gliss 3870 be bent for bay windows?
Yes. The SG 3870 aluminium profile can be bent in-house to follow the exact geometry of any bay window, curved glazed bay or angled window opening. We measure every bay on site during the survey stage, bend each track to the required radius at our premises using the correct Silent Gliss tooling, and test-fit the bent track before delivery to site. This process eliminates the fitting problems that occur when tracks are bent without verification or when a straight track is used as a compromise in a bay window setting.
Is the Silent Gliss 3870 compatible with wave curtains?
Yes. The SG 3870 accepts Silent Gliss wave gliders, making it compatible with wave-heading curtains at the standard 80mm wave spacing used across the Silent Gliss range. This is the same heading spacing used on the SG 5600 motorised track and the Glydea electric track, which means the SG 3870 can be used for manual wave curtains in rooms where motorised operation is not required, while maintaining a consistent wave fold across the development.
What is the difference between the Silent Gliss 3870 and the SG 1070?
The SG 3870 is the heavy-duty track in the Silent Gliss manual range, while the SG 1070 is the lighter-duty standard track. The SG 3870 has a heavier aluminium extrusion and a reinforced glider system, giving it a higher curtain weight rating and better performance across wide spans. Additionally, the SG 3870’s profile is designed to be bent to bay and curved window radius — a capability the SG 1070 does not offer. For principal rooms with heavy interlined curtains or bay windows, the SG 3870 is the correct specification choice.
