an Introduction
As well as offering new and very individual styling for curtain
poles, Metropole brings that Silent Gliss ‘extra’ – perfect function.
Silent Gliss gliders run in siliconised aluminium channels unhindered
by brackets or rings. Moreover the design of the hand and cord
operated profiles – make them perfect for bay windows and other
curved applications.
The 30mm, 36mm and 50mm poles are compatible with Silent Gliss
Wave® Curtain Heading Systems.
Example: Midial
Metropole is available hand, cord or electrically operated and is
available, in 23mm, 30mm or 50mm diameter or the ultra modern
36mm Metroflat flat profile.
The curtain pole is only the start! You can design your pole to
whatever look you want – contemporary or traditional with a choice
of finials, midials, holdbacks and brackets.
