Bay windows and large openings have become a staple of modern architecture, whether in private homes, hotels, offices, or public buildings. They offer natural light, open views, and a sense of spaciousness. But they also raise a key technical question:
Which curtain track is best suited to cover such wide openings effectively and elegantly?
The 6200 Track: The Ideal Solution for Large Dimensions
At Goelst, the 6200 track is specifically designed to meet the challenges of bay windows and large openings. It’s a premium-grade track that combines strength, discretion, and versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of environments.
Key benefits:
- ✅ Designed for long spans (up to 6 metres without a joint),
- ✅ Custom bendable to follow architectural curves (bow windows, corners, circular walls…),
- ✅ Available in manual or motorised version,
- ✅ Quiet and discreet: its aluminium profile remains elegant even over long lengths.
Heavy Curtains? Choose the Motorised Version
For heavy or voluminous curtains (e.g. blackout fabrics, double-layered, full-height), we strongly recommend a motorised system.
Benefits include:
- Effortless, smooth opening, even with large curtains,
- Increased durability of the track and components,
- Enhanced comfort and convenience, especially in high-end projects.
The motorised system can be controlled:
- by radio remote control,
- via wall switch,
- or integrated into a smart home or building automation system.
Real-life example:
In a modern home with a 5-metre-wide bay window, the 6200 track was installed in its motorised version to ensure smooth operation of a heavy velvet curtain. This choice added comfort while maintaining reliable daily use.
Where and How to Use It – Practical Applications
???? Private Homes
In living rooms or verandas with large openings, the 6200 track offers a discreet, elegant finish. It can be curved to match the specific shape of the room.
???? Hotels and Hospitality
In premium rooms or suites, a motorised curtain track adds a luxurious touch. It’s also ideal for automating curtain movement depending on daylight or guest preferences.

The 6200 track can be used to dress large glass façades or create flexible partitions using technical fabrics (e.g. acoustic or blackout curtains).
