Silent Glss Twist Eye End Stop

Tracks Direct was recently contacted by a customer in need of a precise solution. They were planning to install curtains across a span that covered both a doorway and a window. But they didn’t want a traditional single curtain that would sweep fully across both. Instead, they wanted functionality: a curtain that would stop part-way along the track—allowing them to cover the window or the door independently without unnecessary overlap.

Straight to the Point: The Technical Challenge

The customer contacted Tracks Direct directly to find out if there was a way to physically limit the travel of a curtain on a track—so one could stop halfway, exactly where needed. What they needed was a mechanism to act as a stopper within the curtain track. They Explained:

I want to be able to put one curtain that only covers the window, but then have a stopper so that my door curtain would stop before the window.

The Right Tool: Twist Eye End Stops

Natalie from Tracks Direct was quick to pinpoint the right solution—twist eye end stops, also known internally as end stops. These small but essential components allow installers to control exactly how far curtains travel along the track. It’s a subtle detail, but vital in tailored curtain installations.

Twist eye end stops aren’t usually listed on the website separately—but they’re part of the professional kit. Natalie advised the customer to simply note their requirement in the ‘Additional Information’ box during checkout. That way, the team could include the right number of stoppers directly in the order at no extra cost.

“Just pop it in the box that you spoke to me,” Natalie explained, “and I’ll make sure they’re included.”

Precision That Our Customers Appreciate

In bespoke curtain setups, it’s not just the track that counts—but how precisely it performs in place.

For trade installers and technically-minded customers, it’s small problem-solving touches like this that make the difference. Instead of re-engineering or compromising on the track layout, the customer could achieve exactly the functionality they wanted with a simple, behind-the-scenes add-on.
