Triple E quotes will provide you with a bespoke quote for corded, motorised and walkalong track layouts.
Here at Triple E we design, manufacture, and install durable, reliable stage curtain tracks for the theatre, film, TV, and events industries across the UK and Europe.
Stage curtain tracks are the backbone of any performance and, without them, curtains, scenery, drapes, and effects cannot be utilised to the fullest potential. Our goal is to support you in finding a suitable stage curtain track that not only meets your requirements but brings your performance to life.

Curtain tracks come in 3 different forms, each functioning differently and fitting a specific application or requirement.
Description: ‘works by walking with the curtain (pulling) in the desired direction you wish for it to move along the track (to open or close).’
Suitable for: small venues such as drama studios, performing arts spaces, and applications outside of the entertainment industry including retail, sports halls, offices, schools, and community halls.
Ideal for masking curtains, perimeter tracks, blue screens, green screens, and cycloramas.
All of our curtain tracks can be used as walkalong, but our 2Way track product combines exceptional performance with a discrete, compact size and is now often our choice for walkalong requirements.
