Right folks, just had a new window fitted and the porch re-plastered, bought some curtains and a rail, all good so far you say...

Problem is that the window now meets the roof so the new curtain rail would have to fitted to the ceiling which would leave a 3" gap. I've had a look around, even checked the 'Pikea' catalogue and I cannot find a suitable rail with a shallow extension.

Any ideas??????

Swish I believe are the biggest curtain rail manufacturer in the country. They should have a product information section on their website.

Presumably what you need is a ceiling mounted curtain rail?

Just an idea,...Blinds,the rail that holds the blinds mounts to the cieling with no gap.
Then a rail of the type that is put close to the cieling for light fabric curtains or coulored net type nets,just an idea.
