RE: Silent Gliss curtain tracks

["Mick Furlong" <dorsai@xxxxxxx>]

I would love t  see how you d  that Phil sounds near impossible ;)

On the earlier point of silent drapes...has anyone ever heard a silent
wooden curtain pole?..I d ubt it ..... so why d  we expect the automated
ones to be silent ?

The one in my living room makes enough noise to wake the dead...it would
drown out any imaginable motor noise...so my plan is t  figure out a way to
motorise it...a lot easier than cutting the pole in half and fitting dummy
wooden rings..plus waf should be high;)
