Recessed Blinds and Curtain Tracks by Tred: Making the Technical Disappear

Recessing curtain tracks or blinds into the ceiling has become a preferred solution among architects and designers seeking visual purity and precision in every detail. This approach eliminates visible technical elements, allowing only the intended effect to remain: a fluid fall of fabric or a perfectly stretched shade, without visual interruption.

This architectural choice enhances the space. The eye moves freely, unobstructed by fixtures or visual clutter. Curtains appear to emerge directly from the ceiling; blinds vanish entirely when raised. Everything is aligned, streamlined, and silent. It’s a way to integrate textile comfort or solar protection without ever compromising the overall aesthetic of the space.

Beyond appearance, recessing is also a mark of high-end finishing. It requires precise coordination in the early stages: ceiling reservations, selection of appropriate tracks, planning for technical access, and anticipating power and control points in case of motorisation. When these elements are carefully managed, the result is one of exemplary minimalism.

We collaborate with several premium suppliers for recessed systems for indoor curtains and blinds. We offer a range of techniques depending on the level of precision required: overlapping recess profiles or plaster-in profiles, which provide a flush finish with a simple shadow gap between the ceiling and the recess.

At Tred, we recommend this solution whenever feasible, as it elevates our textile creations and enhances the architecture. It’s a demanding choice—but one that truly makes a difference.
