Doughty-rails
Doughty rail is een geëxtrudeerd aluminium walk-along gordijnrailsysteem. Het compacte ontwerp maakt de podiumgordijnrails zeer veelzijdig en voldoet perfect aan de behoeften van kleinere studio's, dramastudio's, black box-theaters, kerken, scholen, dorpshuizen, architecturale en residentiële projecten en zelfs pubs.
Naast zilver bieden we ook zwarte gordijnrails aan die perfect backstage opgaan, waardoor de aluminium gordijnrails vrijwel onzichtbaar zijn voor het publiek. Hun belangrijkste kenmerken en voordelen zijn:
- Gebruikt als overlappende gordijnrail
- Laag profiel: Uitstekend voor locaties waar de ruimte beperkt is
- Flexibele gordijnrail: Groot assortiment beugels beschikbaar voor verschillende installaties
- Lichtgewicht maar sterk genoeg om een maximale belasting van 60 kg tussen de beugels te dragen
- Gebogen gordijnrail beschikbaar

Track Components
The Doughty Rail track itself runs in straight and curved sections (available separately, see our Stage Curtain Tracks & Rails range for lengths and radii). Curtains run on the Doughty Rail Ball Raced Runner (6kg WLL each), which uses ball bearings rather than a simple slide fitting, reducing friction so the curtain runs smoothly even on longer track runs. The Twin Hook (3kg WLL) attaches to the runner and connects to a hauling line for tracks operated remotely rather than pulled by hand.
Mounting the Track
Mounting choice depends on the ceiling or wall structure available. The Ceiling Bracket (60kg WLL) suits a flat, solid ceiling, and the Corner Ceiling Bracket (55mm x 55mm, 60kg WLL) handles 90° internal corners where two track runs meet. For wall mounting instead of ceiling, the Wall Bracket (Steel) uses 5mm diameter fixing holes. Where the track needs to sit below a beam, truss or other obstruction, the Top Hat Bracket (60kg WLL) is available in 25mm or 50mm drop heights.
Joining and Finishing Track Runs
Track sections join end to end using the Rail Joint Kit, giving a continuous run without a visible gap for the runners to catch on. At the end of a run, the End Stop and Slide in End Stop both prevent runners from sliding off the track, with the slide-in version fitting flush within the track profile for a cleaner finish.
Fixing Hardware
Where the mounting surface is standard unistrut channel rather than a solid ceiling or wall, the Unistrut Channel Nut, available in M6, M8 and M10 thread sizes, secures brackets directly into the channel without needing to drill new fixing points.
Warranty and Load Ratings
All Doughty Rail components sold by MTN Shop EU are genuine stock, sourced through official distribution, so full manufacturer warranty applies as it would from the brand directly. Bracket components are rated to 60kg WLL, matching the maximum load the track profile supports between mounting points, so bracket spacing should be planned around the actual curtain weight rather than an arbitrary interval.
Planning a Doughty Rail Installation
Bracket spacing determines how the 60kg WLL is distributed along the track, so heavier curtains need brackets placed closer together rather than relying on a single mounting type to carry more load than rated. Choose ceiling, corner, wall or top hat brackets based on the structure available, not curtain weight alone, since all standard brackets share the same 60kg rating.
