ᐅ Curtains – Track or Rod – Recommendations for Manufacturers?

Hello everyone,
We have reached the "decoration phase" and would like to install curtains for our floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room.
Now the question about mounting:
In the bedroom, I have a standard curtain rod attached to the wall on both sides. The rod sags slightly in the middle, but this is hardly noticeable unless you look closely.
In the living room, I would prefer a "better" solution, possibly something invisible, so that the eyelets/loops, etc., are not visible. The curtains should, of course, slide smoothly and ideally stay in a nice wave shape.
So my question is:
What have you done? I am definitely open to ceiling mounting! I think mounting a rod in the middle will be difficult because of the roller shutter box (I don’t want to drill into it if possible).
There are tracks ranging from €5 to €60, and I’m really unsure what makes sense here. Maybe someone can share their experience?
Desired features:
- Track/loops/hooks as invisible as possible
- Easy installation
- No cheap materials
- Ceiling or wall mounting, as long as drilling through the roller shutter box is not required.
The window is a 2-panel floor-to-ceiling window, 1.76m (5.8 ft) wide.

Unfortunately, I can’t say which supplier that is. We also have these kinds of rails. They actually come in different versions and can be found at hardware stores like Bauhaus.
We bought 3 rails, including the ceiling mounting hardware, the appropriate gliders for the curtains, and a connector piece because the rails weren’t available in the exact length we needed. In total, we paid about €170.

Hello,
here are the close-up shots.
When the curtain is pulled apart and neatly folded at the top, you can hardly see the track anymore.
Unfortunately, I cannot tell which supplier it is. Our interior decorator retired in February. I think this is a very good solution. Maybe we should also install something like this in our house.
