    VIDGA Curtain Track x 3* - bit.ly/3DN3j6l
    *Note: I ordered a 3 track as I was going to layer 2 curtains, but decided to only have 1 layer. If you only need 1 curtain layer, you can buy the 1 track. The 3 track does seem to be sturdier and able to hold a heavier curtain.
    Ceiling Brackets are now included when you buy the VIDGA Curtain Track, per the website description.

    Thankyou for explaining / showing how it all fits together. I was looking at them initially, but i didn't realize you could just line them up if they weren't long enough

    This system is very similar to what we had in Germany years ago from childhood and Im 74 now. Love it as no dust can collect on top of curtains and no rods to dust as well! There was also a piece to cover the track !

    Thank you so much for this video, the best one I've found explaining how to install the Vidga track system. We are also ordering white blackout velvet curtains from ChadMade. Wouldn't have found them without you. I am curious though as to why you went with a three-track system, but only installed a single layer of curtains. Am I missing something here? Would it be okay to go with the single track system?

    • @SarahWisted
      @SarahWisted  Před 2 lety +14

      Of course! And I originally planned to do a layer of sheer curtains but I ended up ditching that idea and going with roller shades underneath. I could have use just the single track 🖤

      Thank you! I originally had planned to do a layer of sheer curtains along with the black out layer, but decided I think were going to do a black out roller shade instead of the sheer since I think it will be easier for daily use when the baby is here. I had already ordered the 3 track before we made that decision ☺️

    Hi Sarah. Thanks so much for the helpful tips. Curious as to why you used the multi track if you only hung one row of panels? Unless you’re planning to add a second layer in between the pink? It’s my first time installing the Vidga so I was doing research and your video came up. 🙂

    • @kitian1830
      @kitian1830 Před rokem

      You don’t need to use the triple. You can just use one. And the Ike curtain will cover most of the track which is nice. We used two single ones to install a linen shear in the front, and two at the back on the same track. We wanted a block out curtain, but the ikea blockout has a black plastic finish. So, we put a darkening and a black out on the same track. It was tricky, but we managed a way to put them back to back on the same track.
      When you use two single tracks, You just have to space them so that the curtains can slide freely.

      I was waiting for IKEA to have them in stock as well… But ended up just ordering them off eBay… I was able to order a track and then a second check that was a custom size so that I could fill the whole wall

    Thanks so much for explaining this-
    Do you happen to know the name of the curtains in your office?....
    All the IKEA links unfortunately don’t take us directly to the item. So I’m having a tough time finding them. (They all look the same!! 🤪🔫 ).
    Thanks again!!
    Edit: Never mind...the office links actually worked.

    I love the curtains and track system! Thanks for sharing. What is the name and make of the pink curtains you put in your daughter’s room?

      They’re the ChadMade “Pink Lemonade” color from their Liz Linen collection - rstyle.me/cz-n/ezt836ccev7

    This is helpful, I'm looking for a solution for curtains on a condo window wall that isn't straight, the wall cuts into a den but is all glass, no place for a rod but the ceiling is a great solution...who knew?!
