C2B Original 196" (500cm) Plastic Curtain Track - Strong, Bendable Curtain Track - Bay & Straight Windows, Wall & Ceiling Mounted, Curtains & Shower Curtains, Easily Cut Down, Parts for 3 Tracks.

I needed a low cost way to hang a photography backdrop from the ceiling. The backdrop ran across the end of my room, and several feet up both sides in a huge "U" configuration. This is the opposite of how most users install it, and it required bending the plastric track backwards from the way it comes rolled up. That took a little doing, I wound it backwards around a bucket to remove the set curve that went the wrong way. Since I was installing it from a ceiling, and my ceiling was not perfectly flat, I first attached 1 X 2 in fir strips along the planned path. That made installation easy. The brackets are designed to let you hang the track from a ceiling or to put it on a wall. There were plenty of glides supplied, and I used all but about 8 inches of the track. Since I wanter the backdrop to stretch out, and not be pleated like a curtain, I installed grommets in the top of the backdrop, and used 1 in "S" hooks to hold it up. The result is wonderful, it pulls easily and effortlessly all around the almost 16 feet of track. I'd highly recommend this for a low cost way of hanging a curtain or draperies.

The plastic/PVC hooks don't always glide well on the PVC track, at least not for our lightweight, short, cotton curtains. I used a small paintbrush to dab some mineral oil (baby oil) on the parts of the track where the hooks grip. It took around 5 minutes, and now the curtains ZOOM! (I thought about using silicone spray lube, but I've heard mixed reports about whether it makes PVC gummy over time. Mineral oil seemed a bit more inert, so I tried that. No promises on long term results-- but so far so good.) The planning took a lot longer than the installation, but I'm glad I took the time. I measured things several times, marked it out on paper, and then marked it on the ceiling in pencil. Before installing, we spent some time spent carefully bending the track in reverse to straighten it-- it was shipped as a tight coil, which left a lot of curvature. As the instructions say, soaking the track in warm water helps loosen the curves, and I'm pretty sure setting it outside on a sunny day would have helped (but alas, it's winter). After installation, the end result is a nicely curved, fairly smooth, ceiling-mounted track curtain rod. It was relatively easy to install-- with heavy curtains you WILL need some kind of anchors for a ceiling mount, but for our lightweight application it held up fine with just screws fastened directly into drywall. There were a few sections of the track that did not look straight or smoothly curved, so after a few days I went back and adjusted it. I worked from the center of the track and smoothed out the wiggly sections by easing the track from the center to closer to the ends; as I worked, I made small adjustments to where the ceiling anchors clipped into the track: if there seemed to be excess track, I smoothed it over and clipped a different spot onto the anchor. I used these to put a small curtain around the top of my daughter's bunk bed, just for kicks. Now she's got her own hide-out-- fun!

This is a great, easy to install product! I used this to utilize a 360 degree curtain in my outdoor spa gazebo for privacy purposes. I followed the installation instructions perfectly. My only issue is in my gazebo is not climate controlled, and in the heat of the day the track being made of plastic seems to expand slightly causing the track to become wavy. It does not really affect the functionality of it. It's mainly an astetic thing. But it works so well it's worth it. For reference I have an outdoor thermometer in my gazebo and when I first noticed the waving, it was 115 degrees. The video also shows a gap in the joint coupler holding two sections together with a slight gap. It must have formed due to the expansion and contraction due to the extreme temp fluctuations I have where I have it installed.

This is a terrible item I am very disappointed that I made the decision to purchase it for my patio door. I needed a ceiling mounted track for a very light sheer curtain. I opted for this item because the description and reviews stated it was a 'quiet' option as compared to traditional metal tracks, as well as, the option to cut it to size. My patio doors are approximately 12 feet wide. This purchase decision of mine was a big mistake. Although the directions indicate the plastic track can be mounted on the ceiling, I want to state clearly that this product does not work as a ceiling mount. My first attempt to install the curtains as ceiling mounted was a total disappointment because the plastic clip on gliders would not hold the weight of the sheers and they popped off the track when we tried to open/close them. Again I mention that the curtains I used are unlined cotton sheers. With the second try we installed to the wall. This cost me extra time and labor as my cornice was designed for ceiling mount. I had to have this removed to have the track installed. Once done, and the curtains were hung, when we tried to open/close the track kept getting stuck. After tugging past the first couple sticking points we realized that the curtains gets stuck at every Keylock support; so basically the more Keylocks used the more your curtain will get stuck. There is no 'smooth glide'. This is a terrible option for hanging curtains (ceiling or wall mount) I would not advise anyone use it.

Justo lo que buscaba un carril que se pegará totalmente al techo fácil de instalar y de moldear muy recomendable las piezas corren muy suave por la pista y las cortinas se ajustan totalmente al techo quedando un efecto muy bonito

Habe für die Studenten Wohnung meines Sohnes eine Erker Vorhang Lösung gesucht - und gefunden! Wirklich einfach zu montieren und funktioniert perfekt. Hätte ich das vorher gefunden dann hätte ich alle Vorhänge mit diesem System gemacht... für Altbau Wohnungen ohne Rollläden super, da die Schiene perfekt läuft und der Vorhang durch die langen Aufgang-Schieber wirklich nach oben die Gardine aufrecht hält; so kann man den Raum richtig dunkel bekommen. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

This is the best thing ever! I have just moved into a new house where I had to install my own straight, ceiling-mounted curtain tracks and where I live (Luxembourg), these things cost an arm and a leg. So I took a chance on this one and I do not regret it one bit! It arrived this morning, and it took only an hour and a half to install, clean (after drilling, etc) and hang up my curtains. I only ordered for one room to try, but I do have a lounge and a second bedroom that need curtains, so I'll be ordering this track again soon. I just wanted to share a few tips: - The instructions are pretty clear but I did have to go over them a few times to make sure I had the left and right, top and reverse attachments and bits in order (I didn't want to have to undo and redo the work). - The track itself is rolled quite tightly into a coil when it's in its own packaging. Don't be shy when applying a bit of force to straighten it out. I was being quite gentle as I didn't want to bend it the wrong way then have to bend it back into a straight line again, but I found there really is no need to worry about that. - The track is flexible and once it is uncoiled and you are beginning to bend it into shape, I found it best to wait a few minutes to see how the shape of the track "settles" because of its elasticity. You may want to focus on fine tuning the shape in an area or two to get best results, otherwise it won't be as you want it when you begin to attach the track onto the keylock supports. - #5 masonry drill bit was used for the holes (hope that helps! It's probably just me, but I couldn't find any reference to which size drill bit to use, but then again, I'm hardly a DIY expert.) - I used a sharp pair of garden shears to cut the track down to size. With a bit of pressure, they cut smooth and in one go. I found this better than using a saw, etc. All in all, this fantastic product saved me a bundle, in terms of extensive costs, effort and hassle! I was worried about the lounge windows before trying this, but now I know the task will be super easy. I highly recommend this product!!

Fairly straightforward to put up. Only two minor niggles - the track having been delivered tightly rolled up required some ‘gentle’ persuasion to be straight enough to attach to the supports. Also attaching the curtain hooks took some force to ensure they clipped onto the track. Otherwise good way to put up a track to fit a bay window.

Für meinen Erkerfenster-Wintergarten war die flexible Vorhangschiene die einzige kostengünstige Möglichkeit um einen Vorhang anzubringen. Das Anbringen ging zu zweit auch recht einfach und es hält seit mittlerweile 2 Jahren sehr stabil. Die Optik ist unauffällig und stört mich überhaupt nicht. Ich bin auf jeden Fall zufrieden!
