phoenix, I am not sure if plaster ceiling can support curtain for 10ft length. I'm worried if the whole thing drop then I'll end up with a damaged plaster ceiling or worst, someone injured! sigh.....

You hafta check with your plaster ceiling guy of there is a plaster ceiling frame where you can attach the ceiling bracket around that area. and if the plaster ceiling can handle this weight. Also you can explore lighter curtains.

Maybe you can use Kvartal Wall Bracket, but rather than attached it to the back of the wall like usual (on top of the window which you do not have),
you attach the wall bracket to the side, left and right side of the window wall.
Use the Wall bracket that has longer reach (the ones where they fit 3+1 track) and with these hold the track in place from the end of the track instead in the middle.
This should work as long as your window are less than 55" wide.
You hafta see the kvartal system to fully understand what I mean.

Okay, I will check it out. Thanks phoenix69. At least I don't feel so sad and helpless now. Good day to you.

This is a quotation that I got from a curtain make:

1 sliding door 9'4" tall X 8'4" width
1 window 9'4"tall X 7'6" width (black out)
2 windows 6'10" tall X 7'6" width
4 sets waterproof roller blinds 4 feet x 4 feet.

All french pleat blinds, aluminium double tracks with organza layer except roller blinds. Total 4.3K.

Reasonable?

Yup, look reasonable to me. Mine is less that what you have, but price is 4.4k at Baagus.

Another option is that you go to Nilai Square 3, Nilai Commercial Centre.
Wifey wanna save money so she went there, shops looks quiet but price and choices there are not bad at all.
Overall savings approx. RM1000 compared to Baagus at current promotion price for my whole house.
Worth the trouble

Weikee, mind to share the material you buy from Baagus?

Nilai 3 provide rail installation to Shah Alam? How's the quality?

One more thing, is there a need to specification I should take note when it comes to the curtain tracks? They told me it's double track but is there anything I should ask like the thickness of the aluminium they use etc? Wooden and aluminium track, which one is more durable?

Quality wise in Nilai 3, I would rate moderate to Good.
I did not ask about the railing/track installation as I was planning to use IKEA's.
I saw the aluminium track provided by Baagus, and the ones that is sold outside, IKEA's KVARTAL quality are definitely better.
Aluminum is much thicker than anything I found outside.
The design is soooooo cool

I forgot to mention one detail.
The KVARTAL Wall Bracket that I mentioned to be utilized in this ad-hoc way needs to be adjusted.
The part of the wall bracket in front where it curls down need to be cut off for this method to work.

phoenix69, I was in Ikea yesterday, saw the Kvartal range but they only have 2 types of mounting, one - to the wall above the window and another type is mounted to the ceiling above. Didn't see anything that can be mounted to the left and right wall of the window. Not sure if you mean the same type of mounting used above the window's wall?

I also bought baagus curtains. Personally i find that their customer service is good! And so are their curtains.

I also bought their pillows too..

Added on January 9, 2012, 1:19 pmAbout the curtain track, I also bought from baagus. Dunno the quality is good or not..also dont really care coz for me I just need something affordable to hang the curtain..so really tired also to go looking hehe

Its the wall mount type (extra reach one) but as I mentioned, you got to "modify" the wall bracket by doing this.
:-- in front where it curls down need to be cut off for this method to work

This is a ad hoc, non conventional method but it can solve your problem.

I personally would recommend Nagoya if u guys wanna save $$. Their cloths are way cheaper than other curtain shop.
I remember one exactly the same type of fabric, other curtain shop charge me for RM30++/meter while i found it in Nagoya only cost RM12++/meter.

Nagoya is good. Nilai3 is best. In regards to value. Curtain track can be easily DIY. Go hardware shop and tell then how long track u want, single or double. Then ask them to cut accordingly. Make sure you get the better quality type...usually got 2 types.

Agree with the above, Nagoya is by far has the best value fabrics for curtains.

With the installation, I learned that Fo Sin at Ipoh street are not necessarily the cheapest (yet they are quite low and good value), as they offer now RM 5 per foot run of custom aluminum rails, without installer's fees. Other places like Nagoya offers RM 6 with installation included. That is for custom rails which are necessary to take if the rails need to be longer than 9 feet. If your rails are going to be shorter than 9 feet long though, it's much cheaper to get ready made ones from the likes of Houz Depot or hardware shops.

I have experienced the quality of fabrics at Nagoya. Although very cheap, the curtains literally tear in a year. I made curtains from Nagoya $15 fabric and the curtains didn't even last a year. When I replaced them with something more expensive, they lasted more than 3 years. That too I changed them because I was bored of the design. They are still in good shape.

My window is like a half-hexagon shape, so my curtain track will need to be bended at the corner area.

Anyone know where to get the curve curtain rail?

anyone got any recommendation for curtain blinds, for kitchen
needs to be wipe friendly i guess

any other people got curtains recommendation?
someone mentioned before ss2, pj, got cheap and good curtain retailers? any ideas?

I highly recommend Goodmeyer for curtain tracks, and Tewah for curtain fabrics.




CURTAIN TRACKS

For curtain tracks, you can go to Goodmeyer, look for Ms Khoo or Ms Lee. They're very helpful and friendly and will introduce you to installers if you need them. For me, when I asked they introduced a very professional installer - Mr Lim. Some people choose to cut and install DIY. But I suggest you get Mr Lim to install, he's really good!


Goodmeyer has some of the best quality aluminum curtain rails (plain, powder-coated, etc) - these are usually used by designers and expensive curtain shops. They manufacture the rails themselves so you are buying right from the source. They have some different grades of materials, but just by looking, the smooth gliding motion, material - you know their products are superior to those found in hardware shops.

CURTAIN FABRICS


For curtains, after surveying Macys and many other expensive curtain shops, I finally got mine made at Tewah IOI Mall. You'll be amazed by their variety - basic, moderate, lux fabrics, everything available. Prices are great. It was so much better than going to curtain shops and often looking at small squares of fabrics from catalogues!


Look for Mr Robert Yong - he has tons of experience (knows a lot about the materials), will explain things patiently one by one to you. He's very detailed 细心and particular, important traits - since he'll help you in choosing fabrics.


And they have sheers/ other curtain materials to suit all budgets. For me, I'm doing double rail for most of my windows - one layer blackout + one layer sheer. For some windows, I use other fabrics. I even made heavy fabrics to keep in the aircond and for 2 walls...

Added on August 30, 2012, 10:21 pmTewah clearly lists their sewing charges. This I like. I find that many curtain shops do not do this.

I made Singapore pleats because much easier - much less time consuming - to put in the hooks.

Added on August 30, 2012, 10:29 pmYou can call Aaron 016-349-0213, of Modern Home Trading at Kota Kemuning. I bought his special promo blinds for the kitchen, at RM8 psf and they're lovely. Waterproof, 70% light transmission, with subtle leaf patterns.

Ask Aaron specifically for the RM8 psf promo blinds - he'll know what you're talking about. There are many colors, designs, degree of light transmission to choose from.

If you live far away from Kota Kemuning, Aaron can send someone to measure and show you the blind fabric book. This I know because I helped a friend ask.

Can mention Karen Wong introduce him.

May I know roughly how much it will cost for a 10ft sliding door curtain by tailored made inclusive cloth?
Should I buy those ready made in Jusco or get a tailored made?
