Fo Sin is so weird..It just gives me the impression they are making advertisement from this forum..

Different users are created with the SAME ADVERTISEMENT..It is very annoying.

Why don't the "USERS" from Fo Sin give forumers here advice instead keep on advertising?

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!  sad.gif 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. hmm.gif

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.

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 nod.gif

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. nod.gif
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 cool2.gif

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?

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.
