Easy to useAnonymous reviewerVery easy to put up with the instruction video but you do need to purchase plugs that suit your ceiling
TrackAnonymous reviewerDid the job
Simple and easyAnonymous reviewerLove this track. Really easy to use and put up. Doesn't look like it should hold but it's brilliant especially on the ceiling brackets. With the double track using curtains and voiles it's really elevated our space and it looks so much more expensive to create than it was.
Great, Anonymous reviewerEasy to install and works smoothly. The only advice is the curtains have to be light weight,
Instructions difficult to read - larger font size and clearer image please Anonymous reviewerLabel item/ parts clearer with a reference
The complete pacakgeAnonymous reviewerBought three of these for redecorating an upstairs room. Easy to follow the instructions, cut to size and install on the wall above the window. Great flexibility to adjust how far from the window the curtains hang.
BrilliantAnonymous reviewerEasy to install on to ceiling, only draw back needed more ceiling things
Excellent for sheer, light curtainsAnonymous reviewerWe used these to cover very large glass sliding doors. They went on fairly easily and even though they are noisy and there's an audible click as the curtains cross over the joins, we've never had any issues with hem. We joined 3 together and they have been brilliant for over a year now.
Solution for dormer window with little ceiling heightAnonymous reviewerHad a dormer installed and was left with a 4cm height between tilt/turn in windows and ceiling, i needed a small rail window could open in & across and not hit the rail.
The ceiling fixings that come with the rail do not fit into ceiling neatly causing rail to drop 0.5cm down.
I retrofitted by drilling screw holes in rail, corner rail, and remaining shorter rail, where curtains would gather on side wall when drawn (picture a very tight box shaped bay window).
Also meant I could line up the corner brackets if I was out by millimetre's, and manipulate bottom track to align (bend metal).
I also had to trim the top of the plastic sliders so they didn’t snag the screw heads in the rail. Successfully installed and does the job.
The idea of these rails is good, but the designers have failed with how tricky it is to line up the rails for diy’ers using the connectors/extender pieces.
If you get the rails out of alignment even slightly they are difficult to use - beware!
Love it Anonymous reviewerVery easy to install instructions not as clear as I'd of liked didn't know or couldn't work out where all pieces went. But got it up and threw left over pieces in a bag.
Easy to slide curtainsAnonymous reviewerThis is great curtain track. The curtains slide open & closed really easily. The track is simple to install and the track joiners work well.
Curtain railAnonymous reviewerPurchased this (with the curtain) to fit inside French windows. Works really well.
Good Idea - terribly designed. Anonymous reviewerFitting the rails to the ceiling was very easy, but them when I went to link two tracks together end to end, the clip that should insert into the ends between them couldn't work. Firstly when it was locked in, it protruded too much above the rail - I had to cut off the top of the lever. Secondly, when I tried to slide the second rail into position the suposedly-locked link slid inside the first one - I had to hold it with the point of a screw until the two were almost together. (That sentence seems gibberish, but will make sense if you have to do this.)
Then we come to the hooks. As a strong and nimble-fingered person I struggled to clip the hooks to the sliders. I ended up removing the sliders from the rail to do this, and then had to put them back - carefully all the same way round. The hooks themselves seem very flimsy. Having put a lot of effort into installing the rail we decided to keep them, but will not be buying any more.
Vidga curtain railAnonymous reviewerThis is a very easy rail to install which only needs two screws.
Great rack on its own Anonymous reviewerRest curtain rack o. It’s own without any corners or joins.
Simple to installAnonymous reviewerThe curtain track was very simple to install and came with a range of fixing options so very straight forward to adapt for ceiling or wall attachment.
Easy to install and does exactly what it says on the tinAnonymous reviewerInstalled 4 and a half of the vigda curtain rails by myself to add sheer curtains for my living room, surprisingly very easy to install. Quite forgiving as I don’t think I can drill holes with 100% accuracy but somehow these aligned up perfectly. Although, I am a measure twice, and install once kind of girl. I spend the most time making sure my measurements are accurate before cutting or drilling. I also found it easy to cut the curtain rail with my tiny basic mitre saw. I fitted my sheer curtains (not from ikea) with the wave pleat so the only thing I was initially unsure of was how far away from my existing blinds do I place the curtain rail and settled that a 5cm gap from my blinds is sufficient. Super happy with the vigda tracks, they look good, do the job well, easy to install, reasonably priced.
Really easyAnonymous reviewerSo I hoped to use the brackets bought separately but found a steel beam I couldn’t drill in, so I used what look like insufficient tiny ceiling mounted clips…. They really hold it! I’ve hoping two lengths together and no visage seam or catching from little tabs. I have 3 sets of curtains on them - a thin all day type, a blackout curtain then the pretty curtains in front, easily holds all but they are lighter weight IKEA Curtains. Really easy to install as ceiling mounted
No use if joining them togetherAnonymous reviewerI expect this would be fine if the window is small enough to need only one single length. However, don't waste your money if you want to join sections together. The joining strips are badly fitting and the two tracks being joined aren't held snugly together. We combined 2 straights with some curved pieces. Waste of time and money. Curtains jam up at all the joins. Terribly designed product.
It's also very noisy.
Poor designAnonymous reviewerCurtains hook on nicely, yet fall out after you try to move the railing along. Very difficult to pull too as the gliders get stuck very frequently
