Ikea Vidga ceiling track install -smooth glide curtains. 

...and, I should have said, this is the most useful video for installing Vidga ceiling track I've found! thank you

thank you for showing the 'buckrum'. I call that an eye hook, so it was nice to be able to see what you were talking about, as far as where you were hooking the return. EXCELLENT way to solve the creeping light issue when you are installing blackout curtains.

Thank you ! Two hooks on one carrier to keep pleats was just what I was looking for ! New sub! Thanks!👍👍👍👍👍

SUCH a great tutorial. I wasn't sure if I'd need a second pair of hands installing this. Now I know I can do it all on my own!

nobody have ever shown videos like this love the simplicity and detail description. thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤

This video wa so informative! I got wall brackets thinking I didn't want to tackle the ceiling, but now am going to get the ceiling mounts because you proved how easy it is. Thank you so much. Great content! 😊

Wow, thanks for discovering this neat curtain track from IKEA. Very practical video. Thanks, Mimzy!

Thank you!!!!! SOOOOO MUCH. Your literally the only person that really showed how to do it and so detailed! Thank u again!

Yep, doing this sometime this week. Such a clear demonstration with a lot of great tips. I've been putting this off for years and even considered having it done professionally, but feel totally confident now. Thank you!! 👏🏿👏🏿

This was super helpful. Just finished hanging my curtains!

Thank you for a great tutorial! So nice to see it done and explained in words instead of pictures. 😂

Thank you for sharing, Ikea should pay you a commission for helping their clients! your video is way more informative than ikea videos or any other video I found for Vidga ceiling track installations. Thank you!

I love these!!! They look great!

You are amazing! The hook added on both end is super smart idea!

I just installed my vidga triple rack and I am so glad I am watching your vid now. I was trying to find a way to keep the pleats and wrap around each ends. Thanks 😊

Super helpful! Thank you for this video

Thank you!!! I’m going to put mine up today. I was lost with the ikea instructions lol

I must say, this is the best howto video on #vidga

wow I'm so happy I came across this video! Thanks

Wow what an informative video!! You are amazing!! Thank you!

Best video to install vidga seen!😊

This was so helpful. Thank you!!!

You honestly have the best content! I hope you’ll consider a video to just explain your philosophy, which seems to be that some vigilance and a little DIY can provide the house of your dreams. Like the Hemnes bed, for example. Looks AMAZING and you used stuff you had, plus very little investment. I adore your home, it’s beautiful.

Great video. Thank you

I should add this is a very helpful video. I love IKEAS engineering, but there cartoon instructions not so much. I appreciated the hints about how to wrap the corners at the end. And more. However I couldn.t finish the job, when I realized the curtains were not as wide as I thought and those 2 inches per panel made a big difference. Did I mention I used to teach math? haha. So I ordered another set and paid shipping since it takes about 90 minutes to get to any of the three IKEAs that are closest. I was promised next day delivery, which was surprising since the next day was Sunday AND memorial day week end. Now (Tuesday) IKEA wants me to rate my purchase, which I still do not have. LOL But I WILL hem them all, I hope. Another point is that I hung two sets in the living room and two sets (when I get the second pair) in the dining room which means 4 sets to sew. Ugh

Excellent video. Thank you so much!

What amazing ideas you came up with! The 2nd hook and wrap around the track and also the putting two hooks into the eyelet to maintain the pleated look..genius!!

great tip with the wall eyehook!

Great video!

How can you be sure youre not gonna drill into pipes or electrical wire?

Thank you for posting this! Did the return to the wall hooks that make the curtains stay put when opening/closing come with the glider? If not, can you provide a link to where you got yours?

so helpful!!!!!

Thank you very helpful!

Thank you so much for this video. Do you think these rails could hold heavier drapes/curtains? I have velvet curtains from Amazon that I’m thinking about installing this way.

LOVE THIS! It appears the VIDGA double track set is only wall mounted. Do you know if if the bracket for the double can be affixed to the ceiling? Or just follow your video x 2? Not doing sheers right away, but likely will add.

Where can I get those curtains with hooks ? I want to do same. The links took me to the fabric

Great video, so clear and well explained! It would look higher end if you put the ceiling track from one end of the wall to the other instead of stopping it around the patio doors. And add more curtains to fill the gap on the walls. Just a suggestion😀

Hi, do you think this track could be bent to accommodate a 2/3 bay window? Thanks and thanks for the great tips in this video :-)

Love this video! Did the carrier come included or did you purchase separately?

Hi! This is so helpful. Quick question - did you use the carriers that came with the Vidga curtain or are they linked in your bio? I just want to make sure I follow these instructions exactly. Thanks!

Thank you for this very thorough installation video! How much weight will the IKEA Vidga single track hold? I have blackout curtains and would hate for the rack to fall out my ceiling. Thanks!

Omg! I love you!

Hi, great video, where did you get the piece to connect the two tracks? Or what are they called? I can’t seem to find it.

Great video! Thank you. Did the connector piece come with your rails? Or did you purchase separately?

How far away from the wall did you install the back edge of the track? Thank for the help!

This is great! Does the connector come with the rail? I am located in Toronto and could not find this online. Thanks!

Do the carriers have wheels, or only gliders? Seems that newer vidga carriers don't have wheels anymore.

Is there a way to hang regular store bought panels or do you need to add something special to the back/buy a certain kind?

Hey , can someone tell me if the joiner comes in the set or have to order this separately ? Thank you

Do the screws have to be attached to ceiling joists? Or just the drywall?

Thanks dear ! I have a question maybe will sounds stupid , so my apt have already the ceiling tracks. My question 🙋‍♀️ How I buy the curtains , they come already with the little things too hang ? My apt have to one for the transparent curtains and on there for the other . I am very confused. Thanks for your advice.

How many of the tracks did you use for your space? I know they come in 55" lengths and I need 130" total. I'm wondering how the cutting process is.

Glad to find this video, but I am still worried that if I can just drill anywhere in the ceiling without knowing where the backing is

Can you add the wands on each side so you don’t have to open them with your hands but the wands instead? How /where do you attach them ? Thanks !

Thank you

How far from the wall did you install the tracks? Also the return to the wall with the eye hook...genius!!!😮

How far off the wall did you measure & mount for curtain clearance?

Thankyou.

I didn't hear you mention anything about trying to find studs to screw into for the track screws. Is that not mentioned in the directions?

Does the joiner come with the track or is that a seperate piece, thank you for your video! I will be buying this for my new home! 😇🙏🏻

I don’t have a stud available on the ceiling of where I want to hang. Do you think it would be OK with strong anchors and fairly light curtains? Thanks for the video!

so your going in to the Blaster board ? how about the weight on the Board its self ?

Great video! Can you cut the tracks so they’re smaller?

Just curious. You had so much fabric in the width of the drapes, why didn't you install the track from wall to wall? It would have covered the black box that was installed when you weren't home😄and added a little drama!

I have never, and I mean NEVER, been able to utilize those plastic anchors. They ALWAYS pull out. I may be trying to hang thungs that are too heavy for that, but? Help? Oh! Could it be that I AM screwing the screw in too tightly and, what, stripping the hold of the plastic anchor??

Thanks 👍

Smart lady.

What if you want the drapes at the top to hide the rail?

Hi , just wanted to ask what screw size did you use?

Thank you for the tutorial on this. I wish we can use this system in our bedroom. I don’t think it will look good with moldings

Can you list in the description the type of carriers you purchased? :)

Question. When I use two vidga rails what do I do to make the curtain pull seamless where I can pull to the far left or right? Are the two rails continuous?

From where do you get the curtains?

Does IKEA have the drapes that accompany the ceiling mounted track? I'd like to be able to buy and install both together. Thank you!

is the connector included in the track order?

Does anyone have experience drilling into the ceiling of an old art deco building for these? I got some heavy duty anchors because I’m quite confident it’s plaster/concrete. Has anyone had experience with installing these are those materials?

How far apart from the wall is the track?

Can this be installed on plasterboard ceiling?

I have to laugh. I hung some IKEA curtains maybe 15 years ago over a 12 ft window. I loved them even though they drug on the floor (not a design decision) and were four panels. They were in a very sunny window and faded before I sewed them together. So I replaced them with a new set of 4 panels. Let's see if I get around to hemming and sewing them together.!

Hi Whats the recommended type of screw and its size?

may i know what are those drapes? 🔥

Do you have a video on how you created the pleats with those hooks? Thank you!

has anyone tried to install a ceiling track on a stippled ceiling?

ازبن على الله ❤

Where to buy ?

Why don’t you have the link to the product you used? Why did you install the 🇸🇪 ikea product and not the Amazon one? 🧄🧅 I’m installing the products where they should be. Thanks for the carrier information. ❄️☃️
