I am in the lower level room of a duplex, and there is a cathedral ceiling above me, broken in half by the banister/split level. Its about 10 or 11 feet across, and 10 feet high. I just want a simple track to put a curtain up that is heavy velvet (like a stage curtain). So, there is no window involved.
well it sounds like you have the curtain part taken care of. as for the track i suggest getting a long piece of wooden or metal curtain rod, or piece of rigid metal electrical conduit. many hardware stores will cut this to length for you. now to suspend it i would hang wire or chain down from the ceiling (use eye hooks and be sure that they are anchored into wood behind the wall material) and attach to your rod threw holes drilled in each end of it. i hope this helps out good luck, this is an excellent idea.
i exploit an increasing rod. you place it in place and then twist one end to strengthen it and actually wedge it into place. it works nice, does not fall out or something. No holes to drill, and so on. The well-being club the place I artwork out additionally makes use of one in all those rod. If the stress rod won't artwork, there are different recommendations. One could be to apply adhesive. you should attempt to discover an epoxy that clings to glass and tile. The glue that carry the rear view reflect to the windshield on your motor vehicle could artwork. yet another technique could be to drill the tile and glass and bolt the rod in place that way. it would take some care, yet the two the tile and glass could be drilled with carbide bits. yet differently could be to droop the rod on hangers from the ceiling, autonomous of the partitions. i don't be conscious of if this might seem perfect in you tub.
I would buy a long piece of velvet from a fabric store so that the measurements are exactly what you want, then string a very thick gauge wire across the area, and use clips or rings with clips like this.. .curtain-rod-drapery-hardwar... I like the combo of the industrial look of wire with the elegance and heavieness of the velvet. Also, if you need to move it, it will slide very easily across the wire.
You will probably have a hard time finding a curtain off the shelf that is that long, so I would recommend buying a bolt of fabric. Velvet is really expensive ($20 - $50 a yard), so consider going with a faux suede. As far as how to hang them, Ikea makes a wire system that works really well, and it's similar to a system that designers use. You can attach it to the ceiling or to a wall. It works on tension, so after you install it, you use a hex wrench or screw driver to tighten up the wire so it will hold the weight of the fabric without sagging. It comes with over 16' of wire, but you can cut it to fit the length of the space you need it for. The online catalog says it holds up to 11 pounds, so make sure your fabric doesn't weigh any more than that. If it does, consider getting 2 and installing them so they overlap slightly. They also sell those clips attached to a ring. If you buy these too, you can clip the fabric rather than hanging it over the wire, or having to sew a pocket to run the wire through. It will leave more of a gap at the top, but it will also allow the flexibility of being able to draw the curtains back or to one side if you want to open it up to the space below. It says it's not available on line, so you'll have to go to Ikea to get it. If there isn't an Ikea close to you, do a search for the closest store, then call and ask if they will ship it to you from the store. I've never tried this, but it's worth a shot.
