I just watched that video - that curtain set looks fantastic.

I might need to splurge on those...also need to decide on color...also - does anyone in the US carry these? The shipping is $80 from the UK

Just found this.

From this company: https://www.recmar.com/3108-plastic-curtain-track.html

Seems if the flange were cut off the track its self would measure about 3/8' square. It's flexible and so can be bent to the corners of the windows and comes in four colors including grey. They also have the slides and end stops. So all one would need then is to sew up some curtain material of their choice. This will be a serious amount less expensive than importing the system mentioned above.

looks like a good option - except I think I'd be futzing with figuring out ordering the correct pieces for a month - then getting the wrong ones...plus I'd need to sew up some curtains, get the snaps....etc. etc. Shipping from that place is around $45 - because the pieces are 8' long.

I don't think the price is unreasonable, nor the shipping cost, I was just hoping someone was distributing them in the US.

Kevin, come on over and we can fix up your curtains in no time. Measure the window lengths needed and order them a couple inches too long. My table saw will cut off the flange and get them to the right length. I have many sewing machines. The whole job including curtains of the fabric you really want is not more than a two day job. Even if you contract the sewing out, it won't be expensive.

Hello- If any of you have received and installed the new system from Heritage please review and post pics if possible. They are out of stock and it’s a new system so there are a lot of unknowns. Thanks for any information.
