Thank you so much for this! I was pulling my hair out trying to come up with an option to hang a sheer curtain around the bed in my studio and the hospital curtain track worked perfectly. As suggested, I checked out Medical Products Direct but ended up going with a company called Hospital Curtain Solutions (http://www.hospitalcurtainsolutions.com), only because they offer track with a white painted finish that matches my ceiling better. My super hung it for me in about 20 minutes and I couldn’t be happier. Great idea!

I did something similar in my closets, also cheap, with our old reliable Ikea. I took the 2 sliding doors off the track (they were always falling off anyway, very annoying, and I could never see the whole closet at once between the doors telescoped behind one another) and I installed right on the wood molding a 48-inch steel kitchen rod purchased at ikea (the kind you hang your ladles off, in the kitchen section). On that I hung a cheap canvas curtain, also Ikea (with a pocket, not tabs or hooks), and zip, all done. I think the whole thing cost $30 for 2 4′ wide closets.

i’ve been thinking about using a hospital track to expand an unused space in our bedroom as additional closet space, but i would need to mount it on the ceiling – was it any trouble to install? yous looks terrific!

That is just what I am looking for! I want to take down the closet doors in my daughter’s room and hang curtains. The person who designed her closet placed the drawer unit between two of the doors so that she can never open her drawers all the way. This is perfect! Thanks.
