I was going to suggest the Kvadrant system from Ikea but searching the
latest site results in 'no hits'. Turns out it is still there but the parts have
been renamed Kvartal, search for that & guess what, 'no hits'. If you can
face the hassle you may find what you need by navigating from 'Products
A-Z' to that range. I've used them for a couple of big windows and room
divisions & they look fine.

Things to watch out for:
Costs creeping up from needing lots of relatively lower cost items.
Material curling in on long drops.
Drawing may be difficult with lighter materials & high ceilings, they have
drawing rods but they're meant for 'normal' ceiling heights.
Runners (single & 3track) are in shortish 1.4m lengths & transitions over
joins are noticeable on drawing.

Fred,
Many thanks for the pointer. I looked all over and there it is in Ikea!
Very interesting points that you make... 1.4M hmm that's a bit short!
I'll investigate some more.
Many thanks,
Roy

I bumped into the IkeaPlus site - got all excited that
they were now selling/delivering on the web. Then
found that IkeaPlus is no longer operational but got
redirected to http://www.timedelivery.co.uk/...
"Now delivering across the UK" - then I looked at
the prices...

They charge a Service Charge and a Delivery charge.
Service charge between 17.5% and 20%
Delivery based on Value of goods and area -
between £40 and £105....

If I understand their web site correctly, goods to the
value of £3000 would end up costing £3705 if you
lived in Zone D - wherever that is...

I know Ikea prices are pretty competitive but it seems
a bit steep to me !

The message
from "RzB" contains these words:

To which the answer would be "Take a running jump", I presume.
