Hi folks, I recently moved into an apartment in a block which was built in 2013/4, in marked contrast to my previous house which was cobbled together in the 1900's - my, how things have changed! I got very used to dealing with the brick-built construction and was happy that shelves I put up, would stay up...
I'm about to fix Ikea's Vidga curtain track to the ceiling of my new flat and I'm completely confused by the huuuuge range of screws and fixings offered by ScrewFix / ToolStation etc. As far as I can tell, there is a gap above the plasterboard ceiling, followed by the concrete of the structure, so I imagine that I need a suitable long-ish screw / plug combo, so that the fixing extends through to the concrete in order to be weight bearing... Exactly which screw fix product do I select, bearing in mind the relatively light weight of the curtain track and curtains?
