Curtain installation requirements

When installing curtains, you must adhere to the rules:

1. Dowels (screws) are selected according to the wall material.

2. Before fixing, you need to make sure that the curtain does not interfere with the operation of the window - it will be easy to open (close). The recommended distance from the curtain to the window is at least five to seven centimeters.
3. For partitions lined with a plasterboard, it is recommended to prepare screws of greater length. Performing drilling, you need to get to the brick to improve the reliability of the structure.
4. Polyurethane dowels are used for reliable fixation of the strip.
5. If the wall is with a loose structure, you will need a large diameter wooden plugs, where recesses for dowels are made.
6. The screws are securely fixed in a thin, loose partition when pouring a hole in epoxy.
7. So that the curtains do not touch the radiator, they are hung at a distance of more than 10 cm.

   Removal of the eaves from the wall is determined by taking into account the protruding part of the window sill (or radiator) and the depth of the folds of the curtains

The reliability of the installation of curtains depends on:

• material manufacturing cornice;
• design configurations;
• installation sites;
• surface finish where the curtains are attached.

Before you begin installation of a structure, you must pay attention to the following factors:

1. The strength of the material (wood, string, plastic, metal). Eaves must withstand the weight of the curtains, respectively, they are matched to the weight of textiles.

   For example, string cornices are designed for mounting only light curtains.

2. Fixation method to the wall. Take into account the total weight of the structure with curtains, as well as the material of the partition. Fastening is of 3 types: through the through holes in the plank to the wall, on the supports and on the brackets.
3. The size of the strap. It should protrude beyond the side borders of the window opening.
4. The number of tiers. The selection of a single row, double row or three row system depends on this. This factor affects the width of the structure.

5. Eaves are hung up after completion of repair.

The effect of weight and curtain design on proper installation

The weight and design of the curtains affect the installation of the device, so they must be considered when choosing curtain rails and curtains.

Professionals advise:

• If the wall is made of fragile material, then the curtains are selected from a simple, lightweight textile.
• The supporting parts of the device will effectively fix the dowel with a cross section of 8 millimeters and screws.
• If the system is more than two meters, it is amplified by auxiliary brackets, placing them in view of the same load on the device.
• Proper installation of the eaves system must withstand heavy blinds.
• For fastenings on a plasterboard wall it is recommended to use a dowel butterfly, which “spreads its wings” in the hole and is securely fixed.
