curtain rods installation
Before you hang the curtains or drapes that will adorn your rooms, be
sure that you have correctly installed the rods and brackets that will
hold your window coverings.
The first thing you should do is to determine whether you want to mount
your curtain rods on the window casing or on the wall. If you are not
attaching the brackets to wood casing, you will need hollow wall
anchors.
You will then want to hold the rod up to the wall or casing to determine
the proper positioning. Use a carpenter’s level to make sure the rod is
straight.
Depending o your preference, you will want to place the brackets three
to six inches beyond the edge of the window. Use a pencil to mark the
placement of the brackets on the wall.
You should also indicate the position of the bracket holes on the wall
or window casing using a pencil.
You will next need to drill pilot holes, shallow holes that will help
you start the screws or anchors, into the pencil marks you made on the
wall or casing.
The manufacturer will usually provide the screws and anchors needed.
Insert the screws through the bracket and into the wall.
Place the curtain rod into the brackets.
You may want to consider installing a center bracket if the rod is
longer than 48 inches. A center bracket will help support the additional
weight of the curtains.
Also, be sure to use wall fasteners that will
support the weight of your rod and curtains.
