Step-by-step installation instructions for curtain rod for curtains

To begin with, it is worth mentioning that there are several types of cornices: metal, plastic, wooden and string. By the method of fastening - wall and ceiling. The most popular and affordable of them are double-row metal cornices. They are sold in all hardware stores. Relative to them, and will be written further instructions.

After buying the eaves, you need to unpack it. With the help of a sharp object, we release it from the package, and also separate a few small packages with hooks, clips, additional decorative elements, rings and fasteners from it.

Next, lay the cornice in front of the window along the wall. To install it successfully, you need to be attentive to all the little things.

We put on it all the decorative elements and brackets. In this form, we try the construction to the place where its installation is planned. When choosing a location, the following points must be taken into account: the cornice should not be fixed against the wall, but also where the joints of the bevelled corners are located.

If necessary, cut the cornice tube to the correct size so that it perfectly fits the length. Once again try on the location of further installation. Then we begin the preliminary assembly.

For this, put the bracket on the pipe and fix it with small self-tapping screws. Screws need to be screwed invisibly, that is, that their caps remain at the top of the bracket, and when installing the eaves, they look at the ceiling. Then we take the rings and put them on the pipe. Then fix the middle bracket( if it is provided by the design) as well as the first one.

Then again put on the right number of rings. And at the end we fix the third bracket. When fixing all the holders on the pipe, check that the pipe seam is pointing towards the window. If he remains below or in the frontal part, he will be noticed. At the end of the level, we look at the parallelism of all the fixed brackets relative to each other. If the parallelism is broken, adjust the brackets to the desired position.

The next step is the markup. Mark the place of installation of the cornice. It must be symmetrical to the window and wall, and is at an equidistant distance from the ceiling and slopes of the window. We mark with pencil the places in which it will be necessary to drill the holes for the base of the fasteners. Once again we check everything.

Next, drill the holes for the dowels in the marked places. Then we slam into them the dowels. When drilling, some problems may arise, namely: getting into the armature( in this case we take a drill bit in the metal and drill the armature) or get into an empty space.

Then, using screws, fix the fasteners to the wall.

Attach the bracket to the bracket, and then tighten it with a hexagon.

We continue the installation of the cornice with our own hands and we approach the most important thing - to the direct installation of the cornice on the fasteners. Take the cornice and bring it to the fixing base, then tighten the fasteners hexagon. This completes the installation.
