Whether it is the decoration of the bedroom or the living room, it is inseparable from the decoration of curtains. Customized curtains are also the choice of many owners. As a custom curtain, a necessary device is the curtain track. So. What is the installation method of the curtain track? How to choose the height of the curtain track? The following editor will give you a detailed introduction.

01-Installation height of curtain track

1. Window installation measurement method: Install ordinary tracks: Just add 20 cm on each side based on the net size of the window, so that when your curtains are opened, they will not block the lighting of the window.

Install decorative curtain rods: You need to leave 25-30 cm on each side of the net size of the window. Generally, decorative rods have 5-10 cm decorative heads, so that the installed decorative rods will look good.

2. Measurement method for installing curtains on the entire wall: If you like to install curtains on the entire wall, after measuring the actual net width of the wall, the ordinary track should be reduced by 2 cm on both sides of the net size. This will facilitate installation and future track maintenance.

For decorative curtain rods, the net size of the wall should be reduced by 10 cm on each side to allow adequate space between the decorative head and the side wall, making it more beautiful.

3. Measurement method for curved windows and balconies: Generally, curved windows and balconies are installed with randomly curved tracks. When measuring, just use a soft tape measure to measure the actual size along the curvature of the window or balcony, and then determine the actual length of the track according to the actual installation needs of the curtains.

4. Installation measurement method for L-shaped and three-sided bay windows: L-shaped windows and bay windows (bay windows) both need to install free curved tracks. The measurement of the curved tracks is actually very convenient. Just add up the straight dimensions of the sides where curtains need to be installed, which is the length of the curved track you need. When measuring, do not measure according to your imagined curvature, just measure completely along a straight line.

02-Curtain track installation method

1. Curtain track positioning

The accuracy of line drawing and positioning is related to the success or failure of curtain installation. First, measure the fixed hole spacing and the size of the required installation track.

2. Install curtain tracks

(1) Curtain rails are available in single, double or triple rails. When the window width is greater than 1200mm, the curtain rail should be disconnected, and the bends at the disconnection points should be staggered. The bends should be gentle curves, and the overlap length should not be less than 200mm. For open curtain boxes, the rails are usually installed first. Heavy curtain rails should be screwed with machine screws; concealed curtain boxes should be installed with rails later. The small corners of heavy curtain rails should be spaced more closely, and the specification of wood screws should not be less than 30mm.

(2) Install the lifting clip, rotate the clip 90 degrees to connect it with the track, and install the lifting clip on the top plate with self-tapping screws. If it is a concrete structure, expansion screws are required.

3. Install curtain rods

(1) Adjust the connection fixtures, install the rod or wire, and pull it onto the fixtures. Make sure it is flat and straight and consistent with the room elevation.

(2) Install standard curtain track (double track), the base width should generally be more than 15CM, and the single track can be reduced according to appropriate circumstances.

4. Adjust the position

For floor-length curtains or curtains that hang over the countertop, the width of the windowsill should be left when installing the curtain track to avoid obstruction and an unsightly appearance when the curtains are hanging down.

5. Pay attention to the wall where the sticker is applied

It must not be hollow, otherwise the veneer will easily crack when drilling.
