Curtain-rail and track installation — Sunshade specialist
Describe the curtains, opening shape and whether the support is wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted or recessed. Include photographs of the intended fixing surface and any bay or corner layout so the installer can assess track geometry, clearance and the support needed for the finished curtains.
Service scope
Selection and fitting of curtain support rails or tracks matched to the curtain arrangement, opening geometry and supporting surface. Straight, curved and powered systems have different requirements; curtain manufacture, decorative poles and electrical connections should be specified rather than assumed within rail fitting.
What is normally included
- Track layout and support assessment
- Compatible fittings and carriers
- Operation and clearance checks
What is not included
- Curtain fabric or sewing by default
- Assumed suitability of existing fixings for heavier curtains
Typical tasks
- Review curtain and opening dimensions
- Identify mounting surfaces
- Plan rail or track geometry
- Fit compatible supports and carriers
- Check curtain travel and clearances
What to include in your brief
- Opening layout and measurements
- Curtain type and approximate weight
- Wall or ceiling construction
- Desired rail arrangement
- Access and any powered-operation requirement
Choosing the right professional
Ask whether the proposed rail suits the curtains and the fixing surface, especially for ceiling-mounted or shaped installations. Confirm what is included in measuring, bending or joining the track and whether curtains, decorative finishing or motorised controls are separate supplies.
Important considerations
- Weak supports may not carry the intended curtain load
- Unchecked corners or obstructions can prevent smooth travel
