HELP AND ADVICE How to install a Sheer Curtain – Wall Mounts
Step 1 – Adjust your brackets
You will have received either Standard Brackets or Extension brackets with your wall mounted tracks. You have up to 50mm clearance with the standard bracket and up to 90mm clearance with the extension bracket. Adjust the brackets to the correct position to ensure you can come over the top of an architrave, roller blind or plantation shutter and clear any obstructions that may stop the curtain from hanging freely. Make sure all of your brackets are adjusted to the exact same position.
Step 2 – Find the timber studs
There will be a number of timber studs that run through your wall. Using a stud finder, locate as many of these as possible to fit your brackets into.
Mounting into Plaster
If you need to mount any of your brackets into plaster, use a Hollow Wall Anchor tool for a secure finish. How to use a Hollow Wall Anchor is featured in the ” How to Install – Ceiling mount video”
Step 3 – Fix the brackets to the wall
Fix the brackets across the wall where the track is to be placed. Ensure the brackets are spaced evenly. Use a string line to ensure all of your brackets are level across the top and nice and straight.
Consider the stack end and add another bracket here as this is where the full weight of the curtain will be when in the open position.
Step 4 – Present your track to the brackets
Ensure all your bracket cams are in the open position. Present your track to the brackets, and lock the cam in place.
Your track is now fully installed and you are ready to hang your curtain.
