- Measuring tape
- Pencil for marking
- Level
- Screwdriver
- Step ladder
- Top fixing curtain track kit
Pre-installation Preparation
Before beginning the installation, ensure you have all necessary tools and materials. Measure the window width and verify that your curtain track is appropriately sized. It's crucial to check for any obstructions in the ceiling where the brackets will be installed.
Installation Steps
Marking the Drill Holes
Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the locations on the ceiling where the brackets will be installed. Ensure marks are evenly spaced and use a level to align them properly to avoid a crooked installation.
Drilling the Holes
With the appropriate drill bit, carefully drill holes at the marked points on the ceiling. The holes should be drilled to 5mm depth to accommodate standard wall plugs.
Attaching the Brackets
Insert wall plugs into the drilled holes. Position the bracket over the holes, then use a screwdriver to securely fix the screws through the bracket into the plugs. Ensure the bracket is firmly attached, applying a torque of 4Nm to avoid over-tightening.
Mounting the Track
Align the curtain track with the installed brackets and secure it in place following the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure a snug fit to prevent the track from swaying or becoming dislodged.
