To install the ledge, you can call the wizard, which will have all the necessary tools and details, but if you have everything you need at your fingertips, you can try to organize this process yourself. Installation takes no more than two hours, so the work will not become burdensome. So, how to hang a curtain rod for the curtains on the wall? Read about it below.
Required Tools
For the installation you will need certain tools, namely:
- screwdriver;
- ruler;
- roulette;
- drill;
- marker / pencil (for marking on the wall);
- fastening: screws, dowels, brackets.
In case you decide to change the old model to a new one, then you will need a putty to cover the holes left from the past cornice. For the new cornice, it will be necessary to drill other holes in order to avoid the dropping of bolts from the loosened holes.
Order of work
Installation is carried out in strict sequence:
- Marking. On the wall, you need to designate points that will be your guide when drilling walls. To do this, you need to find the center of the window and mark out equal holes to the areas on which the brackets will be fixed. In doing so, remember that the brackets should be located at a distance of 30-40 cm from the edge of the window opening, otherwise in the open state the curtains will close the view. The distance to the ceiling should be about 5-20 cm, depending on the type of curtains.
- Drilling of walls. When the layout is done, you can mount the cornice to the wall. In the marked places drill holes and hammer in them dowels. In houses with a brick base, instead of plastic dowels, it is better to use pine plugs. In this case, the self-tapping screws are screwed into the pre-installed cork base.
- Eaves installation. On the installed dowels, the bracket is hung, on which the eaves are fixed. He hangs up with the hooks already in place for the curtains. After that, you need to install it in a level position using the tools that come with the kit.
- Stretch ceiling. If the room uses a stretch ceiling , then the cornice should be installed before attaching the PVC film. For this, special wooden fences are used, which are mounted under the film. If one option is the use of a hidden cornice. With this method, the cornice is fixed on the main ceiling, the tension film is attached to the stand.
