Introduction

Installing a Long Curtain Track properly is crucial for ensuring its stability and functionality. This article provides a detailed guide on the best practices for executing a successful installation, along with specific solutions offered by ADD Window Company.

Tools and Materials Required

• Drill and appropriate drill bits
• Spirit level
• Measuring tape
• Wall anchors (if necessary)
• Screws and screwdriver
• Long curtain track
• Brackets and support pieces
• Safety goggles

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Measure the Window Width:

   Use a measuring tape to determine the exact width of the window, ensuring an additional 5-10 inches on either side for overlap.

2. Mark the Drill Points:

   Utilize a pencil to mark where the brackets will be installed, ensuring they are evenly spaced and level.

3. Drill Bracket Holes:

   With safety goggles on, drill holes at the marked positions using the appropriate drill bit for your wall type.

4. Install Wall Anchors:

   Secure wall anchors into the drilled holes if the wall material is not solid wood. This step is vital for drywall or plaster walls.

5. Attach Brackets:

   Using screws, attach the brackets securely to the wall, ensuring they align perfectly with the spirit level.

6. Fix the Curtain Track:

   Align the curtain track with the brackets and fix it using the support pieces provided in the curtain track kit.

7. Check Stability:

   Ensure the track is securely fastened and test by applying gentle pressure to confirm stability.

Considerations for Optimal Installation

• Ensure wall stability by using appropriate support and anchors.
• Spacing for brackets should be within 12 to 18 inches for optimal support, especially for tracks longer than 72 inches.
• Utilize additional brackets for every 2 feet of track beyond the initial 6 feet to prevent sagging.
