How to install curtains

The brackets fix to the wall at the height you measured from, usually about 150 mm above the frame.

1. 1

   Join the track

   Tracks over 2300 mm arrive in sections with a joiner. Push each piece onto the joiner until it clicks.

2. 2

   Space and fix the brackets

   Fix the end brackets about 150 mm in from each end of the track, and the rest evenly spaced 700–750 mm apart, all level along the wall. Screw through the centre of the slots so you can still adjust the height.

   TipScrew into a stud or batten where you can, and use plasterboard anchors elsewhere. Brick or masonry: drill 35 mm deep with a 6 mm masonry bit and use 8-gauge (6 mm) wall plugs.

   SafetyCheck for wiring and pipes before you drill, and wear eye protection when drilling masonry or tile.

3. 3

   Clip the track in

   Clip the track into the brackets and fit the bracket caps. Hook the wand onto the lead runner (for pinch pleat, the second runner).

4. 4

   Hang the curtain

   Hook the curtain onto the runners. For S Wave, every hook sits on its own runner, so the counts should match. A second person makes this much easier.

5. 5

   Dress the folds

   Open the curtain, set each fold by hand, and leave it stacked for a few days so the folds settle.
