Before you hang a curtain rod curtain wall, it is necessary to precisely mark the surface and take into account all relevant sizes. For each species, the cornice has its own method of installation, failure of which may result in damage to the wall or window textiles. Later in the article describes in detail how to hang the curtain on all the rules and regulations.

What are the cornices?

In general, the window ledge is divided according to the place of its fastening. So distinguished:

• wall;
  

  Round wall ledge with chrome elements

• spacer;
  

  The original form of eaves - spacer model, the construction of which is a telescopic rod which is adjustable in length

• ceiling;
  

  Ceiling cornices visually expands the space and is the interior decoration

• window.
  

  Mini eaves or window ledge is attached directly to the window frame and is used for home decoration

Spacer type, in fact, is a kind of wall. On weight it is kept thanks to a telescopic tube having a spacer structure. One tube diameter is located inside the other. The presence dovodok as springs, as well as thread allows mounting a cornice, no drilling required. The only drawback of this system is a small load. On this curtain can hang just one or two of tulle.

Window view of curtains intended for small curtains, which are located directly on the window frame. A popular variation of this design is the cornice "cafe".

The most common type is the wall curtains. Their use allows to correctly distribute the distances between the hooks on the curtains, harmoniously complement the interior design, as well as the economical use of space of the room.

What are Wall cornices?

1. Single row.
   

   Single row cornice may be of any length and may be made therefrom several lines to curtains

2. Double row.

The number of rows depends on the number of separate hanging tyuley, porters, and the presence of pelmet.

By their construction profile, direct and design the strings. Material varied - it may be as an inexpensive plastic, and expensive kind of wood, as well as forged metal.

Sectional structures have one guide rail, which is fastened to the ceiling by means of dowel-nails. If the installation of the suspension is planned for the wall, then the optional mounting brackets. As a decorative ornament of this type of hangers for window textiles, used plastic molding. It performs two functions:

• decorative directly (since it complements the overall style of the interior);
• hides not a very nice bus from the eyes of an outsider.

Direct curtains can be made as circular and rectangular tubes. It all depends on the design of the room in which the product is purchased.

As a material commonly used wood and metal. Specialized products most often produced from PVC plastic (polyvinyl chloride). But there are also aluminum rails. Here the choice depends on the severity of accessories for curtains and textiles of the window. Accordingly, the heavier curtains you hang up, the curtain rail must be stronger (i.e. aluminum for heavy textiles).

In addition to the ordinary, direct hangers for curtains, produce curved products. For modern apartment architecture such structures are indispensable. Curved suspensions useful for bay windows and rooms, with non-standard layout of the walls.

How to Hang a curtain rod curtain wall?

At first glance, the question of how to fix the curtain to the wall, there is no difficulty. What could be easier: Drill the wall and everything. But in reality the situation is much more difficult. It is necessary to take into account the geometry of the room, which is often far from ideal. Also plays an important role of manufacturing the surface material, which is planned to mount and side lights, which go out the window.

So to summarize. What influences the suspension installation process?

1. Room dimensions and geometrical parameters.
2. Type cornice.
3. manufacturing attachment surface material.
4. Type window Textiles, weight and quantity.
5. Side light fronted room window.
6. The presence of the sill and the value of its projection relative to the window.
7. Presence of a radiator.

The first step is to determine the gap between the most extreme tulle and window openings. Here, attention is drawn to the most extended surface. Usually it is the window-sill, or heating the battery. When repairing the room, performed in compliance with all building regulations and requirements, the width sill must be greater than the edge of an open window and radiator heating is set exactly at escarpment. Therefore, the indentation is performed on a window sill.

Not all apartments geometry box is made according to GOST. Especially, modern construction in our country due to the European trends. From there take the start and building codes, which are clearly different from those of our country. Therefore, in determining the gap between the most extreme (usually tulle) and the curtain of the window, just consider these three distances:

• on the windowsill;
• battery;
• from the open window.

The minimum value of the gap is equal to 7-10 cm.

In the next step it is necessary to pay attention to the geometry of the walls and ceiling. Curtain crossbar must be positioned exactly parallel to the ceiling junction with a window. With this arrangement, the visual quality of the premises will be properly adhered to.

To do this from the ceiling back down the same distance to each bracket and make a mark for the holes.

The height of the indentation depends on the brightness in the room. If the bedroom windows face south, the afternoon will be a lot of sun: in this case, better to hang a curtain almost to the ceiling (indent 5 cm is enough). At the northern location of premises indentation can be increased up to 15 centimeters.

Assembling the curtains before installing

Before hanging cornices on the wall, it must be fully assembled on the floor. The most common design is the direct suspension, consisting of:

• metal guide (kick);
• brackets;
• rings or pegs for fixing the curtain;
• plugs;
• decorative skirts;
• fasteners.

Rings and pegs may be missing. Instead, each curtains tulle swags, or loops are sewn, through which passes a beam.

First, on the crossbar wear ring (if present). Then fasten the brackets. the latter depends on the location of the manufacturer of the product. Some companies provide compatible slots in the brackets and crossbars that allows you to easily fasten the two elements. Others models are fixed in an arbitrary place. In both cases, the hardware is carried out on special bolts.

After installing the bracket proceed to the installation of decorative caps and suspension components. Most often, the scenery made in the form of forging metal and wood carving. For ease of installation combined with their plugs.

After fixing plugs, as well as marking the walls, you can start drilling holes for the suspension fixture.

How to fix the bracket to the wall?

The order of attachment to the wall (as well as the ceiling) in all cases is similar. The only difference is the choice of fasteners, which in turn depends on the wall material.

Here the material from which the wall can be performed.

1. Brick.
2. Cinder blocks.
3. Gas silicate blocks.
4. Concrete slabs.
5. Wooden beams.
6. Plasterboard lining.
7. The layer of plaster.

The last two points, of course, can not be present in the apartment as a separate material for walls. But as a finishing layer - easily. When mounting the suspension for textile window on the wall a better basis for fixing - wood, concrete or its derivatives. In the presence of drywall or plaster layer impressive, inexperienced layman have puzzled.

For securing the bracket to a brick or concrete base suitable for ordinary plug-Nails. The diameter of the fixture, as well as its number is selected on the basis of the weight of products and textiles on it. Accordingly, the higher the weight, the larger the diameter of the dowels have to buy. For "the most severe cases" may even need the anchor bolts. They are made of metal, however carry high loads.

But for the ordinary gypsum board plugs do not fit. Here you have to buy a special drop-down fasteners. Dowel Butterfly is perfect. Due to the increased fixation plane giposkarton not deformed under great stress. But for heavy objects still have to use the same anchor. In this case, the order of execution of works is as follows:

• plasterboard sheet drilled drill wood or metal to the base wall;
• after complete passage plasterboard wall drill main drill for stone or concrete, the magnitude of the anchor;
• the whole construction is fixed through the bracket into the metal dowel.

Be sure to keep in mind that the concrete wall anchors must go to every possible length. With this method of construction is high reliability.

The worst case is the presence of a thick layer of old plaster, which is everything else and pours from the touch of a finger. In such a wall to fix anything very difficult, not to mention the heavy drapes. Here you have two options.

1. Use the anchor in the base of the wall.
2. To strengthen the plaster layer with special structures.

If you are going to hang a light tulle in the kitchen, there is no need to drill the wall to the brick. Do the following:

• drill a hole of larger diameter dowel (2-3 mm);
• Insert the dowel embedded void liquid nails;
• allow the mixture to solidify;
• mount bracket.

This is a very reliable method of fixing the suspension in a loose layer of plaster.

But if we are talking about the full decoration of the window opening (pelmet, drapes, etc.), there is help only anchors. The procedure is the same as for installation in plasterboard. Upon completion of installation, the gaps in the plaster need to wipe grout or tile adhesive.

Fastening curtains on the two windows

Very often people ask, "If the room two windows how to hang curtains on the eaves 1" special difference when mounting the suspension on two adjacent window openings instead of one there. It is worth to pay attention to the dimensions of the room. If the room is smaller, and you want to visually enlarge it, then it is better for each window opening to install a separate ledge.

But for large size of the room, especially if the high ceilings, the installation of a solid suspension will give the room a violent grandeur.

mounting process is the same as for the one opening. Maintain all significant gaps. If planning to install one-piece curtain rod, consider the number of arms on the length of the crossbar. For every two meters should account for 2 bracket. That is, if the bar length of 3 meters, and the attachment to the wall should be three.

dismantle rules

If you need to remove the old hanger for curtains, we must follow a few rules.

1. First, remove the curtain with rings, pegs or hooks.
2. Next, carefully remove the screws, being careful not to touch the lining of the bracket.
3. After the last screw loosened, the suspension can be freely removed.

The process of dismantling better perform together. So you are guaranteed to keep the product.

If you hang new curtain rod, it is necessary to drill holes of the old anchors, and the wall repaired with cement mortar.

Look at the photos of a selection below, which show the different methods of attaching curtains to the walls.

suspensions fasteners for curtains on the walls can be caused by different events. The presence of suspended ceilings that do not allow to fix the brackets without damage to the coating integrity, wrong order window textiles in length - all these shortcomings are easily eliminated by mounting on the wall.
