Hire a Trusted Handyman For Curtains Installation

Curtains are a great way to add personality to your home, provide privacy and insulation and block out the light. With the wide variety of fabrics, patterns and finishes available in stores, it’s easy to find a curtain style to suit every home.

Once you’ve found the perfect curtain, however, there’s the tricky task of getting them installed. Curtains require a rod or rail to hang from, which needs to be the right length and hung at the right height for optimum appearance and performance. For example, a rail that’s too short may limit the light-blocking capability of your curtains and not look good, while a rail hung too low means your curtains will trail on the ground.

Make sure your curtains are correctly hung by calling for the help of an expert. You’ll find a professional curtain installer via the Ezy Peazy platform for any of your curtain hanging needs – whether you need new rods or rails installed, new curtains hung, or both.

Here’s how a professional curtain installer can help with your curtain task:

Curtain Rod Installation

A curtain rod is often required for eyelet curtains, and they can even be a feature by themselves. As the rod will be visible whether the curtains are open or closed, you want to ensure the rod is installed securely and is level. This will mean it will look good, can hold the weight of your curtains, and not impede their easy opening and closing.

An expert found via the Ezy Peazy platform can take care of curtain rod installation for you. They will measure the right length, work out the ideal height for the rod to be hung, and attach it securely to the wall. They can also install accessories like end caps, foldaway holdbacks, or tiebacks to complete the look.

Curtain Track or Rail Installation

Curtain tracks, or rails, in contrast to rods, are designed to become practically invisible when the curtains are closed. Some tracks mimic rods’ look but offer a track’s smooth operation and allow for different pleating styles.

Tracks also offer more flexibility on where you install them. This could be outside the window frame, from the ceiling, or within the window frame. You can also get double tracks, so you only need one unit where you can hang both drapes and sheers for a more modern look.

When installing tracks, it’s crucial to ensure they’re the right length and height for the chosen curtains. If they’re being installed outside the window frame, the tracks need to be wide enough to allow the curtains to extend beyond the window frame, but not so long that the curtains don’t close properly.

If you need help installing curtain tracks or rails, you can find an expert tasker via the Ezy Peazy platform. They will have the necessary skills, experience, and tools to get the job done quickly and professionally.

Curtains Hanging

Once your rod, track, or rail is installed, it’s time to hang your curtains. If you’re using a rod, you’ll need to fold each curtain, so the eyelets line up and ensure the first eyelet is facing so the lining isn’t showing before threading the curtain onto the pole. To stop your curtain from being pulled too far into the centre, you’ll need to place your outermost eyelet outside the outer bracket to act like a stopper.

When using a track or rail, you’ll need to attach the hooks to the back of the curtain if they don’t come with these pre-attached. It’s also essential to ensure they’re evenly spaced and attached at the right height at the back to the curtain, so the rail is hidden once your curtains are up. Once all the hooks are in the curtain, you can start attaching them to the eyelets on the curtain track, with the outermost hook inserted into the end cap on the curtain track to keep it anchored.

If these steps sound beyond your capabilities, or you don’t have the time to hang your new curtains, you can find a skilled and experienced tasker through the Ezy Peazy platform. They have hung curtains many times and know exactly how to hang your curtain for a perfect finish.
