Hire Trusted Locals for Curtain Installation in Wellington

Curtains are an essential addition to any home. Not only do they add character, texture and style – they’re also essential for blocking out light (and prying eyes!). Plus, properly-fitted curtains ensure your home is more energy efficient by helping to prevent heat from escaping – a must during cold, wet Wellington winters.

If you’ve just moved into a new home and need to fit it out with curtains, or you’re looking to replace your existing curtains, you might be wondering how to install them.

There are a few different things to consider when it comes to hanging curtains, from making sure they’re the right height and width, to installing a curtain rail if you’re starting from scratch.

If you’re busy and short on time, you might not be relishing the idea of doing all of this yourself. Or you simply might not be confident that a DIY approach will get you the finish you’re after.

Hiring a professional curtain installer can be a great way to go – however, commercial curtain installation services tend to be on the pricey side.

Thankfully, Ezy Peazy is here to help. Our extensive network of skilled taskers, which includes professional curtain and blind installers, means booking an affordable curtain installer in Wellington is just a few clicks away.

Here’s how Ezy Peazy can help you with your next curtain installation job:

Eyelet curtains, also known as ‘ring top curtains’ are curtains with rings stitched directly into the fabric so that the curtain rod can run through the top of the curtain. Curtain rods are typically more traditional, and as they sit above the curtains, create a statement look.

It’s important to get the installation of your curtain rod right as it’ll be highly visible regardless of whether your curtains are open or closed. If the rod isn’t installed correctly, or at the right height, your curtains may sit too high, drag along the ground, or just look plain wonky. If you’re hanging particularly heavy curtains, the strength of the curtain rod and the way it’s affixed also becomes crucial. The last thing you want is for the weight of your new curtains to cause your curtain rod to come crashing down, causing damage to your walls, floors and curtain rod itself.

By booking a curtain hanging service via the Ezy Peazy platform, you can rest assured that you’ll be matched with a skilled professional who has the tools and know-how to mount your curtain rod correctly and securely. If needed, they can also add finishing touches, such as end caps and tiebacks. 

Curtain tracks and rails offer an alternative option to rods. Also known as traverse rods, tracks and rails are discreet and minimalist, designed to blend in with a wall or fit behind pelmets and valances.

They tend to be either plastic or metal, with an internal tracking mechanism that can either be corded, uncorded or motorised. In addition to their streamlined appearance, there are a number of options for curtain track and rail installation – including mounting outside or inside the window frame or behind a pelmet.

All of this means there’s lots of moving parts to contend with. If curtain track installation sounds rather overwhelming, why not enlist the help of a professional curtain installer who can take care of the hard work while you sit back and enjoy your new-look space?

Installing your curtains’ hardware is just the first step. Once you’ve got this done, you’ll then need to hang the actual curtains.

When it comes to eyelet curtains, these need to be threaded onto your curtain rod – a task that can be tricky if you’re installing your new curtains alone, or if your curtains are made of a particularly heavy fabric.

For curtain tracks and rails, you’ll need to add hooks to the backs of your curtains if they aren’t already attached. If you’re attaching the hooks yourself, this can be an easy step to mess up – it’s important that the hooks are evenly spaced and connected to the fabric at the right height.

If that all sounds like too much hard work, Ezy Peazy is your go-to. A friendly Wellington-based tasker can come to you in a flash and ensure your curtains are hung expertly and efficiently, leaving you with a finished job that’s not only high-quality but looks great too.
