Window coverings · Carnegie
A useful curtain rod installation enquiry in Carnegie shows both the item and its surroundings. Send rod or track specifications, curtain weight information, the complete opening and the proposed mounting surface. Fix Nik can explain what affects suitable work on non-powered curtain rods or tracks with suitable supplied brackets, without assuming a solution before the details are reviewed.
Curtain Rod Installation
non-powered curtain rods or tracks with suitable supplied brackets
Common situations
The product type determines the bracket and fixing arrangement. Send the exact model and all supplied components. A rod kit and a curtain track are not interchangeable systems, and missing brackets should be resolved before their installation is scheduled.
Show the full opening and explain the intended mounting position. Handles, opening windows and the depth of the recess can interfere with the curtain or fittings. The final layout should be checked against the product before any drilling is agreed.
Furniture, pelmets and high or awkward positions can limit safe access. Show the room around the window and mention any staircase or obstruction below it. Unsupported high-access work is outside this service and must be identified before booking.
Service overview
Identify cords, chains and all supplied safety components at the enquiry stage. Product instructions and applicable safety requirements must be followed. An incomplete or unsafe operating system should not be installed as if it were an ordinary uncorded rod.
Heavy curtains can place different demands on the supports from lightweight fabric. Include product weight information rather than only the window width. The rod span and manufacturer bracket spacing also matter when deciding whether the intended arrangement is suitable.
Long rods or tracks may require a specific support layout. Provide the manufacturer instructions and desired width. Omitting an intermediate bracket to improve the appearance is not appropriate when the product relies on it for support under normal use.
The agreed service covers non-powered rods/tracks, compatible brackets, positioning and operation checks. Exclusions: Electrical motors/wiring, unsuitable substrates, unassessed cord hazards, unsupported high access.

Position and mechanically fit suitable non-powered rods or tracks, following product instructions and applicable cord-safety requirements.
Confirm the Carnegie address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.

Carnegie property context
For Carnegie enquiries, describe the available workspace as well as the requested curtain rod installation. Span, curtain load, bracket arrangement and wall support must be considered together before fixing positions are agreed. Include the best access contact and explain any restrictions affecting the work area. For shelving, cabinets or flatpack furniture, include the product name, dimensions, assembly instructions and a photo of the intended location. Note whether wall fixing is expected, as the wall type and supplied hardware need to be considered.
Planning the work
Position and mechanically fit suitable non-powered rods or tracks, following product instructions and applicable cord-safety requirements. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Operate the curtains without pulling against the brackets. Report movement and retain all supplied safety devices and instructions. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
