Curtain Rod Installation
non-powered curtain rods or tracks with suitable supplied brackets
Caulfield East property context
Caulfield East sits within the existing Inner South-Eastern Melbourne coverage. For curtain rod installation, measurements, product information and access details are more useful than assumptions about the suburb's buildings. Span, curtain load, bracket arrangement and wall support must be considered together before fixing positions are agreed. Holes and dents need the right preparation before paintwork. Show depth and size, identify the likely cause and mention any earlier repair or recurring movement.
Service overview
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.
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.
A painted wall surface does not reveal all of the construction behind it. Share any known wall details and nearby services. Installation depends on suitable support and safe fixing locations, not simply finding a plug that fits an existing hole.
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.
Common situations
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.
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.
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.

FAQ

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.

A photo enquiry is not authorisation for additional tasks or a promise to resolve every concealed problem.
