Window coverings · Cockatoo
A useful curtain rod installation enquiry in Cockatoo 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
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
Cockatoo property context
An occupied Cockatoo property may need preparation before curtain rod installation can begin. Send rod or track specifications, curtain weight information, the complete opening and the proposed mounting surface. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. For a Cockatoo quote, describe each task separately and note height, parking, tenant access or preferred appointment windows. This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.
Planning the work
Send rod or track specifications, curtain weight information, the complete opening and the proposed mounting surface. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
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.
Span, curtain load, bracket arrangement and wall support must be considered together before fixing positions are agreed. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
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.
Common situations
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 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.
The service covers suitable mechanical fittings for non-powered products. Motor wiring and electrical alterations are excluded. Altering the building to create support or modifying an unsuitable curtain system should not be assumed to form part of a standard rod installation.

FAQ
