For curtain rod installation at your Glen Iris property, start with the product and the practical requirements. Span, curtain load, bracket arrangement and wall support must be considered together before fixing positions are agreed. Fix Nik reviews suitable work involving non-powered curtain rods or tracks with suitable supplied brackets and confirms the scope before scheduling.
Curtain Rod Installation
non-powered curtain rods or tracks with suitable supplied brackets
Service overview
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Glen Iris property context

Send rod or track specifications, curtain weight information, the complete opening and the proposed mounting surface. The address identifies the locality; it does not establish the construction, condition or accessibility of the property. New or removed fittings may affect where patching and paint are needed. Mark positions in wide photos and include product dimensions before deciding the finishing boundary.
