Window coverings · Ivanhoe East
A useful curtain rod installation enquiry in Ivanhoe East 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Ivanhoe East property context
Ivanhoe East sits within the existing Greater 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. For a Ivanhoe East 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
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.

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.
