Curtain Rod Installation
non-powered curtain rods or tracks with suitable supplied brackets
Upper Plenty property context
Upper Plenty 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. A useful Upper Plenty enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Service overview
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.
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.
FAQ

Position and mechanically fit suitable non-powered rods or tracks, following product instructions and applicable cord-safety requirements. Arrange the required owner or manager permission and identify the access contact. Include restrictions affecting drilling, finishes or room use where relevant; the property address alone does not establish authority to carry out work.
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 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.
