A Guide on How to Hang Curtains


Let's start right at the beginning:


Ladders step: Make sure there is a steady pair of steps is not too short for you more than accessible. Will your arms fall before you've taken the first lesson in how to hang curtains. Not to the hill that you can not access the window comfortably without leaning to the side to hang curtains throw you off balance.

Curtain hooks for standard pencil pleat curtain tape

Curtain hooks again before you begin, make sure that you have enough of the right kind of curtain hooks
It will be fine curtains and light with a standard plastic hooks.

Medium weight curtains use nylon hooks, stronger than plastic. Will flex without breaking.

Use heavy curtains nickel metal hooks, they are a bit clever to deal with that they all stick together box. Just like Chinese puzzles I had as a kid.

Headed curtain hooks bucram curtains

You will need the so-called "pin hooks" just to have a sharp pin pierces through the fabric and bucram on the back of the head curtain. This type of item makes for a better looking curtains. As always the best way it all costs a bit more.

An extra pair of hands

When you learn how to hang heavy curtains or large very useful to have someone standing on the ground level with a curtain weight. This allows you to hang the curtain on your path or rod with ease.

How many hooks do you need?

Curtains well shine a standard pencil tape rolled up you will need to connect each pocket 4.
Curtains bucram headed'll need 1 each pleat or mug, one for each end.

Prepare your bucram headed by hanging curtains.


The other good news of put the pin on hooks them 1/2 inch from the top of your curtain. There is no longer willing to do it. You have to learn how to hang curtains and dress them properly.

Prepping curtains rolled up your pencil before hanging:

Standard pencil pleat curtains to start you will need to collect the tape on the top of your curtains. Do so by pulling ropes 3 in the back of the curtain tape. To begin pulling ropes from both sides of the tape scenes and link them together in a knot company.

There are 2 reasons for this

1. It stops you completely pull the ropes of the tape (not a good start when learning how to hang curtains).
2. It keeps the ropes together in the end you pull the ropes to collect your curtain.
He then continued to pull the ropes. Tip simple to collect your curtains. Take one set of ropes and connecting knotted over a door handle or some other fixed object. Then use one hand to hold the tape curtain with the other hand begin to pull the tape away from the door handle. You will see the curtain on the address of the start pleat.
How wide curtains you need to be?
Choose half the width of your track or rod measures. Let's say your path is 100 inches long. You half to 50 inches, then add 2 inches to allow your curtains to meet comfortably in the middle when hanging. Consequently, the supply that you want to finish collecting all of your pair of curtains is 52 inches. The sooner you learn how to hang curtains, and more this becomes second nature.
Before hanging curtains ... Stop and check!
Before you start to hang your curtains you need to put your curtain down on a table or the floor and check presentation brings about right. Then if to narrow down and then pull the tape a little. If extensive collection then tape a little more.
What about the surplus of the cord?
Sorting in the end all that surplus cord and evening, so that the folds in the tape. Do not cut the ropes! The best solution is a bundle of ropes by wrapping them around your fingers and then connect each node slip on the package. This allows you in the future to change the tape head should want.
Once chords are sorted by converting the curtain. You need to look in the folds and even tried them out. Just do it almost at this time because when I came to hang them folds will move slightly.
Post before cutting your curtains
All most there, before you can hang your curtains have to put curtain hooks in the pockets on the back of the tape. On most standard pencil tape rolled up there 3 pockets upper, middle and lower.
How to hang curtains from a rod or pole
If hanging under a rod or pole put your curtain hooks in the upper pocket. We also note the number of rings on a rod or pole. This determines the number of hooks you put in the tape curtain. As a general rule of thumb to use less hooks on the rod or pole on the path of the curtain. On the path of development of Hawk Pocket 4 ever and ROR or pole pockets every 6 to 8.
Hanging from the track?
If hanging from a curtain track curtain hooks and then put in the middle of your pocket or bottom pocket. This allows the curtain to cover the track when closed. To decide which pocket to use to try one and see what it's like your curtain hanging. If you have a big happy then do another curtain. If you did not move Said curtain hooks up or down to suit.
Step 1 when hanging
A lot of people say you should always start your hanging curtains from the ends of the track or rod and work on his waist. I did not agree, and I say should always start from the outside East and work on the ends. Why I advise you to do it this way is that if you have
Gliders too much on your track or too many rings on a rod you can easily remove the ends of your track or rod. Where if you start from the outside in the middle of the gliders are locked surplus or rings in the middle of your path or rod. This means you have to unhang curtains to remove them. Not much more than that and now you'll have the basics on how to hang curtains.
Why some advice to start from the middle?
The reason is that in some of the tracks and bars, but mostly this kind corded. Their so-called overlap arms. This is a short arms made of metal or platic with holes in for the last few years of curtain hooks on each leading edge of your pair of curtains (edges that meet in the center of the window). Theses interfere weapons allow for a curtain to pass and overlap other curtain by 2 or 3 inches. Giving you total privacy.
So what is the big problem?
Where is the problem? The problem is that these weapons are not very strong. This means when you start to hang a way to a heavy curtain. Especially without the presence of any weight they carry sag and twist or break completely.
Avoid the problem!
So how do we avoid it when hanging from the middle of the road or rod and work abroad. Really quite simple, if you need to go 2 hooks in the arm overlap and then return to connect 3rd and link it in the first real glider or ring. Leaving the 1st and 2 curtain hooks to hang only in space. Continue to work your curtain hanging from the outside East. This is how to hang curtains on my way (the best way is clear "signal")
Then once you have arrived at the end of your path or rod (remove any surplus gliders or rings). I go back to the middle, and linked in the past two years of curtain hooks into the arms of the interferometer. So in order to avoid putting too much weight on them.
Well I hope you have picked up some "tips" on how to hang curtains. This is only the first phase. Next is the "dressing" of your curtains.
