Top 10 Tips for the Installation of Blackout Curtain

If you have a job that needs you to work in the night and you require a dark room with no lighting to enjoy day sleep, then Blackout Curtain is the fabulous piece of cloth for you.

If you have bought the curtain but don’t know how to set up them, follow these 10 excellent tips and get the installation done in a hassle-free and faster way. 

1.      Curtain rod placement

The first thing that you should do is to find the place you want to place the rod of a curtain. It must always be kept higher to make windows look longer. The longer a length of the rod is, wider will be the look of the window.  

2.      Bracket placement

Mark the sign on the place where you want to set the brackets. Note that both marks are aligned to each other. Use a level to make the necessary adjustments.

3.      Add brackets

Make a pilot hole at two marks you made to set the brackets. Place the left point on the wall and now arrange top screw mark with a pilot hole and then rotate it in. Do the same thing with right bracket and join other extra screws.

4.      It’s a time to hang the blackout curtains

Line the Blackout Curtain onto the curtain rod and then join the rod to the brackets.

5.      Keep your curtains ready

Set your present curtain down and put them horizontally on a bed, big table or a floor to extend their uniformity.  

6.      Fix drapery hooks

If you use a traverse rod, you may have drapery hooks. But you need to fix them if curtains are hung by rings.

7.      Panels

Set the panels on curtain’s top ensuring there is a line of the looped thread which goes with the panels’ width, at the top. Arrange this thread up with hooks.

8.      Magnetic strips

They generally integrated with liners and go down into small pockets on curtain’s sides.

9.      Liners

Join the curtain’s edge with that of blackout panels. Connect the hooks to the looped thread on panels.

10. Put the curtains

Hang curtains back on the rods and keep rods back on the brackets.
