Cross over curtain track

Another Bay window (see photos) Used a plastic bendable track with overlap section in the middle.

Had to put 2 small pieces of track on the side walls to return the curtains into the room. This allowed more light to come in to the room creating a nice feature. The track was to fixed onto a batten in the recess of the window. Curtains were heavy chenille but hung beautifully. Lined with curtain blackout lining.

Curtains with tie backs

Put tiebacks on to finish off the windows great.

Next job that day was putting up a 3mtr Belgravia curtain pole (my Favourite). I have never in all my days of fitting come across a wall so hard to get into. Had to bring in big bertha my electric all singing all dancing drill. Blunted 3 masonry  drill bits trying to put up this pole an hour and a half later eventually got the thing up. Won’t need to go to the gym this weekend.

Photos to follow particularly proud of this job as fabric very expensive and look’s amazing.

Next the biggest drop curtains I have ever done 147” drops. I used scaffolding in this customers house to get up that high , also the curtains were extremely heavy so the extra support instead of using a ladder was crucial. The track was a heavy duty corded swish metal rail suitable for heavy weight curtains. All went well and the curtains looked beautiful.

A rare occasion working in the original Trinity college where they teach people to be vicars etc.
Working in the accommodation area where there were 3 large bedrooms and a very very large living area. The curtains were extremely heavy as 2 of the windows were between 5 and 6 metres wide.
Used a white heavy duty aluminium track to take the weight of the curtains. Pulling up the curtains was a long job manly because the  curtain lining was blackout in the bedrooms. The best way to pull up large curtains is to attach the string in the heading tape to a door handle thus allowing you hands to pull the tape more freely and quickly. Tiebacks were added finishing the effect of the window.
All the track was easy to put up into wood battens already attached to the walls.  All went well and the customer very happy with the end result.

Very big job taking down old blinds and putting up 28 new venetian blinds in the conference rooms for reduction of light when using the overhead projector. A mammoth task as the old blinds had been up for 20 years and looked like they had never been dusted.

On surveying the first one we found that the screws holding the brackets up had rusted to the steel lintel so no way were we going to be able to just unscrew them. So out came the electric power drill and we just drilled through the screws to loosen them enabling us to get the brackets off.

This was definitely a 2 man job as the blinds were all behind pelmet boards and were in box sections to limit the amount of light coming through. Not a lot more can be said just ploughed along changing one after another until the job was finished about 6.30pm long day when we got home.

Very large job taking down pelmet boards and swags and tails to install new poles and curtains.

Firstly I would like to say when you are confronted with this kind of job you are left with a large number of holes in the wall from the brackets holding the old boards up.

You will have to fill these in. A little tip is to just push the plug inwards into the hole this stops any splinter of plaster making the hole worse, then fill with a quick drying filler to speed things up.

Anyhow back to the job in hand. I have chosen (with customers permission) to use the best pole on the market (well I think so) the Swish Belgravia 29mm antique brass pole. The reason I chose this pole is that the brackets are quite substantial and the customers curtains are heavy fleece lined ones which good support.

Being pinch pleat curtains the pole has to be cut down to the exact size as the curtains cannot be adjusted after they have been made.

This job is a bit different as they have plastic central heating pipes running up the side of the window behind the plaster board. A little tip is to ask the customer to put on the central heating for a bit so the pipe warms up you can usually tell where it is. If not put the bracket about 3” away from the recess and they should be alright. They are normally between 5” and 9” away but please check as all buildings and builders are different. The bracket has a support on it for strength and you can adjust a cm if need be. There’s photos showing where I have put the brackets.

Cut down the pole to your required size and check on the brackets the curtain length before you set every think up to finish. The Belgravia has Allen screws to tighten the pole to the bracket and the finales. All done in about 2hrs thats including putting the new curtains up. See pics.
