Installation Guide

Before You Begin

Please read through this guide completely before starting. Proper preparation ensures a clean, professional result and protects your walls and drapery.

Tools You Will Need

Step 1 — Mark Your Bracket Positions

Decide on the height of your rod or track. For a grand, high-ceiling effect, mount as close to the ceiling or crown molding as possible. Use a pencil and spirit level to mark bracket positions, ensuring they are perfectly horizontal.

Step 2 — Install the Brackets

1. Drill pilot holes at your marked positions.
2. Insert wall anchors if not drilling into a stud.
3. Screw brackets firmly into place.
4. Double-check with your spirit level before proceeding.

Step 3 — Hang Your Drapes

For Rod Systems (French Pleat, Grommet, Rod Pocket)

1. Thread your curtains onto the rod before mounting, or attach hooks to the header tape.
2. Place the rod onto the brackets and secure the end caps.
3. Distribute the fabric evenly across the rod.
4. Adjust the pleats or folds by hand for an even, balanced appearance.

For Track Systems (S-Fold, Pinch Pleat)

1. Clip or hook the curtain carriers onto the track gliders, starting from one end.
2. Attach the curtain header tape to the carriers at even intervals.
3. Slide the curtain along the track to test smooth operation.
4. Adjust carrier spacing if needed for uniform ripple or pleat spacing.

"Dressing" your curtains trains the fabric to fall in consistent, beautiful folds. After hanging:

1. Arrange the folds by hand from top to bottom.
2. Loosely tie the curtain with a soft fabric strip or ribbon at three points — top, middle, and bottom.
3. Leave tied for 48–72 hours to allow the fabric to set.
4. Remove ties and enjoy your perfectly draped curtains.

Motorized Track Installation

Our S-Fold and Pinch Pleat drapes are fully compatible with motorized track systems including Somfy, Silent Gliss, and most smart home platforms.

• Follow your motorized track manufacturer’s installation instructions for the track itself.
• Attach curtain carriers to the motor-driven gliders as described above.
• Set travel limits on the motor according to your track length.
• Pair with your smart home system (Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit) per the motor app instructions.
