Ask for the gram weight per square meter of curtain fabric. Heavier weaves provide better insulation and sound dampening. Thin voiles block less light but fit narrow brackets. Confirm the material resists fading if placed near south-facing windows. Request physical samples to assess texture and drape before committing to a purchase.
Determine how far the rod extends beyond the window frame. A standard extension is 15 to 20 cm on each side. This prevents light leaks when curtains are closed. Measure the exact length needed to gather fabric properly without touching the floor. Confirm the installer can accommodate custom lengths without extra labor charges.
For driven blinds, confirm the motor battery type and expected lifespan. Ask if the system includes a manual crank for power outages. Check the brand of the central controller and app compatibility with your phone. Ensure the technician provides a warranty covering both the motor unit and the remote control device separately.
If installing on a tilted wall, ask how the frame will adhere. Use a level to check for uneven surfaces. A crooked installation causes gaps and prevents smooth operation. The installer should bring shims or adjustable brackets to compensate for minor structural irregularities in your home. Verify this support method in the contract.
For heavy drapes, ensure the top sliding rail supports the total weight. Ask for the maximum load capacity in kilograms. Standard consumer rails often hold less than you think. Overloading causes the runners to bend and jam. Demand written confirmation that selected hardware matches the total fabric weight before installation begins.
Decide if you need a separate liner behind the main curtain. Liners add warmth and privacy without blocking all light. This adds cost and complexity. Measure both widths separately to allow for proper gathering. Confirm whether the quote includes labor for installing two layers of fabric on a single hook system or requires dual rails.
Ask what size screws and anchors the installer uses for drywall versus brick. Thin walls require specific anchors to prevent bracket pull-out. Heavy curtain rods need deep hold. Verify the installer brings appropriate fasteners for your specific wall material. Missing or incorrect anchors are a common cause of falling hardware later on.
If choosing motorized blinds, test the remote range during installation. Walls and metal frames block radio frequencies. Confirm the remote works from the furthest point in the room. Ask about repeaters if the signal fails. Document this test in the final report. A weak signal means you cannot control blinds effectively from your favorite chair.
Ask if the quote includes removing old blinds and cleaning up dust. Drywall sanding creates fine particles that settle everywhere. Insist on using drop cloths to protect nearby furniture. Confirm the contractor vacuums the work area before leaving. Failure to clean properly leads to dust settling on electronics and floors, requiring extra effort from you.
Inspect how the end caps seal the sliding track. Loose caps allow dust and lint to enter the mechanism. This causes friction and eventual failure. Demand tight-fitting caps made of durable plastic or metal. Ask about replacement parts availability. A simple cap issue can ruin a premium curtain setup by trapping debris inside the gear system.
