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.
Sticking cords indicate worn or damaged lift mechanisms. Sliding runners need regular cleaning to move smoothly. Dust accumulation inside headrails causes noise. Tighten loose brackets immediately to prevent pulling. If the blind tilts unevenly, check the mounting screws. Regular maintenance extends product life and prevents sudden breakdowns mid-use.
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.
Minor cord fraying can be repaired with splicing. Broken bend mechanisms usually need replacement. Torn fabric requires professional re-stitching or replacement. Check warranty terms for in-store repairs. Keep original packaging labels for identification. Small fixes cost less than full replacement. Prompt attention prevents larger functional failures later in time.
Decide between inside placement and outside placement. Inside mounts fit within the window recess. Outside mounts cover the wall above the frame. Outside placement blocks more light but reduces natural daylight. Ensure you have at least 5 cm of wall space above the window for outside brackets. This choice impacts overall visual width.
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.
Avoid continuous loop cords near children or pets. Choose cordless wand systems for safe operation. Magnetic controllers are another safe alternative. Ensure all hardware is recessed or covered. Check that no small parts can break off easily. Safety certifications on products protect your household from ingestion or strangulation risks effectively.
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.
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.
Ask if the pro brings a level and drilling kit. Check for bracket alignment. Uneven fittings cause operational issues later. Verify they use appropriate wall anchors for your specific wall type. Drywall requires different screws than concrete. Poor installation leads to sagging or jammed mechanisms. Inspect the finished bracket work carefully yourself.
