The Curtain in Dubai Finally, we decided to share our secret on the internet about how to hang curtains in dubai. It’s for only customers’ knowledge, but it’s highly not recommended to do it by yourself. Please only try it at the home office if you are properly trained, but we are sharing it with you.
Let’s start right at the beginning.
Step ladders: Make sure you have a steady pair of steps that are short enough so you overreach. Your arms will drop off before you take your first lesson on hanging curtains. Not too tall, you can only reach the window comfortably, leaning out to the side to hang curtains throwing you off balance.
Curtain hooks for standard pencil pleat curtain tape
Curtain hooks Again, make sure before you start that you have enough of the right kind of curtain hooks.
Light curtains will be fine with standard plastic hooks.
Medium-weight curtains use nylon hooks, stronger than plastic. They will flex without breaking.
Heavy curtains use metal nickel hooks; they are a bit fiddly to handle they all stick together in the box. Just like the Chinese puzzles I had as a child, curtains Dubai.
Curtain hooks for buckram-headed curtains
You will need “pin hooks” simply because they have a sharp pin piercing through the fabric and buckram on the back of the curtain header. This kind of heading makes for the best-looking curtains. As always, the best always costs a bit more.
An extra pair of hands
When you are learning how to hang curtains, large or heavy, it is very useful to have someone standing at ground level holding the curtain and taking the weight. This enables you to easily hang the curtain onto your track or rod.
How many hooks will you need?
You will need a hook in every 4th pocket for curtains with standard pencil pleat tape.
For buckram-headed curtains, you will need 1 for every pleat or goblet and one for each end.
Preparing your buckram-headed curtains before hanging.
The good news is that other than putting in the pin hooks, set them down 1/2 inch from the top of your curtain. There is no more prepping to do. You have to learn how to hang curtains and dress them properly.
Prepping Your How To Hang Curtains in Dubai
Standard pencil pleat curtains to start; you must gather the tape on the top of your curtains. You do this by pulling out the three cords in the back of the curtain tape. Pull the cords out of both ends of the curtain tape and tie them together in a firm knot.
There are two reasons for this
1. It stops you from pulling the cords out of the tape (not a good start when learning to hang curtains).
2. It keeps the cords together when you pull them out to gather your curtain.
Then continue to pull the cords out. Simple tip on gathering your curtains. Hooks one set of knotted cords over a door handle or some other fixed object. Then use one hand to hold the curtain tape, and with the other hand, start to pull the tape away from the door handle. You will see the heading on your curtain start to wrinkle.
How To Hang Curtains Wide do your curtains need to Be?
Next, check what half the width of your track or rod measures. Let’s say your track is 100 inches long. You half this to 50 inches, then add on 2 inches to allow your curtains to meet in the middle when hanging comfortably. So the finished width you want to gather for each pair of curtains is 52 inches. The more you learn to hang curtains, the more this becomes second nature.
Before you hang curtains…stop and check!
Before you start to hang your curtain, you need to lay your curtain down on a table or the floor and check the gathered width is about right. If too narrow, then pull out the tape a little. If too wide, then gather in the tape a little more.
What about the surplus cord?
Finally, sorting out all that surplus cord and evening up the wrinkles in the tape. DO NOT CUT THE CORDS! The best solution is to bundle the cords by wrapping them around all your fingers and then tying a slip knot around the bundle. This allows you to alter the header tape if you want to.
Once the cords are sorted out, turn the curtain over. You need to look at the pleats and try and even them out. Do it roughly at this time because when you come to hang them, the wrinkles will move a little.
Last job before hanging your curtains
Before you can hang your curtain, you must put the curtain hooks into the pockets on the back of the tape. Most standard pencil pleat tape has three pockets top, middle, and bottom.
How to hang curtains from a rod or pole
Put your curtain hooks in the top pocket if hanging under a rod or pole. Also, note the number of rings on your rod or pole. This determines the number of hooks you put in the curtain tape. As a rule of thumb, you use fewer hooks on a rod or pole than on a curtain track. On a track, put a hook every 4th pocket and on a rod or pole every 6 to 8 pockets.
Hanging from a track?
Put your curtain hooks in the center or bottom pocket if hanging from a curtain track. This allows the curtain to cover the track when closed. To decide which pocket to use, try one and see what your curtain looks like hanging. Suppose you are happy, then great, do the other curtain. If not happy, move the curtain hooks up or down to suit.
The 1st step when hanging
Many people say you should always start hanging your curtains from the ends of the track or rod and work towards the middle. I disagree; you should always start from the middle and work outwards towards the end. I advise you to do it this way because if you have blackout curtains in dubai, too many gliders on your track, or too many rings on your rod, you can easily remove them from the ends of your track or rod.
If you begin from the outer part and move towards the center, any extra gliders or rings will become stuck in the middle of your track or rod. Meaning you have to unhang your curtains to remove them. Only a little more now, and you will have the basics of hanging curtains.
Why Do Some Advice On How To Hang curtain in dubai
The reason is on some tracks and rods, but mostly the corded kind. They have what are called overlap arms. These are short arms made of metal or plastic with holes in for the last couple of curtain hooks on each leading edge of your curtains have edges that meet at the center of your window). These overlapped arms allow one curtain to pass and overlap the other by 2 or 3 inches. Thus giving you total privacy.
So what’s the big problem?
So where’s the problem? The problem is that these arms could be stronger. This means when you start to hang a medium to heavy curtain. Especially without someone carrying the weight, they sag, twist, or break completely.
Avoiding the problem curtain in dubai
So how do we avoid that when hanging from the center of the track or rod and working outwards? Very simple, if you need two hooks to go in the overlap arm, then count into the 3rd hook and hook this into the first real glider or ring. Leaving the 1st and 2nd curtain hooks to hang in space. Continue hanging your curtain, working from the middle outwards. That’s how to hang curtains my way (the best way, obviously “wink”)
Then once you have reached the ends of your track or rod (removing any surplus gliders or rings), you go back to the middle and hook the last couple of curtain hooks into the overlap arms. So avoiding putting too much weight on them.
