# Curtain Installation Types Source: https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/curtain-installation-types/ # Curtain Installation Types Curtain mounting is handled separately across eight products. Screwed, drill-free and project-specific connection; the window geometry and the room's need give the selection. ## Mounting Across Eight Products Each product's connection options are explained in a separate section. The card links to that section. [Roller Blind Wall, ceiling, inside-frame and three drill-free options. Explore](#stor) [Zebra Blind The rail is screwed in two directions; adapter and clamp ask the model. Explore](#zebra) [Screen Blind Standard bracket; on the motorised rail the feed is planned. Explore](#screen) [Vertical Blind The track to the ceiling or to the wall with a stand-off leg. Explore](#dikey) [Blackout Blind The connection is inherited from the underlying system; the light closes at the edge. Explore](#blackout) [Roman Blind The upper mechanism is screwed; the gathering volume asks for room. Explore](#katlamali) [Ceiling Blind Glass roof and conservatory; only with a project survey. Explore](#tavan) [Motorised Blind The control form; the connection is asked of the underlying product. Explore](#motorlu) ## Roller Blind Installation The mechanism bracket is the same; the plane it connects to and the fitting form change. - **Wall Mounting** — Screwed The upper mechanism is screwed to the wall plane with two-end brackets. The recess overhang and the edge leakage are controlled at this position. - **Ceiling Mounting** — Screwed The brackets turn upward and the blind hangs from the ceiling. On a window having furniture or a radiator in front the fabric is brought forward. - **Inside-Frame Mounting** — Screwed The brackets sit on the window void's upper wall. Flush look; the edge share is deducted from the mechanism width. - **Curtain-Rail Adapter** — Drill-Free A compatible adapter locks onto the existing curtain track. The rail section and the carrying capacity are verified at survey. - **Sash Clamp** — Drill-Free Fitted with a retainer gripping the opening sash's upper edge; the blind turns together with the sash. - **Recess Pressure Rail** — Drill-Free A special top rail squeezes between the recess's two opposite walls. Parallelism and surface soundness are sought. Product detail and fabric options are on the [Roller Blind](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/roller-blind/) page. ## Zebra Blind Installation The rail weight grows with the double-layer fabric; the connection point is distributed accordingly. - **Wall and Ceiling** — Screwed The rail is screwed in both directions. The double-layer fabric's gathered weight decides the bracket interval. - **Inside-Frame Mounting** — Screwed The rail sits on the recess upper plane; a share is left in front of the rail for the layers' free passage. - **Curtain-Rail Adapter** — Drill-Free The adapter passes into the rail channel and the housing locks onto it. The track's own connections meet the load. - **Sash Clamp** — Drill-Free In the clamped arrangement the rail sits on the sash; on a tilt-and-turn sash the blind can stay lowered. - **Recess Pressure Rail** — Drill-Free Flush position with a special pressure rail. Model compatibility and the weight limit are asked at survey. Product detail and fabric options are on the [Zebra Blind](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/zebra-blind/) page. ## Screen Blind Installation The winding rail holds with a standard bracket; the sun-filtering job does not change the connection form. - **Wall Mounting** — Screwed The winding rail connects to the wall with two-end brackets. The sun-filtering fabric can also be positioned outside the recess. - **Ceiling Mounting** — Screwed The rail is screwed to the upper plane; on shopfronts and office façades the blind descends from the top. - **Inside-Frame Mounting** — Screwed In the flush position an edge tolerance is given so the fabric does not rub the recess edge. - **Adapter and Clamp** — Drill-Free The curtain-rail adapter and the sash clamp are verified by rail model; they do not fit every rail. - **Motorised Rail** — Project On a motorised screen the connection stays the same; the feed line and the control are added to the mounting plan. Product detail and fabric options are on the [Screen Blind](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/screen-blind/) page. ## Vertical Blind Installation The vanes turn under the track; the track direction and the turning clearance decide the connection. - **Ceiling Track** — Screwed The carrier track is screwed directly to the ceiling; the vanes turn and slide under the track. The standard set-up of a wide opening. - **Wall Stand-Off Leg** — Screwed A track fitted to the wall is brought forward of the wall for the vane turning; the distance is calculated from the vane width. - **Inside-Frame Track** — Screwed The track is taken to the recess upper plane; the clearance the vanes turn in must fit the recess depth. - **Curtain-Rail Adapter** — Drill-Free A compatible adapter connects to the existing rail; the rail's carrying the vane and sliding load is verified. - **Adhesive Special Rail** — Drill-Free A model with a special top rail bonding inside the recess exists; it is specific to that series, not the general product group. Product detail and fabric options are on the [Vertical Blind](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/vertical-blind/) page. ## Blackout Blind Installation The mounting inherits the rule of the underlying system chosen; the real job finishes at edge leakage. - **The Underlying System's Connection** — Screwed The blackout fabric works on a roller, roman or vertical mechanism; the screws descend by that mechanism's rule. - **Side-Guided Arrangement** — Screwed Edge light is closed with a side channel. The guides are screwed to the wall or the recess side faces. - **Overhang-Shared Wall** — Screwed The fabric is cut wider than the joinery; the top and side overhang share reduces the leakage. - **Dual System Single Bracket** — Screwed The sheer and the blackout layer are carried on parallel tubes with a single bracket; the two mechanisms' load is calculated together. Product detail and fabric options are on the [Blackout Blind](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/blackout-blind/) page. ## Roman Blind Installation The gathering mechanism is carried from above; the folding pack's volume decides the position. - **Wall and Ceiling** — Screwed The gathering mechanism is screwed to the upper plane; the volume the folding fabric accumulates in asks for room above the window. - **Inside-Frame Mounting** — Screwed The mechanism sits on the recess top. The folding pack's gathered height must not clash with the glazing. - **Recess Pressure Rail** — Drill-Free On light and compatible models it is fitted with a pressure rail; the weight limit is asked from the model. - **Adhesive Special System** — Drill-Free A surface-bonding mounting exists in the light arrangements the producer foresees; it is not carried to a wide roman blind. Product detail and fabric options are on the [Roman Blind](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/roman-blind/) page. ## Ceiling Blind Installation Standard blind rules do not pass here; the system is designed together with the carrier and the tension. - **Connection to the Carrier Profile** — Project On a glass roof and conservatory the system connects to a beam or aluminium profile; the legs are chosen by the plane's slope. - **Guide and Tension** — Project On a horizontal and sloped plane the fabric is stretched with a cord, track or spring mechanism. The logic of a plain hanging blind does not pass. - **Motor and Maintenance Access** — Project Operation is mostly motorised; the feed line and the service access are planned in the project. - **Survey Obligation** — Project Without knowing the bay layout, carrier section and access the mounting type is not chosen. The measurement alone does not suffice. Product detail and fabric options are on the [Ceiling Blind](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/ceiling-blind/) page. ## Motorised Blind Installation The motor is a control form; the mechanical connection is asked of the underlying product. - **Mechanical Connection** — Screwed The motor is a control form; the connection follows the rule of the underlying product — roller, zebra, screen, vertical, roman or ceiling blind. - **Mains-Fed** — Project The power line is drawn to the rail side; the cable outlet and the socket position are planned before the mounting. - **Battery and Rechargeable Motor** — Project Asks no feed line; the tubular motor works inside the rail and the charging access is preserved. - **Commissioning** — Project End points, remote pairing and sensor settings are part of the installation. Product detail and fabric options are on the [Motorised Blind](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/motorised-blind/) page. ## Three Bracket Directions On roller, zebra, blackout and screen blinds the mechanism holds with the same bracket. What changes is the direction the bracket faces. Curtain bracket directions, applications and points to watch Direction — Application — Ideal Case — Attention Wall — The brackets are screwed to the upper wall plane — Depth-less joinery, above-door gaps — The fabric overhangs the recess. A share is added to both sides Ceiling — The bracket direction turns to the ceiling — Volumes occupied below, open above — The beam–cornice alignment is measured Inside Frame — The brackets are fitted to the window recess's inner wall — Clean finish on a recessed frame — The leakage share is calculated from the recess depth ## Application Rules Four practical points to know before mounting. From measuring to safety. ### Recess Leakage Share On roller and zebra blinds fitted inside the frame the fabric arrives a few cm narrower than the recess. The mechanism and cover share. In rooms wanting blackout, wall mounting and an overhang share are preferred to reduce this leakage. ### Chain Side Whether the chain will be on the right or left is specified at order. The cabinet edge, window handle and socket position decide the chain side. Reversing it after delivery asks for disassembling the mechanism. ### Child-Safety Fitting The hanging chain is kept taut with a retainer clipped to the wall. In homes with children and in school projects this fitting is fitted as standard. The chainless spring system offers an option. ### Dual System Single Bracket In dual systems where sheer + blackout — two blinds — work on parallel tubes, a single double bracket carries both mechanisms. The bracket interval is chosen by the double-load calculation. The mechanism families and fabric types are handled on the [Curtain Systems](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/curtain-systems/) page; the venues the connection is applied to are gathered on the [application areas](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/curtain-application-areas/) page. ## Questions About Curtain Mounting Is a roller blind fitted to the wall or the ceiling? The bracket turns in both directions. Wall mounting is the most common application. If there is furniture or a radiator in front of the window, ceiling mounting brings the fabric forward. Does light leak in inside-frame mounting? Yes. Because of the mechanism and cover share thin light leaks from the fabric edges. If full blackout is wanted in a bedroom, wall mounting + overhang share or a blackout + side-guide combination is recommended. Can I turn the blind to the ceiling later? The brackets are two-way. The blind is removed and refitted by turning the brackets to the ceiling. The holes are opened in the ceiling instead of the wall. ## Specify the Window Type Once the window measurement and the room layout are conveyed the bracket direction and the blind type are recommended.
