Knowing the Basics of Net Curtains

Net curtains are a type of window curtain that is made of lightweight net-like material. This type of window curtain typically hangs over the outside of the window. They can be installed on any window with a track, which provides them with extra support to avoid sagging or drooping.

Net curtains are also very easy to clean, making them perfect for environments where there are pets or children regularly present.

Preparing the Window Frame and Net Curtain

The first step is to start prepping your net curtains and your window frame. To do this, measure the width of the upvc window frame and the height of the net curtain panels.

Make sure you’ve cut all of your net curtain panels to the same height and that they’re all cut to the same length as well. You can then secure them to each other using a sewing needle and thread, making sure they’re equally spaced apart from one another.

Measure out how long you want your curtain rod to be and cut it down accordingly. Assemble the rod by screwing on some brackets, which are either supplied with the curtain kit or can easily be purchased at a hardware store. Screw these on tightly so that you have something stable on which to hang your curtains.

Take two brackets at either end of the assembled rod, screw them into place with screws or nails, and attach strips of wood onto the brackets so that it creates an L-shape for additional support. Next, measure out how long you want your top hem to be for securing your curtains together, adding on about six inches on either side so that you have enough fabric left over for tying it around itself on both ends. Once you’re finished measuring out how long you want your hems to be, stitch them in place with some needle and thread.

This will give you something sturdy on which to tie off both ends of your rod securely before hanging them up.

Installing the Curtain Track to the Window Frame

Step 1: Place the curtain track inside the window frame and attach it to the top of the frame with nails. For a better result, use screws as they’ll hold better than nails.

Step 2: Use a level to ensure that both sides of the track are positioned at an equal distance from the edge of the frame. You can choose to cover one side or both sides with curtains, depending on how you want your windows to look.

Step 3: Attach clip rings onto each end of the curtain track and hook on your curtains.

Step 4: Hang your curtains and enjoy!

Installing the Curtain Rod

You’ll need to measure the height of the window, and select the curtain rod accordingly. Next, place the curtain rod in front of the window and mark where you want it to be placed. If you’re installing heavy curtains, make sure that they won’t fall off the tracks.

Remove the brackets from the wall and install them on either side of the window. You can then use anchors if you’re affixing the brackets to brick or concrete walls to ensure that they are secure.

Fixing the Net Curtain to Upvc Windows

If you’re not sure how to fix net curtains to upvc windows, the instructions below will help.

1) Measure the length of your window and purchase a curtain rod that is slightly shorter than this measurement.

2) Place the rod on the top left-hand corner of the window with the brackets facing outwards away from the window.

3) Hold it in place as you measure from its top left-hand corner down to the bottom right-hand corner of your window.

4) Place one bracket at this point, just above where you have measured.

5) Continue placing brackets all along the length of your window until they are spaced evenly apart by around 10cm or 4 inches.

6) Firmly hammer a nail into each bracket – there should be a hole for this at one end of each bracket – to hold them in place. Make sure that these nails are hammered in tightly so that they do not come loose over time.

7) Once all brackets have been installed, pull down on your curtain track and fasten it onto each bracket at its top edge with a screwdriver. Use a drill if you want to make things easier and quicker!

Troubleshooting

In order to start this process, you’ll want to measure the length of your curtain track and find a long enough piece of wire. Next, take a small hook and attach it to one end of the wire. From there, attach a washer that is at least two inches in diameter.

Now you’ll want to insert the hook into one of the holes on the track and then use pliers to twist it around until it’s firmly attached. Make sure to add an extra wask if you need more support for added tension. In order to install the net curtains, make sure that they are resting on top of the wire without spilling over or touching other surfaces.

Use a ruler or measuring tape to measure from the top edge of each window frame all the way down to where you would like each curtain panel to rest before securing them with small clips. The final step is attaching a cord or chain through both loops at either end of your net curtains. Attach one end of the cord or chain onto each loop and then tie them together in order to secure them in place.

How to measure your Upvc Windows

Measure the width of your upvc window from top to bottom. Measure the height from left to right. Then, take a measurement for the depth of your window from inside to outside. If you’re not sure how deep it should be, a good rule of thumb is that the depth should be roughly 1/4 of the width.

Get the Correct Curtain Hardware

The first step is to determine what type of window hardware you have. This will give you a general idea of what kind of curtain hardware you will need. There are four different types of window hardware:

– In-track or in-jamb

This type of window hardware has a metal rod with plastic brackets that attaches to the top and bottom of the track. The curtains slide around this rod and can be held in place with a simple clip on the left and right side.

– Above the track

Above the track is a metal rod that is mounted at eye level or higher, which then holds a bracket for the curtain rod to slide into.

– Below the track

Below the track consists of two rods that are at eye level or higher, which then hold brackets for the curtain rod to slide into.

– Outside your window frame

This type of window hardware typically includes brackets that attach to your home outside your window frame – usually near your wall – and then hold one side of your curtains so they drape over them for privacy purposes.

Depending on which kind you have, there are corresponding curtains hooks required for installation. If you have in-track or in-jamb, all you’ll need are standard rings. If you have above the track, below the track, or outside your window frame, you’ll need to purchase clamps as well as rings because rings do not work with these types of hangers.
