Yes, with the right fixings. We drill into the slab and use concrete anchors rated for the load, which holds far better than anything set into drywall. The complication is what sits inside the slab. Post-tension cables run through some buildings and drilling into one is a serious problem, so we keep to shallow depths and check the building's rules first. Some corporations require written approval before any ceiling drilling.

They will, more than most people expect. Hard floors, glass and drywall reflect sound, and a wall of fabric is the easiest soft surface to add to a room that is already furnished. Lined panels with generous fullness do the work. Thin unlined sheers barely register. Running the track wall to wall rather than only across the glass gives you more fabric and a better result in a room like that.

Only if it is hung tight to the opening. We set the track so the stacked panels sit on the wall beside the door and clear the glass completely. A hold-back or a simple tie keeps the leading edge off the handle. Panels that get pushed aside by hand every day want a heading that slides easily and a weighted hem so they fall back straight instead of twisting.

A ripplefold or wave heading, in most cases. Both run on a track with carriers at a fixed spacing, so the fabric falls in an even S curve top to bottom with no pinch or gather at the header. It looks right against flat trim and a plain ceiling. Pinch pleats read more traditional and sit better in a room with casings, crown moulding and a wood rod.
