Custom Drapery & Curtains Midtown Toronto – Free Installation

Above the casing rather than on it, most of the time. Older windows here are tall already and the trim runs close to the ceiling, so there may be only a few centimetres to work with. We fix a board across the top and mount the rod to that when the gap is tight. It gives a solid fixing and keeps the line straight.

Fabric absorbs some of it, and a lined or interlined panel does more than a bare one. Nobody should expect silence from a curtain, since most of the sound comes through the glass itself. What people notice is the room sounding softer, especially in a condo with hard floors and little furniture. Full-length panels do more than short ones.

Stop the hem a couple of centimetres above the heater rather than running to the floor. Fabric sitting on a baseboard unit blocks the output and the heat goes up the back of the panel instead of into the room. Sill-length panels look wrong in most condos, so we usually mount high and finish just above the unit.

Quiet enough that people ask whether it is running. The motor sits in the track and moves the carriers at a steady speed, and the loudest part is usually the fabric itself brushing the wall. In a studio or one-bedroom where the bed is a few metres from the window, that matters. Set it to open slowly and it is gentler again.
