A. Face Fix (Wall Mount)

Step 3: Install brackets – Screw brackets firmly into place, check they’re level.

Step 4: Fit track – Clip the curtain track into the brackets.

Step 5: Hang curtains – Insert hooks into track gliders and space evenly.

B. Top Fix (Ceiling Mount)

Best for: square set ceilings (no cornice), creating a modern hotel-style floor-to-ceiling look.

Step 1: Mark position – Measure and mark screw points directly on the ceiling, spaced 600–800 mm apart.

Step 2: Drill holes – Drill pilot holes and use ceiling plugs as required.

Step 3: Install brackets – Fix ceiling brackets securely.

Step 4: Fit track – Clip the track into place.

Step 5: Hang curtains – Hook curtains into gliders, adjust spacing for neat pleats.

Finishing Touches

• Curtains should hover 10–15 mm above the floor, or follow your chosen finish (kiss, break, or puddle).

• Steam or iron curtains after hanging for a crisp, professional look.

• For motorised tracks, follow the included setup guide.
