Then, you snap it into place by pressing down. Spread the brackets out evenly along the track. They can move back and forth.
Measure where the anchors will go and place a dot at each one. Hold a tape measure up and mark a spot 2 to 3 inches 5. Hold the track up at this spot. Center it above the window, using a tape measure as needed to help you find the middle. Once you have the track where you want it, mark where each of the anchors needs to go with a pencil. Take the track down again before drilling the pilot holes.
Drill pilot holes for the wall anchors. The pilot holes should be the same size as the anchors. Place the drill against the ceiling, making sure it's perfectly perpendicular. Then, turn the drill on slowly. Let it do the work of drilling the hole as you apply gentle pressure. Wear safety glasses while you drill to protect your eyes.
Press and screw each anchor into place. Push the anchor into the plaster with your fingers. The teeth on the anchor should catch. Then, use a Phillips head screwdriver or screwdriver bit for your drill to turn the screw to the right. The anchor should be held in place by the teeth. As the drill turns, the metal pieces behind the anchor will tighten up. When it feels tight, you can stop and pull the screw out. You can use the screwdriver or a drill bit, but make sure to reverse the drill to pull it out.
Most drills have a "reverse" button. Repeat the process for all the holes. Screw the track into place. Hold the track up against the anchors. Begin at one end, and put the screw through the track's braces to the anchor below. Use your fingers to screw it in a little until it catches, then place the tip of the drill against the tip.
Turn the drill on slowly to screw it into place. Insert the curtain hooks into the loops on the track. You should have loops all along the bottom of the track. Start at one end, and grab a hook on one end of the curtain. Put one hook in each loop you see. Make sure not to skip any, as that will leave gaps in your curtains. When you've reached the last loop and hook, you're done. Our team is trying their best to stay in touch with every customer however there might be a communication delay.

If there is little space between the trim and the ceiling, then hang the curtains from the ceiling. Hanging your curtains at ceiling level maximizes the light that shines through your window and it makes the room feel larger because the walls look taller. This works well in a small space, but may not be ideal in a room that is already too large.
Placing the curtain just above the window trim allows you to use a shorter curtain or to allow the fabric to pool at the floor, which can create an appealing effect. Hanging the curtains at ceiling height, on the other hand, can be a useful technique for balancing a room with windows of different heights or sizes. This process is necessary to determine the position where you will hang the curtain.
Make sure the surface is free of dirt and dust so that it makes the installation process easier. After that, let stand until dry. If you have textured ceilings , you also need to scrape away the texture around the location where you want to put the hook.
In this process, you can use a putty knife. Do it slowly and check the condition of your ceiling before rubbing all parts. Remove the adhesive layer on each hook. After that, attach it to the ceiling that you have marked earlier. In this process, you should press the hook to the ceiling gently until it snaps tightly. Therefore, the hook can hold the curtain well.
