Installing tire eaves is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. Before proceeding with the installation process, it is worthwhile to learn more about what type of fastening the selected model belongs to.

As a rule, products are divided into three types.

1. Ceiling option, that is, the tire is attached directly to the ceiling itself.
2. Wall construction. It is easily mounted on the wall itself. This option is useful if the room has a suspended ceiling, or the structure is made of plasterboard.
3. Universal type in which the mount can be both ceiling and wall. This option is the most popular.

When purchasing such products for your home, it is worth remembering that the kit to the tires you need to purchase some parts. Among them are roller runners or, in other words, hooks or clips on which the curtains themselves will be attached. Stoppers will also be needed to restrict the movement of the hooks, preventing them from flying out of the structure itself. In addition, turning elements, corners, if provided for in the room design, as well as busbar connectors are required (in the case when the standard length is not enough and an additional segment has to be added).

If the tires are mounted on the wall, then this will require special brackets. These mounts are mounted to the ceiling, and only then the tires themselves are attached to them.In that case, if the design is installed at the window under which there is a battery, then it is necessary to mount the tire, departing 5-10 cm from the ledge of the window handle. This distance is necessary so that the curtains and tulle do not cling to the radiator and do not tear.

Before mounting the ceiling tires, check for holes in them. As a rule, plastic options already have them. It must be remembered that the heavier the curtain itself, the more often there must be holes, otherwise the design may be unreliable. If the tire is three- or even four-row, then the holes should be in two rows.

Then you should adjust the size of the product itself to the length of the wall where the installation is planned. If necessary, you need to cut off the extra length, or, conversely, to prepare an additional segment of the tire.

The fastening should be started as follows: when applying a tire to the ceiling, it is necessary to mark all the holes with a pencil. After that, making a hole exactly in the middle, at the central mark, the tire itself should be attached.Then you need to fix the structure from the middle in both directions. Dowels are recommended for concrete ceilings and self-tapping screws for wooden ones.

After installation, you can begin to install the sliders and plugs. In that case, if the curtains will be located from wall to wall, then all hooks should be set in advance. On one part you need to install plugs, then - the required number of hooks and the cap on the other side. Only then can the structure be mounted.
