CURTAIN ROD INSTALLATION IN MUNICH: THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR EVERY WALL TYPE

WHY CURTAIN ROD INSTALLATION IS HARDER THAN IT LOOKS

The biggest problem with curtain rods is usually not the rod itself but the wall behind it. In Munich Altbau buildings, mixed wall materials, old electrical conduits running along window reveals, and spots where dowels simply will not hold are all common.

Modern new builds bring their own challenges: plasterboard walls with limited load-bearing capacity and tight clearance above the window make the installation more demanding than people expect.

WHAT MATTERS WHEN MOUNTING A CURTAIN ROD

A curtain rod that sits straight requires both brackets to be fixed at exactly the same height. Even a few millimetres of difference becomes visible once the curtain hangs.

• Check wall type and load capacity
• Use a cable detector before drilling
• Fix both brackets at precisely the same height
• Choose the right dowels for brick, concrete, or plasterboard
• Align the rod and tighten brackets for a clean finish

COMMON MISTAKES IN RENTAL APARTMENTS

In rental apartments, drilling always carries a risk: too many or too large holes can lead to deduction costs at the end of a tenancy. That is why it is worth getting it right the first time in the right spot.

Another common issue is placing curtain rods too close to the window frame so the curtain catches on the window hardware when drawn, or the rod does not leave enough clearance for the curtain gliders to move freely.

“A curtain rod that fits to the centimetre changes how a room feels. The curtain hangs calm, straight, and without tension.”

WHY CURTAIN ROD INSTALLATION IN MUNICH IS WORTH BOOKING

If you would rather not handle the installation yourself, or a first attempt did not work out well, the job can be done together with other small apartment tasks in one visit.

In Munich, curtain rod installation is often combined with shelf mounting, lamp installation, or small wall work so that several open items get closed in a single appointment.
