How It Works

  1. 1

    Enquiry

    Photo of the windows and a brief description of what needs mounting. We give you a fixed price for all windows together.

  2. 2

    Scan, Level, Mount

    Wall scan above the window area, laser alignment for every rod and blind, then installation with the right anchor for your wall type.

  3. 3

    Done

    Hang your curtain or fit the blind, check hold and function, drill dust vacuumed away.

We install curtain rods, curtain rails, roller blinds and pleated blinds across Vienna. One window or an entire apartment, on all wall types, level and at the correct offset from the window frame.

Both curtain rods and blinds are jobs where small errors are immediately visible: a rail 2 mm off-level is something you notice every day. We set the laser level before drilling.

Curtain Rod Installation Vienna: Getting Height and Offset Right

Brackets should sit at least 10 to 15 cm above the window frame so the curtain falls clear of the glass when open. The rod should extend 15 to 20 cm beyond the window width on each side. We advise on the best position on site.

In the area directly above windows, Altbau buildings often have roller shutter boxes, lintels or electrical cables. Before drilling above any window frame, we always scan that area first.

Ceiling Track Installation Vienna: Floor-to-Ceiling Curtains, No Visible Bracket

Ceiling tracks are mounted directly on the ceiling or close to it. They allow curtains that run from ceiling to floor, which makes rooms feel taller. For concrete ceilings we use concrete anchors; for drywall ceilings we fix into the structural framework behind.

Roller Blind and Pleated Blind Installation Vienna: No-Drill or Drilled

Blinds come in two mounting options. No-drill (Klemmfix) systems clamp into the window frame without drilling. This works well for standard lighter blinds, but has limits with heavy blackout blinds or plastic frames without enough clamping surface.

Drilled wall or frame mounting is more stable and is the only option for blackout blinds with side guide rails that eliminate every light gap. We advise which variant makes sense for your windows.

Day-night blinds, double blinds and cellular shades each have their own mounting requirements. We know the common systems and bring the right tools.

Scanning Above Windows: What Often Gets in the Way in Altbau

In the area directly above windows, Altbau buildings often have roller shutter boxes, concrete or old brick lintels, and occasionally electrical cables. Before we drill above any window frame, we always scan that area. Drilling into a roller shutter channel is expensive to repair.

In many Viennese Altbau buildings, the wall directly above the window is made of a different material to the surrounding wall, often a concrete lintel or mixed old brickwork. We identify this with the scanner and select the right anchor.

For ceiling tracks on concrete ceilings: reinforcement steel in the concrete can limit where you can drill. We scan for rebar and adjust the track position before drilling.

FAQs

  • How far above the window should the curtain rod hang?

    Typically 10 to 20 cm above the window frame so the curtain does not block the glass when open. If you want the room to feel taller, we mount the rod close to the ceiling. We advise on the best position on site.

  • Can I have multiple windows done in one visit?

    Yes, and that is the most efficient option. We come once and handle all windows in a single visit: curtain rods, blinds, or a combination. For three or more windows we always give a package price.

  • What is the difference between no-drill and drilled blind mounting?

    No-drill blinds clamp into the window frame without drilling. This is quick and leaves no holes, but only works on frames with suitable surfaces and for lighter blinds. Drilled mounting is more stable, handles heavier blackout blinds, and allows side guide rails. We advise which suits your windows.

  • Does a curtain rod hold on a drywall wall?

    Yes, with the right anchors. In drywall we use hollow-wall anchors or fix directly into the metal studs behind the board. For heavier curtains we spread the load across more fixing points.

  • Can a curtain rod be mounted without drilling?

    Tension rods work without drilling, but only for light curtains and smooth window frames. For heavier curtains or textile rails, wall mounting with anchors is the only reliably long-term option.

  • Can you install a blind and a curtain rod at the same visit?

    Yes. That is the most common combination. We plan the appointment so both are done in one visit. A photo of the windows and a brief description is enough to get a fixed price.

  • How much does curtain rod or blind installation cost in Vienna?

    Curtain rod from €45 per window. Roller blind from €35 per window. Curtain rod plus blind combined from €70 per window. Package price for multiple windows on request. Fixed price confirmed upfront from a photo or description.
