How It Works

  1. 1

    Enquiry

    Tell us what goes on which windows. A photo helps. You get one price for all windows together.

  2. 2

    Installation

    Scan the wall above the window, level with the laser, mount with the right anchor.

  3. 3

    Done

    Curtain hung or blind fitted, function checked, drill dust vacuumed.

We install curtain rods, curtain rails, roller blinds and pleated blinds in Vienna. One window or the whole apartment, on any wall type. Curtain rod from €60, blind from €50 per window.

With rods and blinds, every mistake shows. A rail a few millimetres off level is something you see every day. That's why we level with a laser before we drill.

Curtain Rod Installation: Height and Width

As a guide, the rod sits 10 to 15 cm above the window frame. It should extend 15 to 20 cm beyond the window on each side. Then the open curtain hangs beside the glass and doesn't block light. If you want the room to feel taller, we place the rod just below the ceiling.

Ceiling Track for Floor-to-Ceiling Curtains

A ceiling track sits directly on the ceiling. The curtain then runs from ceiling to floor, and the room feels taller. In concrete we use concrete anchors, in drywall ceilings we fix to the framework.

Roller and Pleated Blinds: No-Drill or Drilled

No-drill (Klemmfix) blinds clamp onto the window sash. That suits light blinds and leaves no holes in the frame. With heavy blackout blinds or narrow plastic frames, it reaches its limits.

Drilled, a blind holds more firmly. It's also the only way to fit side guides that close the light gap at the edges. We tell you on site what suits your windows. We fit double blinds and honeycomb blinds too.

Above the Window: What Often Gets in the Way in Altbau

Directly above the window is the lintel, the beam that carries the wall over the opening. In Altbau it is often concrete or a different masonry from the rest of the wall. Depending on the building, there may also be a roller shutter box or a cable.

We scan this area before every hole. That way we don't hit anything we shouldn't, and we choose the anchor to match the material.

Concrete ceilings contain reinforcement bars. If the scanner shows one at the planned spot, we move the ceiling track fixing a few centimetres.

FAQs

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

    Curtain rod for 1 window from €60, for 2 to 3 windows from €94. Ceiling track from €70. Roller or pleated blind from €50, blackout blind with side guides from €75. Blind and curtain rod on the same window from €85. From 4 windows we give a package price. We confirm the fixed price after a short description, a photo of the windows helps.

  • What happens if the drill hole breaks out in an Altbau wall?

    It happens in old buildings: old brick or plaster crumbles, the hole gets too big and a normal wall plug no longer holds. Then we fill the hole with 2-component fast mortar. It sets within minutes, and after that the screw holds firmly. This costs €30 extra per cartridge. We ask you first, and the surcharge only applies if you agree. If you say no, we look for another drilling spot. If that isn't possible, we don't mount at that spot, because the hold wouldn't be safe.

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

    As a guide, 10 to 15 cm above the window frame and 15 to 20 cm wider than the window on each side. If you want the room to feel taller, we mount the rod just below the ceiling.

  • Can you do several windows, blinds and rods in one visit?

    Yes. We come once and install everything: curtain rods, roller blinds, pleated blinds, or both on the same window. From 4 windows you get a package price.

  • No-drill or drilled mounting for a blind?

    No-drill leaves no holes, but only suits light blinds and frames with enough surface. Drilled mounting is more stable and needed for heavy blackout blinds with side guides. We look at your windows and recommend the right option.

  • Does a curtain rod hold on a drywall wall?

    Yes, with the right anchors. We use cavity anchors or fix directly into the metal studs behind the board. For heavy curtains we add more brackets so the weight is spread.

  • Can a curtain rod be mounted without drilling?

    Tension rods in the window recess hold without drilling, but only light curtains. For heavy curtains or rails, mounting with anchors is the safe choice.
