Nice one. You forget how good curtains can look. It’s all some form of blinds I usually see these days

@rhino015 Жыл бұрын

I also like the option of letting light in while still having some privacy with the sheer curtains. I tried to achieve that with dual roller blinds, I like that option. Which reminds me….I bought roller blinds that are too big for some of my windows because they were on clearance. Maybe a good idea for a video could be how to trim roller blinds down to size

Trim the length or width?

@leannelollypop1869 Жыл бұрын

Spotlight will trim the width down to size for a fee per blind. I did mine myself. Cut the inner tube with a hack saw. Trimmed the blind material with sharp dress making scissors. Very hard to cut straight. Spotlight have a machine that brings it out perfect.

@rhino015 Жыл бұрын

@@leannelollypop1869 I did hear about spotlight doing it and asked and they said they only do it for blinds you buy there. And they didn’t do it on site where I live. Same with Bunnings, they will trim some for you via an order form but it’s only a couple of the brands they sell and they basically just order them in cut to the size elsewhere. I did 1 blind cutting the tube with an angle grinder and laying the blind fully out on a table and cutting it against a 1.8m level with a scalpel. But had to shift it along the table a couple times and it’s tough to get straight

Can you trim or connect the curtain tracks? In my case we want to mount curtains on double sliding doors which measure 4.2m wide and the tracks only come in 2.2m. Appreciate your videos they have been extremely helpful.

Depends on the make, usually you can👍

What brand of tracks have you used? Thank you!!

@christinebridgman9148 9 ай бұрын

Did you cut the string in the tracks in the middle so that the curtains open from the middle? In my curtain rod, the string goes the whole way across so my curtains are opening from one side only

@billshowto 9 ай бұрын

No, don’t cut the string. These are specifically made to split from the middle.

Unfortunately not. Curtains are generally pretty heavy and should be installed into studs or other solid surface

@@billshowto we’ve got a 4.2m wall to hang sheers / curtains on. On this space we’ve weighed it as about 8kg’s worth of curtains and there’s 12 brackets in the wall. Confident in that holding it or would you not be?

@billshowto 20 күн бұрын

the weight will fluctuate depending on where they are all stacked most of the time and during operation. At 4.2m you will have approximately half of the brackets going into studs. If half go into studs just make sure you use a good wall anchor that can carry weight for the rest. 👍

@billshowto 20 күн бұрын

Well that makes life easier, you can use wall mate anchors that hold approximately 20kg each or there’s another brand at bunnings ( can’t remember the name) that look like a 20 cent piece that can hold up to 50kg but a bit of a pain to install.

I love how it's so common in NZ to call your audience "guys". There was once a gathering in Los Angeles of the local liberal party to hammer out that years talking points. Hilariously, someone said "guys" and the meeting devolved for hours into a debate on pronouns and misgendering! Great use of funds to rent a hall and rabble about gender pronouns!😅
