Ceiling Details to Check Before Curtain Installation
Before installation, check the track centreline, curtain pocket, finished ceiling level, supporting substrate, motor space and concealed services together. This confirms that production dimensions correspond to the actual fixing conditions.Why it matters at project stage
A small centreline or pocket discrepancy found after ceiling closure can cause fabric to conflict with glazing, walls or furniture. Review the detail before production and again before installation.
Information required
Compare the approved section with finished levels, track centreline, pocket dimensions, substrate, motor point, concealed services, nearby obstructions and installation access.
Reaching a project decision
Reconcile site measurements with the approved section and reassess track or fabric dimensions where they differ. Postpone installation if the substrate or surrounding work is incomplete.
Coordination through delivery
The ceiling contractor confirms finishes, the electrical team confirms motor points, and the curtain specialist confirms centreline and access against the latest revision.
Project checklist
Points to resolve in the project
- Do level and centreline match?
- Are pocket dimensions correct?
- Is the substrate ready?
- Can the motor point be reached?
- Have obstructions been removed?
