Curtain Rods for a 124” Wide Window – What To Do? 

For a window this size, you will likely need to look into having custom curtain rods made. The best way to go about this would be to contact a reputable curtain rod retailer and ask them if they can get a quote for you on the size you need.


Are There Curtain Rods That Don’t Require Being Screwed Directly to the Wall? 

There are curtain rods that install between two walls by using a spring inside and telescoping curtain rod to expand between the walls. These work particularly well inside the window frame.


How to Install Wrought Iron Curtain Rods Into Concrete Walls? 

You can mount the curtain rod brackets for a wrought iron curtain rod to a concrete wall. Start by marking the holes and using a drill with a masonry bit. Then use plastic wall anchor inserts; drill the appropriate size hole according to the size of anchor you are using and drive the anchor into the wall using a hammer.   Hold the bracket up to the wall and drive the screws into the anchor.


What Kind of Screws Should I Use to Hang My Iron Curtain Rods? 

Usually the iron curtain rods and/or brackets come with the appropriate screws for installation. If you are using wall anchors they also come with screws but are sometimes not the correct color to match your rod brackets. If this is the case, take the screw into your local hardware store and match it up with a screw that is the correct color.


Can I Paint My Wrought Iron Curtain Rods? 

Yes, any spray paint made to adhere to metal will work just fine.


Can I Attach My Iron Curtain Rods to the Ceiling? 

If the ceiling height works for the length of curtain you wish to install and the type of brackets or ceiling curtain rod hooks are made to hold the rod at that angle, then yes, you can mount to the ceiling.  Use toggle bolts for this type of hanging if you are unable to fasten into the studs.


What is the Average Price for a Nice Wrought Iron Curtain Rod? 

Average pricing for a standard wrought iron curtain rod ranges from $10-$25 per foot (length) of curtain rod. This will vary depending on material, finish, and other attributes.


How Do You Hang a Wrought Iron Curtain Rod? 

Most curtain rods are going to mount to the wall above or on either side of the window trim. Here is a simple step-by-step instruction on hanging a standard iron curtain rod.   

  1. Measure the length of the rod and the length of the curtains you are planning to hang
  2. Holding the curtain rod brackets in place mark the screw holes on each side of the window in the appropriate spot.  For longer rods you may have hangers in the middle which can be marked after you install the 2 outer  supports and temporarily install the rod.  
  3. Install the brackets with  wood screws and a battery powered screw driver if you have studs or framing lumber up to about 4”  horizontally from the inside of the window.
  4. Fasten the brackets using screw in wall anchors if there are no studs in the wall.
