Hi- I’ve a 2 track curtain rod (ikea) I want to install on a cement wall.
How do I do it? What equipment (tools) do I need and what sort of screws should I use?
Thank you!
Judith
Hi @Judith2,
It would likely be best to enquire with supplier as to how their product is designed to be attached to a cement wall. You'll want to make sure that's an option. I presume the included fixings only allow it to be connected to timber studs?
Without knowing more about the bracket's design and included fixings, I would suggest that a STAHL Masonry Kit 7mm Drill With 50mm Green Wall Plugs would work in most circumstances. You drill holes in the required location with a hammer drill and insert the plugs, which can be encouraged into place with a hammer. Once the plugs are installed, you can offer up the brackets and use the provided timber screws to install them.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Mitchell
Thanks, Mitchell- that should work! Cheers, Judith
