Common Questions About Hard to Reach Windows Curtains
Find answers to frequently asked questions about installing and maintaining curtains for staircase windows.
How do I measure for a custom curtain installation on a vaulted ceiling?
For vaulted ceilings, you'll need to take multiple measurements. Start by measuring the width of your window at its widest point. Then, measure the height from the point where you'll mount the rod to where you want the curtain to end. For angled ceilings, measure both the shortest and tallest heights. Our custom curtain installation specialists can help you determine the best approach for your specific architecture.
Is it safe to install curtains on staircase alone?
While it's possible to install curtains on staircase by yourself, we recommend having an assistant hold the ladder and hand you tools. Always use proper safety equipment and follow our installation guide for best results.
What is the best fabric for installing curtains on stairs?
When installing curtains on stairs, we recommend lightweight to medium-weight fabrics that won't collect excessive dust (which can be difficult to clean in high areas). Our linen-polyester blends and solar fabrics are particularly well-suited for staircase windows, offering a balance of light control, easy maintenance, and elegant draping.
