Curtain installation
Tracks, curtains and blinds, fitted by us
Price on visit
If a track has pulled out of the ceiling or new curtains need hanging, curtain installation in Dubai starts with what the track is fixed into. Gypsum board on its own isn't made to hold a lined curtain's weight. We fit tracks, curtains and blinds, and measure for new ones at a free home visit. For repairs, send photos first.
Last updated
Check the ceiling cove first: a track is often hidden there already, and it takes curtains whose heading suits its gliders. Blinds from your last flat usually refit only a recess of the same size. We fix every track and blind with screws and don't fit no-drill systems, so get the landlord's permission to drill first.
Take the curtains off first, so their weight stops pulling at the board. Gypsum crumbles round a screw that has pulled out, so the same hole rarely holds again. The refit needs new holes beside the old ones.
Before anything is fixed, hold one panel up where the track will sit and see where the hem lands. Under tall glass it can end above the floor. If it falls short or trails, have it altered first.
For double-height glass, our fitters bring scaffolding, so tell us the ceiling height when you call. The scaffolding is charged separately. A curtain that long is hard work to draw by hand; a motor does it for you.
One quote names the track and the other doesn't, and only one includes taking the old track down. Ask both fitters to price the track, the fitting, work at height and removal separately, then compare them line by line.
A track in a ceiling cove
We fit and repair curtains, tracks and blinds, including ones you bought elsewhere. We don't clean curtains.
Sheer by day
Lined at night
Two layers on a double track
On the ceiling, inside a ceiling cove or on the wall; single, or double for two layers.
Hung with even folds, then drawn end to end to check they run freely.
Inside the window recess or on the wall above it.
Child-safe controls, fitted on request; tell us if a child uses the room.
The old track is replaced with a motorized one; a wired motor needs a power point at the track.
Pleats hanging from a row of gliders
The small runners that carry each hook; new ones stop the curtain catching.
A slipping chain, or a blind that won't stay up, usually means a worn chain or the part it turns; the fabric can be kept.
One side rising lower than the other is a sign the cords need resetting.
Slats that fall off often have a worn clip at the top. New clips, same slats.
On curtains and blinds, including ones another company installed.
An eyelet curtain slides along a pole, not a track. Wave curtains need a track; pinch pleats can take either, on gliders or on pole rings.

What each heading hangs from
| Track or pole | Suits | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Ceiling track | Floor-to-ceiling glass, two layers, a motor | Curtains made for the full ceiling-to-floor drop |
| Track in a ceiling cove | A cove already built over the glass | Depth for a second track, if you want two layers |
| Wall track | Concrete above the window, or a low ceiling | Light over the top if it sits well below the ceiling |
| Pole | Eyelet curtains, or pinch pleats on rings | On a wide pole, the rings can't pass the middle bracket |
| Curved track | Bay and corner windows | A tight corner may need two tracks |
Before a track goes up, check what will hold it, what the building needs on fitting day, and whether your tenancy contract limits drilling. That goes for curtains from our workshop, blinds and curtains you bought.
Curtains moving with you from another home may need shortening or lengthening before they go back up; check their length against the curtain sizes guide. For other jobs, see the rest of our services.
A track fixed tight to a gypsum ceiling
The Curtains Dubai measures at a free home visit, makes curtains and blinds in its own workshop, and installs them itself.
Hung in even folds
Photograph the whole window, then the bracket or track end up close. Add the ceiling height, and tell us if you rent.
At the window, we agree the track, how high it sits and where each layer hangs. Measuring for new curtains or blinds is free anywhere in Dubai, and we bring samples to see in your room's light. Fitting or repairing what you own is a paid call-out, talked through on the phone first. A deposit confirms the order.
New curtains or blinds go up 3 working days after approval; big or complicated jobs take longer. Clear the sill and floor below each window: drilling gypsum scatters fine dust. Draw each curtain and run each blind before the fitter leaves. Your photos and the visit settle each window's track or pole, and what needs altering first.
Anything else, ask on the phone: 050 257 7765
Fitters in Dubai may charge per window, per track or per metre. Curtains and blinds we make include fitting in their price. For ones you already own, our charge depends on the job, with a minimum call-out charge of 500. Our written quote prices each window separately, each part on its own line, and holds for 30 days.
An uneven curtain usually has one of three causes: a track that isn't level, hooks set at different heights, or a hem or floor that isn't straight. Levelling the track and resetting the hooks cures the first two. The third needs the hem altered.
A single ceiling track carries one layer, so a sheer and a blackout curtain that open separately need a double track or two tracks side by side. The sheer usually hangs on the window side. A blind in the recess can stay if the track sits far enough forward for the curtain to clear it.
We take down tracks, poles and blinds when you move out, but filling the holes and painting are not part of our work. Each fixing leaves a hole; in gypsum, it is filled, sanded and painted to match the ceiling. Ask the landlord or the building which ceiling paint was used.
The fitter, if their workmanship warranty covers fixings and is still valid. Without one in writing, you usually pay to refix the track and repair the ceiling. Ask what the warranty covers before you accept the quote. We give a 2-year warranty on our workmanship; after the job, contact the salesperson who handled your order.
