Blackout lining, interlining and thick drapery fabric can result in a heavy curtain that requires special attention when selecting and installing the curtain rod. With the proper rod and brackets, these curtains can be hung by a homeowner, using her toolbox and a few drapery-installers' tricks. Choose a Rod Weigh the curtains. Divide the weight by the required rod width to get the amount of weight per foot and choose a rod, based on the manufacturer’s information, that will accommodate this weight.

For example, if the curtains weigh 50 pounds, and the required rod width is 12 feet, the rod must hold just over 4 pounds per foot. Purchase the recommended number of brackets for the length of the rod, based on the manufacturer’s information. Purchase the correct size and number of screws for the brackets and purchase the corresponding size of screw-in wall anchors, one for each screw used in the brackets. Read the rod manufacturer’s installation instructions to familiarize yourself with the rod components and how they attach to the brackets. Prepare for Installation Determine the distance from the floor to the top of the bracket. This is an arbitrary decision based on the length of the curtains and how they attach to the rod, information included in the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Divide the rod width by the number of brackets minus 1 to get the number of inches between brackets and mark the wall at the chosen height for the center of each bracket. Hold the bracket in one hand at the correct position on the wall.

Mark the screw holes with a self-erasing pencil held in your other hand. Install the Brackets Screw the anchors into the wall at each screw location. Place a piece of 2-sided tape on the back of the bracket and adhere it to the wall at the appropriate location, aligning the anchors behind the bracket screw holes. This holds the bracket in place while you insert the screws. Insert the screws into the anchors through the screw holes in the brackets and attach the rod to the bracket, per the manufacturer’s instructions. Hang the curtains on the rod. Tips and Suggestions Designers and decorators have access to specialty curtain rods, designed for heavy drapery, which are not readily available in retail outlets. If you use a self-erasing marking pencil to mark the walls, the marks will disappear within a day. If a round rod bows under the curtain weight, insert a square metal rod inside the round one and increase the number of brackets. Square rods are available through metal fabricators and many large home DIY stores and are available in sizes from as small as 1/8 inch.

A larger rod does not mean it will be stronger; it is the thickness of the rod and the weight of the curtain that determines whether the rod will bend or not. Inserting a rod inside will increase the strength of the round rod and is a fix that can be used after the chosen rod is mounted if the weight of the drapes causes the rod to bow. Check the wall for stud locations using a stud finder and install any brackets, wherever possible, directly into a stud. If attaching directly into a stud you do not need an anchor.

This wasted energy increases our heating bills as well as our carbon footprint, neither of which does anyone any good.

With this in mind, we designed the Kume curtain: a simple and inexpensive do-it-yourself insulating curtain that can help us save money, keep our homes cozier and be kinder to the environment. "Kume" in the language of the Mapuche people of Chile means "good." We feel that this name is well-deserved as the performance of these curtains is very "kume" indeed. The thermographic photograph shown above speaks for itself. It was taken early one winter morning and clearly shows that the window fitted with a Kume curtain is much cooler than the one fitted with a conventional decorative curtain - and is actually even cooler than the masonry wall. This can mean only one thing: instead of letting the heat seep out of the house, the Kume curtain keeps the heat in, where you need it.The benefits offered by Kume curtains are as follows:They lower heat losses through windows by 50 to 70%, and improve comfort by eliminating cold spots and drafts in rooms. In the first test homes fitted with Kume curtains, heating fuel consumption dropped by 25%.

The cost of the materials that are needed to make a Kume curtain typically ranges from US$ 1 to 1.5 per square foot. They are easy to make. Putting together a Kume curtain does not require great manual skills or much time. For example, assembling a 2x4 ft curtain takes less than two hours. The hardest part of making the curtains is cutting the panels straight and to size. If you use polar fleece for the panels, you don´t even need to hem the fabric, and the whole curtain can be assembled without a single stitch.Step 1: What is a Kume curtain?Show All ItemsIt is a roll-up curtain that is composed of four distinct layers.1) A front panel which acts as the first layer of insulation and seals the perimeter of the window opening when the curtain is closed. 2) A moisture barrier which prevents indoor humidity from reaching the window and condensing on the cold glass and window frame.3 & 4) Wooden battens which maintain the fabric stretched out and thereby ensure that the curtain fits tightly against both sides of the window opening.

The battens also create air pockets which further reduce heat losses hrough the curtain.5) A back panel which acts as the final layer of insulation and helps seal the perimeter of the window opening when the curtain is closed.The reasons why a Kume curtain is so effective in reducing heat losses through windows are:Still air is one of the best insulators found in nature, and the Kume curtain contains a lot of it. First, between the fibers of the thick polar fleece that is used to make the curtain, and second inside the thin spaces that are created etween the front and back panels by the battens. When closed, the Kume curtain fits tightly against the top, bottom and sides of the window opening. By doing so it traps a layer of insulating air between the glass and the curtain, and prevents the cold air that forms against the lass from seeping into the room. A Kume curtain basically works just like a good down jacket on a cold winter day. The air that is trapped in the thick layer of down creates an effective insulating layer, and the tight fit of the jacket around your waist, neck and wrists keeps your body heat in, rather than letting it leak out into the cold environment.«
