Installed to Hang Straight and Operate Smoothly

Drapery Installation in Irvine

Draperies that hang crooked, drag when opened, or leave gaps along the edges fail because of poor installation rather than poor materials. In Irvine, where windows vary in age, size, and framing, proper installation requires attention to mounting height, bracket placement, and rod alignment. Eldon Drapery & Blind Service installs draperies with a focus on fit, alignment, and smooth operation, whether you are replacing outdated treatments or installing new panels for the first time.

The team handles both new installations and replacements using existing hardware, and has decades of experience working with modern, older, and discontinued drapery systems. Whether the window is standard or unusually shaped, the draperies are installed to withstand daily use and prolonged light exposure. Brackets are secured to studs or blocking, rods are leveled precisely, and panels are adjusted so they close completely without bunching or gapping.

Schedule professional drapery installation in Irvine with Eldon Drapery & Blind Service to make sure your treatments function as intended from the start.

What Proper Mounting and Alignment Look Like

Installation begins with measuring the window opening and identifying stud locations or blocking in Irvine homes to ensure brackets hold securely under the weight of the fabric. Rods are leveled with precision tools, and mounting hardware is placed so the draperies clear the window frame and hang evenly from end to end. Rings or carriers are spaced to prevent sagging, and panels are adjusted so they stack neatly when open.

Once installed, you will notice the draperies glide along the rod without resistance, close completely without gaps, and hang straight from ceiling to floor. The fabric will not drag on the sill, bunch at the corners, or shift out of alignment when opened repeatedly. You will also see that the hardware remains firmly attached even with daily use, and the draperies maintain their appearance without sagging or tilting over time.

Eldon Drapery & Blind Service installs draperies in both residential and commercial properties and can work with motorized systems, traverse rods, or decorative hardware. If you are replacing panels and want to keep the existing brackets, the installation is adjusted to fit what is already in place. Discontinued or older systems are also handled with the same attention to alignment and operation.

You Are Not the Only One Asking These

Installing draperies involves decisions about hardware, mounting location, and panel handling, and most people have practical questions before scheduling the work.

What does professional installation include?
Professional installation includes bracket mounting, rod alignment, panel hanging, and adjustment to ensure smooth operation and even coverage. Hardware is secured to studs or blocking for long-term stability.
How long does drapery installation take?
Most installations are completed within a few hours, depending on the number of windows and complexity of the hardware. Larger or commercial projects may take longer.
What if I want to keep my existing rods or hardware?
Eldon Drapery & Blind Service can install new draperies using your current hardware as long as it is in good condition and properly aligned. The installation is adjusted to fit what is already mounted.
Why does mounting height matter?
Mounting height affects how the draperies hang, how much light they block, and how the window appears visually. Installing the rod higher and wider than the window frame makes the opening look larger and reduces light gaps along the edges.
What happens if the draperies are installed in a commercial property in Irvine?
Commercial installations follow the same process but may involve coordinating multiple rooms, working with heavier fabrics, or integrating motorized controls. Eldon Drapery & Blind Service handles both residential and commercial projects.
