Rods from AED 100 per window
Curtains only look right when the rod or track is at the right height, level, and strong enough for the fabric. We fit all three systems on walls, ceilings and gypsum pelmet boxes, then hang your curtains so they fall straight to the floor.
Rods and Tracks
Blackout curtains are heavy, and they are pulled open and closed every day. That puts constant stress on the brackets, which is why so many rods in Dubai apartments sag or pull out of gypsum within a year.
We match the fixing to the surface, space brackets to suit the fabric weight and set the rod high and wide so the room feels larger. Rods, tracks and bendable rails are all fitted in one visit.
A round pole in metal or wood that sits on wall brackets above the window. Curtains hang from eyelets, rings or tabs, and the finials at each end add a decorative finish.
A slim aluminium channel with sliding carriers or gliders inside. It suits pleated and wave-style curtains and can be fixed to the ceiling, a pelmet box or the wall.
A bendable track that can follow a bay window or wrap around a corner. It is shaped on site to the exact angle of the glass, so the curtain runs in one continuous line.
Measure the window frame, then add 15 to 25 cm on each side. Open curtains then stack on the wall instead of covering the glass. Wider rods also make a small window look larger.
Fix the rod 10 to 15 cm above the frame, or halfway between the frame and the ceiling. Mounting higher makes the room feel taller. Check that a concrete lintel or a solid fixing point sits at that height.
For floor to ceiling glass, common in Dubai Marina and Downtown towers, a ceiling track gives a clean line and blocks more light at the top. It fixes into a concrete slab, a gypsum ceiling or a recessed curtain pocket.
Measure from the rod or track to the floor and decide if you want the fabric to kiss the floor or sit 1 cm above it. A small gap keeps the hem clean from sand and dust. Give this finished drop to your curtain maker.
Not sure? We measure on the day and confirm the position with you before drilling.
Blackout curtains are heavy, and in Dubai almost every bedroom has them. A full-length blackout panel with a lining can weigh several kilos, and a wide window may carry four of them. That weight pulls on the brackets every time the curtains are drawn, which is why cheap plastic plugs in gypsum often work loose within a year.
We match the fixing to the surface. Concrete lintels above villa windows take expansion plugs. Gypsum pelmet boxes and dropped ceilings take cavity anchors or a fix into the metal channel behind the board. For long ceiling tracks we add a bracket roughly every 60 to 80 cm so the track stays straight under load.
Ripple fold curtains need a track with the correct carrier spacing, and pinch pleats need hooks set at the right height so the heading hides the track. Sheer and blackout layers usually sit on a double track or a double rod. If your windows run across a whole wall, read our guide to ceiling-mounted tracks in Dubai.
This service is part of our wider curtain installation in Dubai, which also covers blinds, motorised curtains and rental-friendly no-drill rods.
Pricing Guide
Rods, tracks and rails are priced by window width and fixing surface. Bay windows and long ceiling runs are quoted separately because they need extra brackets.

Tools and Materials
Metal, wood and brass poles with finials for eyelet and ring-top curtains. They suit windows with wall space above them. Diameters are matched to the curtain weight.
Slim tracks with smooth gliders for pinch pleat and wave curtains. They can be wall or ceiling mounted. Long tracks get extra brackets so they never sag.
Flexible rails bent on site to follow bay windows and corners. Gliders run all the way around the curve. They are ideal for angled windows in villas.
Steel brackets with multiple fixing holes for wide windows and heavy fabric. Centre supports stop long rods bending. They are fixed into concrete or studs wherever possible.
Based in Al Barsha since 2014, we work across every Dubai community with trade-specialist technicians and a workmanship guarantee on every job.
We explain the difference and recommend what suits your curtain heading and window. Eyelets go on rods, waves go on tracks and bays get rails. You pay for the right hardware, not the most expensive one.
Rods are fitted above and beyond the frame so open curtains clear the glass. Rooms look taller and windows look larger. Daylight is not blocked by stacked fabric.
Brackets are set to a laser line rather than measured from a sloping ceiling. The rod or track sits perfectly level across the window. Hems then hang evenly from one side to the other.
Dust sheets go down before drilling and every offcut is taken away. Every job carries our workmanship guarantee. If a fixing we made works loose, we come back and correct it.
Fitting a rod or track you already own starts from AED 100 for a standard window up to 2 metres. Wider windows, ceiling tracks across full glass walls and motorised tracks cost more. Hanging the curtains themselves is included when we fit the rod or track in the same visit. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
We measure the window, agree the height and overhang with you, find a solid fixing point, drill and fit the brackets, level the rod or track, hang the curtains and check that they open and close smoothly. Fixings, plugs and the clean-up are included.
For a typical two-bedroom apartment with four to six windows, fitting rods or tracks and hanging the curtains usually costs between AED 400 and AED 750 in labour. We confirm the price once we know the number of windows and the type of fixing. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
A single curtain rod takes about 20 to 30 minutes to fit and hang. A full apartment usually takes two to four hours depending on how many windows there are and whether the tracks go on the ceiling.
Yes. Many Dubai apartments have a gypsum pelmet box or a dropped ceiling above the windows. We fix into the metal channels above the board or use rated cavity anchors, and for heavy blackout curtains we add extra fixing points so the track does not sag.
