With all the hardware required secured, and with the help of tofu-man, we move forward with the install.
First thing is to install the brackets. There were three brackets installed and these hold the suspension rail system.
Kvartal brackets (x3) installled. This is the wall-mounted option.
The actual rail system came in a 55" fixed length. I had to get two of these, and then we cut them to make a 63 1/4" lenght. Cutting the rail (made of aluminum) required the use of a hacksaw. We tried the dremel, but then the hacksaw was a better option. Since I didn't have one, to Home Depot we went, and also got other things (screws, etc...and stuff).
The hacksaw cuttinng was perfect and the measurents 'exact'. The rail and brackets lined up and installed without incident and looked like the real thing. The system was designed to be 'cut to size' and includes attachment brackets that allow you to connect the cut pieces together.
Kvartal suspension rail intalled. This is the 3-rail option, to hold three panel curtains.
Let's see how we do with the actual panel install in the next blog...stay tuned!
Cheers! :-)
