It's a problem that many of us know all too well: hanging curtain rods, which is often associated with drilling and screwing on the walls. As a result of the laboriously done work, but not infrequently unsightly holes are found in the walls. Since not everyone has the possibility to drill in rented apartments or in sensitive surfaces, there are now extremely practical curtain rods without drilling, with which you can easily and without damage to attach curtains.
In this article, learn all about the advantages of such curtain rods, their areas of application and how you can attach your curtain yourself without drilling in just a few steps and without any hand tools.
What are the most popular ways to hang curtains without drilling?
For those who want to attach their curtains entirely without the use of drilling tools, there are two main popular types of alternative curtain rods: Telescopic rods and adhesive systems.
Telescopic rods are true all-rounders when it comes to attaching a curtain rod without drilling and without much effort. They can be easily stretched between two walls or frames and, thanks to rubberized feet, provide a stable base for light to medium-weight curtains. Once such a telescopic rod is fixed in the desired location, a curtain without drilling brings balcony door, window & Co. in no time to shine.
In comparison, there are also variants according to the system "curtain rod glue instead of drilling", which are an alternative especially for smaller windows and light curtains. However, it should be noted that such adhesive systems have some disadvantages compared to telescopic poles due to their method of attachment. One reason for this is that adhesive systems depend on the nature of the surface. They adhere best to smooth surfaces such as plastic frames or plastered walls, but where residue may remain when removed or the substrates may even be damaged.
How does a telescopic curtain rod work?
A telescopic twist-out rod for curtains, which is installed without drilling, consists mainly of two main components: an inner rod and an outer sleeve. The inner rod is narrower and can be slid into the outer sleeve. The inner rod is rotated by mechanical tension. This creates the necessary pressure between the telescopic rod as well as the surrounding surface, which securely fixes the suspended curtains in place without drilling.
