Hi all

Is it usual these days to fit wood batons and then screw curtain rails to
these, or mount the rail direct on the wall?
Does that depend on the curtain rail fixing, or maybe on the curtain itself?

There were batons in place when I started the refurb of
hall/stairs/landing - these appeared to be a bit of rough roofing laith
(1970s top quality construction again)! So I was glad to get rid .
