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?

Batons were the answer when folks didn't have an SDS to drill into the
tough concrete lintel which often presented itself nastily at the exact
point where the curtain pole mounts were to go.
