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.


Just what I were gonna say.
