Fitting tensioning cord systems for curtains and light fixtures

Tensioning cord systems are ideal for fitting curtains and light fixtures. To ensure that the tensioning system sits firm and secure, there are a few things you should observe.

Instructions

Tensioning cord systems are ideal for fitting curtains and light fixtures. However, simple expansion plugs are not sufficient to guarantee that the tensioning cord sits firm and secure. Use what are known as injection systems – they can easily withstand the enormous tensile forces produced during tensioning.

1. After drilling, insert a mesh sleeve into the drilled hole.

2. Now inject the grout from the cartridge into the drilled hole by turning it a few times. Then turn the fitting part, e.g. a threaded bolt, into the filling.

3. Leave the mixture to harden. After approximately an hour, it is as firm as concrete and completely able to bear load.

4. Now you can mount your tensioning cord and fit your curtains or light fixtures.
