How to Hang a Sliding Curtain From a Cement Ceiling

Hanging curtain rods from the ceiling allows you to save space and position curtains even in the middle of a room. You can use the curtains as a divider or to cover a large window that doesn't have room for a curtain rod on the wall. The curtains are completely functional, will hang down and slide open and closed as needed. Use a curtain rod system that is designed to be mounted on the ceiling for one that looks the best and hangs naturally.

Masking or painter's tape
Measuring tape
Ceiling-mounted track system
Masonry bits
Hammer drill
Goggles
Dust mask
Masonry screws

Instructions

- 1
  Mark on the ceiling where you want the curtain to hang with masking or painter's tape.
- 2
  Hold the curtain track in position on the ceiling and mark on the tape where each screw needs to be installed.
- 3
  Pre-drill the holes for the brackets, supplied with the track system, with a masonry bit and hammer drill. Use a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the screws to be installed. Wear goggles and a dust mask to protect yourself from air-borne concrete particles.
- 4
  Screw the track into the ceiling with masonry screws. The track system will need screws at intervals along the track. Continue screwing them in until they are all in position.
- 5
  Hook the curtain onto the track with curtain hooks or existing hooks.
- 6
  Remove any tape if the track system didn't cover it all.
