Magnetic curtain rods are easy to install.

Using magnetic curtain rods to hang curtains on surfaces like steel or metal surfaces can save you the time of installation. All you need to do is hang your curtain and then just attach the magnetic curtain rod putting the magnetic surface against the metallic surface. Light sheers or light lace panels are ideal for use with magnetic curtain rods. Hang them on glass doors made with metallic frame to add privacy.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Go online and type in the words "magnetic curtain rods" on the search browser. You will see a list of sites or links to go to. Click on the links that will take you to online stores that carry or sell magnetic curtain rods. You can possibly omit talking on the phone if they sell them online.

  2. Step 2

    Check the yellow pages of your phone book and find numbers of businesses or stores that sell curtain rods. Then pick up the phone and ask if they sell magnetic curtain rods as well.

  3. Step 3

    Go to home improvement stores and then go to the windows section. Search the racks or shelves where they display curtain rods and find out if they have magnetic curtain rods.

  4. Step 4

    Go to department stores. Go to their section for the home, specifically the section where they sell window treatments. Check the racks and shelves for magnetic curtain rods.

  5. Step 5

    Ask the sales clerks if they sell any. If you go to home improvement stores and departments stores, it may be a bit overwhelming due to the huge number of inventories. If searching on your own is time consuming and yields nothing, do not despair, it maybe possible that they have it but you just could not find it. So asking in this case can help a lot.

  6. Step 6

    Go to drapery shops. There are places that sell or make custom draperies and may be selling magnetic curtain rods as well.

  7. Step 7

    Buy factory direct. Go to warehouses selling curtains, window accessories and curtain rods. Ask if they have magnetic curtain rods then buy from them. They can be cheaper than buying at retail shops.

  8. Step 8

    Check out the local ads from newspaper. Check home improvement and interior decorating books or magazines. Look at the resources page and find out the stores that sell curtain rods and get their information, then contact them.
