Match each curtain to its window and measure long rails in their packed form before loading.
Decide which window coverings fit the new home
Record the width and drop of each curtain and the length of the rail, including finials or joiners that will stay attached. Compare those measurements with the new windows and check whether the curtains need alterations. A pair of fabric panels moving from Givatayim to Ramat Gan may be reusable even if the old rail is too short. If you rent, confirm with the owner which fixtures belong to the property. For fixed or motorised systems, agree separately who will take them down. Photograph the location of brackets and mark the panels, rail and fittings with the same window number. Give the crew the longest packed length so they can check turns, lift openings and available space in the vehicle.
Pack fabric and long parts separately
Keep dry curtains away from dirty hardware and anything that could snag them. Ask the cleaner or maker how to fold or roll a delicate fabric and keep lined panels together. Put runners, end stops and brackets in a closed labelled bag with a matching note on the rail bundle. Protect projecting ends and tell the team if a track must stay straight. At delivery, have the crew put the long pieces in a clear area instead of leaning them in a doorway. Match every bundle to its label before the installer arrives. Check the new wall, ceiling and mounting points with the installer, especially if the old brackets will be reused. A temporary covering can provide privacy while alterations or installation are pending.
