Make the surface part of the installation plan.

The City’s Wicker Park District description highlights a variety of historic architectural styles and materials. For an indoor installation, a visible brick wall, a plaster surface, and drywall need different discussions about fastening. Include photos of the actual mounting area and tell the pro which decorative finishes should be protected.

Local context: Chicago Landmarks: Wicker Park District.

1. Measure each opening
Record window width, rod length, and available space around trim. Count windows separately, even when they appear to be the same size.
