How to Install Metal Curtain Grommets

When it comes to hanging curtains, grommets are perfect for home décor because they look stylish and are simple to install and hang. Creating your own window treatments from our wide array of fabrics and grommets guarantees a custom style that will work in any home. Here we'll be illustrating how to install metal curtain grommets using the Sailrite® HandyPress. 

The HandyPress makes easy work of cutting holes and installing curtain grommets in your curtain header. We recommend spacing curtain grommets about 6-1/2" apart for the best-looking grommet curtains. 

Our metal curtain grommets come in two sizes — 2" and 1-9/16" — and are available in four stylish finishes: nickel, black, brass and antique. Made from brass, these grommets are incredibly sturdy and built to last, making them ideal for curtains of any weight. Their professional appearance adds an elegant touch to your window treatments.

Watch the demo video below to see how easy it is to install metal curtain grommets using the HandyPress tool and W-1 grommet dies. The six included adapters, designed specifically for the HandyPress, are compatible with other hand-press dies on the market. This makes the HandyPress the most versatile hand press on the market.
