Layering Curtains on Brick Walls: Double the Style, Double the Function

Brick walls are tough - literally and figuratively. They're cold in winter, hot in summer, and sometimes you want privacy while keeping that gorgeous brick visible. That's where layering comes in.

Step 1 - INSTALL A DUAL-TRACK SYSTEM

Set up a double curtain rod or dual-track system above your brick wall windows. This lets you hang two different curtain styles - heavy curtains for drama and light sheers for gentle filtering.
