At Shimmerchains, we know that seamless installation is just as important as stunning design. That’s why we offer a flexible, user-friendly range of installation options that make our aluminium chain curtains easy to fit across commercial, hospitality, retail and residential interiors — no matter the project size or layout.
Whether you're designing a hotel lobby, restaurant partition, retail display, or private feature wall, our hanging chain systems can be adapted to suit your space with elegance and precision.
All Shimmerchains installations start with a choice between two main bar types: Straight and Curved.
However, both of these base options are just the starting point. When working with clients, we always upgrade to our premium Plus versions — Straight Plus or Curtain Plus — at no additional cost. These concealed-fix systems not only look better but offer added durability and a higher-end finish. It’s our way of delivering exceptional value without compromise.
Once you've chosen your bar, there are several fixing types available — depending on your structure, aesthetic goals and spacing needs.
The most direct method, this mounts the bar flush to a wall surface. Best for when chains need to sit close against a solid backdrop — such as a feature wall or display area.
This adds a 32mm gap between the wall and the chain bar, creating depth and dimensionality. Great for lighting effects or visual layering in modern interiors.
Ideal for when chains need to fall cleanly from above. This option mounts the bar directly to the ceiling and works well for room dividers, entrance screens, or overhead partitions.
Here, the bar is suspended 102mm from the ceiling — a great choice for achieving a floating effect or aligning with other design elements like bulkheads, lighting, or HVAC systems.
Our most customisable installation type. Using steel cables, the bar can be suspended at any distance from the ceiling. It’s a favourite for architects and designers looking to create dramatic overhead installations or layered zones in large-volume spaces.
Not sure what installation type suits your space? Our project managers are here to advise and recommend the best configuration — balancing aesthetic impact, structural needs and ease of installation.
While Shimmerchains doesn’t offer in-house fitting, we’ll happily connect you with trusted third-party installers in most major cities.
