Hello,

I'm planning to install a curtain rail on the ceiling, but I'm unsure if it's possible and how to proceed.

Most of the ceiling is concrete, but when I tap near the facade, it sounds like a lighter material.
Somewhere between gypsum and wood in sound.
I found a detail from the building permit (from 1945) that indicates a 50 mm träullsplatta (wood-wool slab) on the underside of the concrete in that area. (see attached detail)

Does anyone have experience with this?
Can I attach the curtain rail to the träullsplatta, or is there a risk that it's too porous?
If it's possible, which drill and plug are recommended to use?

Thanks in advance!

It is not possible to fasten into the träullsplattan, so you have to fasten into the concrete behind.

Thank you for the answer!

I checked with neighbors and the property manager, and the response was that it shouldn't be any problem to attach to the wood wool board.

In theory, it sounds strange, but I have to trust the experiences from the area.
It must be some board with relatively high density and not so porous.
We'll see if it falls down :)
