FAQs
What is the diameter of this curtain pole?
The diameter of this curtain pole is 28mm.
What colour is the finish?
The finish is Black Nickel.
Can I cut this pole to a custom length?
This is a fixed-length pole and is not designed to be cut. If you require a specific length, it is recommended to purchase a pole that more closely matches your needs or consider adjustable poles.
What happens if my window is wider than 210cm?
Poles longer than 210cm are supplied in two sections that join together in the middle.
Are the mounting brackets and fixings included?
The mounting brackets are typically included, but wall fixings (screws and wall plugs) are usually sold separately, as the correct type depends on your wall material.
How do I clean the Black Nickel finish?
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the finish.
Is this pole suitable for heavy curtains?
The metal construction and 28mm diameter make it suitable for medium to heavy curtains. For very heavy or multiple layers of curtains, additional support brackets might be beneficial.
Troubleshooting
Curtain pole sags in the middle.
Ensure all brackets are securely fastened to the wall. If the pole is over 210cm, check that the two sections are properly joined. For very heavy curtains or long spans, consider adding an additional central support bracket (sold separately).
Brackets feel loose on the wall.
The wall fixings (screws and wall plugs) may not be suitable for your wall type or may have been improperly installed. Remove the bracket, check the wall plug, and re-secure using appropriate fixings for your wall material.
Difficulty sliding curtain rings.
Ensure the curtain rings are the correct size for the 28mm pole diameter. Check for any burrs or imperfections on the pole or the rings. A silicone spray or lubricant can sometimes help improve glide, but use sparingly.
The two pole sections do not join securely.
Ensure the internal joining mechanism is correctly aligned and fully inserted. Tighten any securing screws associated with the join if applicable. If the join remains unstable, contact the manufacturer.
