FAQs
What is the minimum and maximum length of this curtain pole?
The curtain pole is extendable, with a minimum length of 170 cm and a maximum length of 300 cm.
What type of curtains is this pole best suited for?
It is primarily designed for heading taped curtains. You can remove the included plastic rings to use it with tab top or eyelet curtains.
Does the pole come with all necessary mounting hardware?
The set includes the curtain pole, finials, plastic fixed wall supports, and plastic curtain rings. Wall screws and plugs are typically not included as they depend on your wall type.
Can this pole be used for heavy blackout curtains?
While the pole is made of steel, it is best suited for light to medium weight curtains. For heavy curtains, especially when extended to its maximum length, we recommend adding an extra central support bracket.
What is the diameter of the curtain pole?
The diameter of the curtain pole is between 16mm and 19mm.
How do I clean the curtain pole?
Wipe the pole and finials with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
Are the curtain rings metal or plastic?
The included curtain rings are made of unlined plastic.
Troubleshooting
Pole is sagging in the middle.
For light to medium curtains, ensure supports are evenly spaced. For heavier curtains or longer spans, install an additional central support bracket (sold separately).
Curtain rings are difficult to slide.
Ensure the pole surface is clean and free of debris. Check that the rings are not damaged or warped. Lightly dust the inside of the rings with talcum powder if needed.
Finials are loose.
Check if the finials are screwed on securely. Some finials may have a set screw for tightening; consult specific instructions if available.
Support brackets do not feel secure.
Ensure you are using appropriate wall fixings for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick). If necessary, use stronger wall plugs or consult a professional for mounting advice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the desired pole length by extending it to fit your window width, ensuring it overlaps the frame by at least 15-20 cm on each side.
- Mark the wall for the support brackets, ensuring they are level and at appropriate distances to support the curtain weight (typically 60-80 cm apart for standard windows, closer for heavier curtains).
- Install the plastic fixed wall supports using appropriate screws and wall plugs for your wall type (not included).
- Slide the curtain rings onto the pole.
- Attach the crown cage finials to each end of the pole.
- Place the pole onto the installed supports.
Compatibility:
- Curtain Types: Best suited for heading taped curtains. Rings can be removed to accommodate tab top or eyelet curtains.
- Weight: Ideal for light to medium weight curtains. For heavier curtains, consider additional central support.
Care:
- Wipe the pole and finials with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish.
