Product Information

Full details

The GoodHome Kilmos Extendable Curtain Pole Set is designed for homeowners seeking a bold, contemporary aesthetic for their windows. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-end design with heavy-duty performance, suitable for modern interiors and heavier curtains. A potential caveat is the gloss finish, which may show fingerprints more readily than a matte surface. This extendable pole features a striking gloss black nickel effect, sleek bullet-shaped finials, and a durable 28mm diameter, offering both style and robust support.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight the GoodHome Kilmos curtain pole can hold?

While specific weight limits are not provided, the 28mm diameter and heavy-duty design are intended for standard to heavier curtains. It is recommended to use adequate bracket support, especially for very dense or large curtains.

Does the set include wall fixings?

The set typically includes the curtain pole, finials, and brackets. However, specific wall fixings (screws and wall plugs) suitable for all wall types are often sold separately, as wall materials vary.

How do I clean the gloss black nickel finish?

Clean the pole using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or dull the gloss surface.

What is the minimum and maximum length of this pole?

The pole is extendable, with a minimum length of 1200mm (1.2 meters) and a maximum length of 2100mm (2.1 meters).

Can this pole be used for eyelet curtains?

Yes, the 28mm diameter is suitable for most curtain heading types, including eyelet curtains.

Is the black nickel effect a true black or more of a dark grey?

The 'black nickel effect' typically refers to a dark metallic finish with a subtle sheen, often appearing as a very dark grey with hints of metallic black, designed to look contemporary.

How are the finials attached?

The bullet-shaped finials are usually attached via a screw mechanism at the end of the pole, allowing for secure fitting.

Troubleshooting

Curtain pole sags in the middle.

Ensure the brackets are installed at the correct spacing for the weight of the curtains. For longer spans or very heavy curtains, consider adding an extra bracket in the center. Verify that the pole is fully extended and locked, or consider if the span exceeds the optimal range for the curtain weight.

Finials are loose.

Check if the finials have a screw fitting and tighten them gently. If they are push-fit, ensure they are fully seated on the end of the pole.

Pole is difficult to extend or retract.

Ensure there are no obstructions. Gently twist and slide the pole. If the finish is uneven or there's debris, wipe the inner and outer pole sections with a damp cloth and try again.

Brackets feel unstable.

Re-check the wall fixings. Ensure you have used appropriate anchors for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard plugs, masonry plugs) and that they are securely installed. The pole must be firmly seated on the brackets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  4. Assemble Pole: Extend the inner pole to the desired length and secure it.
  5. Mount Pole: Place the assembled pole onto the installed brackets.
  6. Attach Finials: Secure the bullet-shaped finials to each end of the pole.

  • Wall Types: Requires suitable wall fixings (not included) appropriate for the mounting surface.

Care:
