FAQs
What is the diameter of the wooden curtain pole?
The product description highlights a 'substantial diameter' providing excellent strength, suitable for medium to heavy curtains, though the exact measurement is not specified. Please refer to the product packaging or contact the retailer for precise dimensions.
Can this pole be cut to a shorter length?
While wood can be cut, doing so may affect the finial attachment and the structural integrity of the pole, potentially voiding any warranty. It is generally recommended to use the pole as provided or purchase a different size if needed.
How do I clean the cream finish?
Clean the wooden curtain pole with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the smooth chalk white finish.
What is included in the complete kit?
The complete kit includes the wooden curtain pole, decorative finials, necessary brackets for mounting, and all the required fittings and fixings for installation.
Is this suitable for very heavy blackout curtains?
Yes, the substantial diameter and robust wooden construction are designed to support medium to heavy weight curtains, which often includes blackout fabrics.
Can I join two 90cm poles together for a wider window?
While not explicitly designed for joining, it is physically possible. However, ensure you use a secure joining mechanism and potentially add extra support brackets in the middle to prevent sagging.
What is the colour of the cream finish?
The finish is described as a smooth 'chalk white', suggesting a soft, matte, off-white or pale cream tone.
Troubleshooting
Pole sags in the middle
Ensure the brackets are spaced correctly and securely fastened. For heavier curtains or longer spans, consider adding an additional central bracket or using a longer pole with more support points.
Difficulty sliding curtains
Ensure the pole's diameter is suitable for your curtain rings or eyelets. Check for any burrs or imperfections on the pole or rings; a light application of silicone spray on the pole can sometimes help.
Fittings seem loose on the wall
Re-evaluate the wall type and ensure you are using the correct type of wall plugs and screws. If the holes are too large, you may need to fill them and re-drill, or use larger fixings suitable for your wall material.
Finials are loose
Check how the finials are attached to the pole. Some may screw on, while others might have a grub screw. Tighten any screws or ensure the fit is secure. If threaded, check the threads for damage.

Pros
- Durable and robust wooden construction ensures longevity.
- Complete kit simplifies installation with all fittings included.
- Elegant chalk white finish suits diverse decor styles.
- Suitable for supporting heavier curtain fabrics.
- Provides a stylish and elegant finishing touch to windows.
Cons
- The 90cm length may be insufficient for wider windows, potentially requiring extensions or multiple poles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack all components to ensure everything is present: pole, finials, brackets, screws, and wall plugs.
- Determine the desired position for the pole, typically a few inches above the window frame.
- Mark the bracket positions on the wall, ensuring they are level and spaced appropriately for the curtain weight and pole length.
- Drill holes and insert wall plugs if necessary, especially in plasterboard.
- Securely attach the brackets to the wall using the provided screws.
- Slide the finials onto the ends of the pole and fix them if required by the design.
- Place the pole onto the brackets. Many brackets have a mechanism to secure the pole in place.
- Hang your curtains by threading them onto the pole or using the curtain rings.
Compatibility:
This curtain pole set is designed for use with most standard curtain types, including those with eyelets, tapes, or pencil pleats. Its robust design makes it suitable for medium to heavy weight curtains. For windows wider than 90cm, consider using multiple poles or a longer available option. Ensure wall fixings are appropriate for your wall type (e.g., brick, plasterboard, wood).
Care:
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the wood finish. Periodically check that the brackets remain securely fastened to the wall.
