FAQs
What is the diameter of the curtain pole?

Can this pole be cut to size?
This is a fixed-length pole and is not designed to be cut. For windows over 210cm, it is supplied in two sections.
What colour is the curtain pole?
The curtain pole has a brushed gold finish.
What type of curtains can I use with this pole?
The 28mm diameter makes it suitable for most curtain types, including those with eyelets, pencil pleats, or tabs, provided they use compatible rings or hooks.
How do I clean the brushed gold finish?
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Does the pole come with curtain rings?
This product typically includes the pole, finials, and brackets. Curtain rings are usually sold separately.
What happens if my window is wider than 210cm?
Poles longer than 210cm are supplied as two separate lengths that join together in the middle with an internal connector.
Troubleshooting
Curtain pole is sagging in the middle.
Ensure you have used the correct number of brackets for the pole length. For poles over 210cm, the central bracket must be precisely aligned with the join between the two pole sections to provide adequate support.
Finials won't stay on the pole.
Check if the finials have a set screw or method of attachment. Tighten any screws or ensure the finial is fully seated according to the product's specific design.
Difficulty sliding curtains.
Ensure the pole diameter is compatible with your curtain rings. Check for any burrs or obstructions inside the pole or on the rings. If the pole was supplied in two lengths, ensure the join is smooth.
Pole makes noise when curtains are moved.
This is often normal with metal poles. Ensure curtain rings are not worn and that the pole is securely mounted to prevent excessive vibration.
