Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Determine the desired placement for your curtain pole, ensuring it extends beyond the window frame by at least 15-20cm on each side to allow curtains to stack back fully.
- Mark the positions for the mounting brackets, ensuring they are level. Typically, brackets are placed approximately 10-15cm from the ends of the pole and at intervals in between for longer poles.
- Using appropriate drill bits for your wall type (e.g., masonry or plasterboard), drill pilot holes.
- Insert wall plugs if necessary, and securely fix the brackets to the wall using the provided screws.
- Place the curtain pole into the brackets. If your pole is over 210cm and supplied in two sections, connect the sections securely before placing on brackets.
- Add your curtains, ensuring they are threaded onto the pole or attached via rings.
Compatibility:
This curtain pole is compatible with most types of curtains, including eyelet, grommet, pencil pleat, and tab-top styles, provided appropriate curtain rings or hooks are used. It is suitable for mounting on plasterboard, brick, and other common wall surfaces, provided the correct fixings are used. The 28mm diameter is designed to accommodate standard curtain rings and accessories.
Care:
To maintain the finish, wipe the metal pole and finials with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the silver coating or the glass bubbles. Periodically check that the mounting brackets remain secure.
