FAQs
What is the diameter of this curtain pole?
The diameter of this curtain pole is 28mm.
Does this curtain pole come with brackets and fixings?
Brackets and wall fixings are typically sold separately. Please check the product listing for details.
Can I cut this curtain pole to size?
This is a fixed-length curtain pole and is not designed to be cut. For custom lengths, you would need to consider an adjustable pole.
What happens if my window is wider than 210cm?
Poles longer than 210cm are supplied in two sections with a connector to join them securely in the middle.
What is the best way to clean the silver finish?
Clean the pole with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
Is this pole suitable for heavy curtains?
Yes, the metal construction and 28mm diameter make it suitable for most curtain weights, including heavier fabrics.
Troubleshooting
Pole sags in the middle
Ensure you are using the correct number of brackets for the pole's length. For poles over 210cm, the central connector must be secure. Consider adding an extra bracket if the span is particularly wide or the curtains are very heavy.
Brackets feel loose on the wall
Check that the correct wall fixings (plugs and screws) are being used for your specific wall type. Ensure they are fully tightened.
Finials are difficult to attach
Ensure the end of the pole is clean. If the finial has a screw fitting, ensure it is aligned correctly. For push-fit finials, apply firm, even pressure.
