Full details
The Lister Cartwright 28mm Fixed Curtain Pole Set in Black is an ideal solution for homeowners seeking a sturdy, elegant foundation for their window treatments. This set is perfectly suited for those who prefer a reliable fixed-length design that accommodates various curtain weights, offering a sophisticated aesthetic through its included disc stopper finials. While it provides exceptional stability and style, users should note that the fixed-length nature of the pole requires precise wall-to-wall measurement prior to purchase, as it cannot be adjusted to fit different widths.

FAQs
Can this pole be cut to size?
While the pole is designed as a fixed length, it can be trimmed by a professional if you have the proper metal-cutting tools, though this is not recommended as it may affect the finish and finial attachment.
Does it come with enough rings?
The set includes a standard number of rings designed to match the 300 cm length; however, additional rings can be purchased separately if your curtain style requires a higher density.
Is this suitable for heavy curtains?
Yes, the 28mm diameter is specifically engineered to handle heavy curtain fabrics securely.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a drill, drill bits, a screwdriver, a pencil for marking, and a spirit level.
Can I use this for bay windows?
No, this is a fixed, straight curtain pole set and is not compatible with angled bay window setups.
Troubleshooting
Pole bowing in the center
For long spans like the 300 cm model, ensure a center support bracket is used if your configuration allows, or verify that the end brackets are firmly anchored into wall studs.
Curtain rings are sticking
Ensure the pole is clean and free of dust. You can apply a tiny amount of silicone lubricant to the pole if friction persists, though proper alignment of brackets usually resolves this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure your wall space is at least 300 cm wide and verify that the mounting surface can support the weight of the hardware and curtains. Use a spirit level to ensure brackets are perfectly aligned. To install, mark your bracket positions, drill pilot holes, and secure the brackets using the included assembly kit. To maintain the black finish, wipe down the pole periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these may scratch the powder-coated surface. If the pole feels loose over time, check that the bracket screws are tightened securely into the wall anchors.
