FAQs
What is the diameter of this curtain pole?

Can this pole be cut to size?
This is a fixed-length pole and is not designed to be cut. It is supplied in specific lengths.
What happens if I need a pole longer than 210cm?

What material is the curtain pole made of?
The curtain pole is made of metal.
How do I clean the brushed gold finish?

What is included with the curtain pole?
Typically, the pole, finials, and necessary brackets are included. Wall fixings may or may not be included depending on the specific package; check the product details for exact contents.
Is this pole suitable for heavy curtains?
Yes, the metal construction and 28mm diameter make it suitable for most curtain weights, provided it is installed securely with adequate bracket support.
Troubleshooting
Curtain pole sags in the middle.
Ensure all support brackets, especially the central one for poles over 210cm, are securely installed and properly spaced according to the product instructions. Consider adding an additional central bracket if necessary.
Brackets feel loose on the wall.
Check the wall fixings. If they are not holding firmly, remove the bracket and use stronger or more appropriate wall anchors for your wall type. Ensure you are not overtightening screws.
Curtains are difficult to slide.
Ensure the curtain rings or eyelets are smooth and not catching on the pole. Check that the pole is straight and not obstructed. Sometimes, a silicone spray can help if the pole surface is rough.
Finials won't stay attached.
Check if the finials have a set screw that needs tightening, or if they simply push-fit. If they are designed to push-fit, ensure the end of the pole is clean and smooth.
