Troubleshooting
Pole sagging or appearing unstable
Ensure all brackets are securely fastened to the wall and that the pole is properly seated in the brackets. For longer spans or heavier curtains, consider adding an additional central bracket. Verify that the wall type is suitable for the provided fixings or use appropriate anchors.
Finials are loose
Check the set screw on the underside or side of the finial mount. Tighten this screw gently to secure the finial to the pole.
Curtains do not slide smoothly
Ensure the curtain rings or eyelets are the correct size for the 19mm and 28mm poles. Check for any burrs or imperfections on the pole or rings. Clean the pole surface if necessary.
Difficulty installing brackets
Ensure you are using the correct drill bit size for the wall plugs. If drilling into plasterboard, use appropriate plasterboard fixings. Consult a professional if unsure about your wall type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Drill holes at the marked positions and insert the provided wall plugs.
Screw the brackets securely into the wall plugs.
Slide the pole through the rings of your first curtain (typically the rear pole, e.g., the wider 28mm pole for heavier curtains), then attach the finials.
Place the pole onto the brackets and secure it if required by the bracket design.
Repeat the process for the second curtain and pole (e.g., the 19mm pole for sheers).
Adjust finials to ensure a snug fit.
