FAQs
What material are the A.Unique Home Holdbacks made from?
They are made from high-quality metal that is plated, providing durability and a refined finish.
What are the dimensions of the holdbacks?
The typical height is 14cm and the depth from the wall is 11cm, though sizes may vary slightly depending on the finial design.
Do I need to buy extra fittings for installation?
The holdbacks come with fixtures and fittings. However, depending on your specific wall surface, additional fittings or wall anchors may be required for a secure installation.
How do I clean and maintain the antique brass finish?
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the plating.
Are these holdbacks suitable for very heavy curtains?
They are designed for standard curtains. For very heavy drapery, ensure the holdback's mounting is secure and consider the weight limits of the product and your wall fixings.
Can I get these holdbacks in other colors?
Yes, these holdbacks are available in a variety of different colors, including Brushed Steel & Nickel, in addition to Antique Brass.
Troubleshooting
Holdback feels loose after installation.
Ensure screws are tightened securely into the wall or appropriate anchors. If the wall surface is soft, consider using stronger wall anchors designed for that material.
Finish appears dull or tarnished.
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid using polishing compounds unless specifically recommended for plated finishes.
Included screws do not fit the wall.
The included fittings are standard. Depending on your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, masonry), you may need to purchase specific wall plugs or anchors from a hardware store for a secure fit.
