Product Information

Full details

The Lister Cartwright Double Curtain Extendable Pole Set, particularly the Antique Brass Ball Finial model, is designed for homeowners looking to enhance their window treatments with both style and layered functionality. Its key benefit lies in the double pole system, allowing for the simultaneous hanging of sheer and blackout curtains, offering superior light control, privacy, and a sophisticated aesthetic. A minor consideration is that installation, while complete with fixings, may require basic DIY skills and tools for secure mounting.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of a double curtain pole set?

The primary advantage is the ability to layer curtains, such as sheer curtains for daytime privacy and blackout curtains for light control and insulation, offering enhanced functionality and a more sophisticated window treatment.

What is included in the complete set?

The complete set typically includes the extendable curtain poles, all necessary brackets, stylish finials for the ends, curtain rings, and all required wall fixings for installation.

How do I clean the curtain pole?

Clean the pole by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to maintain the finish.

Can this pole be used for heavy curtains?

Yes, the poles are crafted from high-quality metal (19mm and 28mm diameters) and are designed to provide strong support, making them suitable for heavier curtains.

What is the wall projection of the pole set?

The wall projection is approximately 21cm, providing ample space between the two poles to accommodate layered curtains without them bunching up.

Is this pole set suitable for bay windows?

Yes, the double pole system and extendable nature make it suitable for various window types, including bay windows where layered curtain setups are often desired.

What finishes are available for this curtain pole set?

While this guide focuses on the Antique Brass finish, the Lister Cartwright Double Curtain Pole Set is available in multiple finishes including Antique Copper, Black Nickel, Brushed Steel, Obsidian Black, Chrome, and White.

Troubleshooting

Pole is not extending smoothly.

Ensure there are no obstructions. Gently twist and pull the pole sections. If resistance persists, check for any internal damage or debris. Ensure the internal pole is aligned correctly.

Brackets feel loose on the wall.

Check if the correct wall fixings for your wall type were used. Tighten the screws securing the brackets. If the wall material is soft, you may need to use larger wall plugs or a different mounting method.

Curtains are not hanging evenly.

Ensure the pole is perfectly level using a spirit level. Check that all curtain rings are moving freely on the pole. Verify that the curtains themselves are hung evenly on the rings.

The finials are difficult to attach.

Ensure the end of the pole is clean and free of obstruction. Gently screw or push the finial into place according to its design. Do not force it; check for alignment issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Gather Tools: You will typically need a drill, screwdriver, spirit level, and a measuring tape.
  2. Determine Placement: Decide on the desired height and position for your curtain pole, ensuring adequate clearance for curtains to hang freely.
  3. Mark Bracket Positions: Use a spirit level to mark the positions for the brackets on the wall. Ensure the distance between brackets is appropriate for the pole length and curtain weight.
  4. Install Brackets: Drill pilot holes, insert appropriate wall plugs (if necessary), and securely fasten the brackets to the wall.
  5. Assemble Pole: Extend the poles to the desired length and insert them into the brackets. Attach the finials to the ends of the poles.
  6. Hang Curtains: Place curtain rings onto the poles and attach your curtains. Adjust the pole position if needed.

  • Designed for standard wall mounting; ensure you use appropriate fixings for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick).

Care:
