FAQs
Can the 400 cm length be cut down?
This is a fixed curtain pole set; while technically possible for experienced DIYers with metal cutting tools, it is not recommended as it may impact the aesthetic of the finial mounting and the overall structural integrity.
Is this pole suitable for blackout curtains?
Yes, the 28 mm diameter is specifically designed to be strong enough to support heavier curtain materials, including multi-layered blackout curtains.
Does the set include wall plugs?
The set comes with an assembly kit, but always ensure you use wall fixings appropriate for your specific wall material (brick, wood, or plasterboard).
What is the diameter of the pole?
The pole has a 28 mm diameter, which provides high durability and support.
Can I use my own curtain rings?
While the set includes rings, you can use your own, provided they are sized for a 28 mm diameter pole for smooth operation.
Troubleshooting
Curtain rings snagging on the pole
Check for any debris or paint residue on the pole surface and wipe clean; ensure the pole is perfectly level.
Pole feels loose after installation
Verify that the bracket screws are tightened securely and that you have used the correct mounting hardware for your wall surface type.
Difficulty sliding curtains
Ensure that the curtain rings are not caught on the finial connection and that the curtain fabric is not bunched up at the bracket points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation involves securing the two included brackets to the wall above your window frame. Given the 400 cm span, it is critical to use a level to ensure the brackets are perfectly aligned. Always use the appropriate wall plugs and screws for your specific wall type—such as heavy-duty toggle bolts for drywall or masonry anchors for brick or concrete. To care for your pole, simply wipe it down periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners, as these may damage the grey finish over time. Periodically check that the bracket screws remain tight, especially if the curtains are moved frequently.
