FAQs
What is the diameter of this curtain pole?
The curtain pole has a diameter of 28mm.
Are curtain rings included with the pole?
No, curtain rings and finials are typically sold separately. You will need to purchase these to hang your curtains.
What should I do if my window is wider than 210cm?
For poles over 210cm, the product is supplied in two lengths that connect together to span the required width.
Can this pole be cut to a custom length?
This is a fixed-length pole and is not designed to be cut. For custom lengths, you would need to consider an adjustable pole or a different product.
What type of curtains can I hang?
The 28mm diameter pole is suitable for most types of curtains, including heavier fabrics and those with eyelets or pleats, provided you use the appropriate curtain rings.
How do I clean the silver finish?
You can clean the silver finish by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What are the wall fixings like?
The product includes the pole and brackets. You will need to provide your own appropriate wall fixings (screws and wall plugs) based on your wall type.
Troubleshooting
Curtain pole is sagging
Ensure that the brackets are securely fastened to the wall and that the number and placement of brackets are appropriate for the length and weight of the curtains. Consider adding an extra bracket if the span is large.
Curtain rings do not slide smoothly
Check if the curtain rings are the correct size for the 28mm pole. Ensure there are no rough edges or debris inside the rings or on the pole itself. Clean the pole surface if necessary.
Two sections of the pole do not connect securely
Verify that the connector is correctly inserted into both pole sections and that they are pushed firmly together. Ensure no obstruction is preventing a tight fit.
Brackets feel loose on the wall
Re-tighten the bracket screws. If the wall material is soft, use appropriate wall plugs and ensure they are inserted correctly for a secure hold.
