Troubleshooting
Curtain pole sags in the middle.
Ensure that the pole is properly supported by an adequate number of brackets, especially for longer lengths or heavier curtains. Check that the brackets are securely fastened to the wall.
Pole sections do not join securely.
Ensure the internal connector is fully inserted into both pole sections and that the pole ends are clean and free from debris before joining.
Brackets feel loose on the wall.
Remove the bracket and re-secure it using appropriate wall fixings for your wall type. If the existing hole is too large, use a wall plug or filler to create a firm anchor point.
Curtains do not slide smoothly.
Ensure the curtain eyelets are of the correct size (at least 28mm internal diameter) and that the pole's surface is clean and free from obstructions. If the curtains are very heavy, consider adding an extra bracket for support.
