FAQs

What is the diameter of this curtain pole?

The diameter of this curtain pole is 28mm.

Can I cut this pole to size?

This is a fixed-length pole and is not designed to be cut. For custom lengths, please consider an adjustable pole or a pole that can be cut to size by a retailer.

What happens if my window is wider than 210cm?

Poles longer than 210cm are supplied in two sections that join together in the middle. This allows for easier transport and handling.

Does this curtain pole come with brackets and fixings?

Typically, curtain poles are sold with brackets, but wall fixings (screws and wall plugs) are often not included as they need to be appropriate for your specific wall type. Please check the product packaging or description for details.

How should I clean the brushed steel finish?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can damage the finish.

Can I use this pole for heavy, lined curtains?

Yes, the 28mm diameter and metal construction make it suitable for heavier curtains, provided you use adequate support brackets and fix them securely to the wall.

What is the colour of the pole?

The colour is described as Silver, with a brushed steel finish.

Troubleshooting

Pole sags in the middle.

Ensure brackets are installed at the recommended intervals for the pole length and curtain weight. For longer poles, check that the central join is secure and that no excessive weight is concentrated there. Consider adding an extra bracket if necessary.

Curtain rings snagging at the join on two-piece poles.

Ensure the two pole sections are perfectly aligned and the join is smooth. You can try gently sanding the join area with fine-grit sandpaper or adding a thin layer of clear lubricant to the join to help rings slide more easily.

Brackets feel loose on the wall.

Check that the correct wall plugs and screws for your wall type are being used. Ensure all fixings are tightened securely. If the holes in the wall are stripped, you may need to use larger wall plugs or an alternative fixing method.

Ball finials are difficult to attach or remove.

Check the fitting mechanism; some finials screw on, while others might have a grub screw. Ensure any grub screw is loosened before attempting to attach or detach. If the fit is very tight, a small amount of lubricant may help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds a stylish and modern touch to window treatments.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity and reliable curtain support.
  • The 28mm diameter is suitable for a variety of curtain weights.
  • Brushed steel finish is elegant and resistant to fingerprints.
  • Simple, fixed-length design is straightforward to install.

Cons

  • Fixed length means it cannot be adjusted for different window sizes.
  • Poles over 210cm are supplied in two pieces, requiring a joiner.
  • May require specific mounting hardware not always included.
  • The brushed steel finish might not match all decor styles.
  • Ball finials may be too large for very minimalist interiors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure you have the correct tools for wall mounting, including a drill, spirit level, and appropriate wall fixings (screws and wall plugs) for your wall type. Mark the desired bracket positions, ensuring they are level and spaced appropriately to support the pole, especially if using the two-piece variant. For poles over 210cm, connect the two sections securely before mounting. Attach the brackets to the wall, place the pole onto the brackets, and secure it if required by the bracket design.

Compatibility: This pole is designed for use with standard curtain rings or grommets. The 28mm diameter is compatible with most common curtain ring sizes. It is suitable for use with most types of curtains, from lightweight voiles to heavier drapes, provided adequate wall fixings and bracket spacing are used.

Care: To maintain the brushed steel finish, simply wipe the pole with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild detergent can be used, followed by a rinse with a clean, damp cloth and dried thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
