FAQs
What is the diameter of this curtain pole?

Can I cut this curtain pole to a custom size?
This is a fixed-length pole and is not designed to be cut. For lengths over 210cm, it is supplied in two pieces that join together.
How do I clean the brushed steel finish?
Wipe the brushed steel finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface.
What is the maximum weight this pole can support?
The maximum weight capacity depends on the bracket spacing and wall support. For standard installations with appropriate brackets, it is suitable for medium to heavy curtains.
What does 'fixed length' mean?
'Fixed length' means the pole is not adjustable or extendable. It comes in a set size or, for longer sizes, is made by joining two pre-determined lengths.
How are poles over 210cm supplied?
Poles over 210cm are supplied as two separate lengths that are designed to be joined together for installation.
Troubleshooting
Curtain pole sags in the middle.
Ensure you are using enough support brackets, especially for longer lengths or heavier curtains. For poles over 210cm, check that the two sections are securely joined and supported.
Brackets feel loose on the wall.
Re-secure the brackets using appropriate wall fixings for your wall type. If the existing holes are stripped, you may need to use larger fixings or wall anchors.
Finials will not stay attached.
Ensure the finials are screwed on tightly. Some models may have a small grub screw to secure them; check for and tighten this screw if present.
Difficulty sliding curtains.
Ensure the pole diameter is compatible with your curtain rings. Clean the pole surface with a damp cloth if it feels sticky or rough.
