Troubleshooting
Curtain pole sags in the middle.
Ensure that the correct number of support brackets are used for the length of the pole. For poles over 210cm, a central bracket is essential. Verify all brackets are securely fixed to the wall.
Brackets feel loose on the wall.
The wall fixings may not be suitable for your wall type or may not have been installed correctly. Re-drill holes and use appropriate wall plugs and screws for your wall material (e.g., plasterboard, brick).
Pole sections do not connect securely (for poles > 210cm).
Ensure the internal connector is fully inserted into both pole sections. Check for any obstructions within the pole ends that might prevent a snug fit.
Brushed gold finish is scratched or damaged.
Minor scratches may be buffed with a very soft cloth. For significant damage, touch-up paint specifically for metal finishes may be an option, though a perfect match can be difficult.
