FAQs

What is the diameter of this curtain pole?

The diameter of this curtain pole is 28mm.

Do I need to assemble the curtain pole if it's longer than 210cm?

Yes, if the pole's length exceeds 210cm, it will be supplied in two sections that need to be joined together.

What materials are included with the curtain pole?

The package typically includes the metal curtain pole sections and any necessary joining sleeves. Brackets, curtain rings, finials, and wall fixings are usually sold separately.

How do I clean the brushed steel finish?

You can clean the brushed steel finish by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Can this pole be cut to a custom size?

This is a fixed-length pole and is not designed to be cut. If you require a specific custom length, you may need to consider adjustable poles or professional cutting services, though this may affect the finish.

What type of curtains is this pole suitable for?

It is suitable for most standard curtain types, including eyelet, rod pocket, and pencil pleat curtains (when used with rings), provided the weight is appropriate for the fixings.

What is the warranty period for this curtain pole?

Please refer to the product packaging or B&Q's official website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Curtain pole is sagging in the middle.

Ensure you have used enough brackets, especially for poles over 210cm or those supporting heavier curtains. Check that the brackets are securely fixed to the wall. For poles supplied in two sections, ensure the join is reinforced with a central bracket.

Finials won't stay on.

Check if the finials have a set screw or are designed to screw directly onto the pole. Ensure they are screwed in tightly or that any set screw is secured.

Brackets feel loose.

Remove the curtain pole and re-secure the brackets. Use appropriate wall fixings for your wall type and ensure they are fully inserted and tightened.

Difficulty sliding curtain rings.

Ensure the curtain rings are the correct size for the 28mm pole diameter. Clean any dust or debris from the pole surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired mounting position for the curtain pole brackets, ensuring they are level and securely fixed into wall studs or using appropriate wall plugs for your wall type.
  2. If your pole is over 210cm, insert the joining sleeve into one end of the pole and then slide the second pole length into the sleeve. Ensure a snug fit.
  3. Slide the pole through the curtain rings.
  4. Mount the pole onto the brackets.
  5. Attach finials to the ends of the pole.

Compatibility:

  • Curtain Rings: Compatible with most standard 28mm curtain rings. Consider using metal rings for a cohesive look.
  • Curtains: Suitable for most curtain types, including eyelet, pencil pleat (with rings), and rod pocket curtains. Ensure the curtain weight is within reasonable limits for the wall fixings.
  • Wall Fixings: Requires appropriate wall fixings (screws and wall plugs) for your specific wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick, masonry). These are not included.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the brushed steel finish.
  • Periodically check that the pole and brackets remain securely fastened.
