Product Information
Full details
The Lister Cartwright Double Curtain Fixed Pole Set is an ideal solution for homeowners looking to elevate their interior design with a functional, layered window treatment. Designed for those who want the flexibility of pairing sheer curtains with heavier blackout drapes, this set offers a sophisticated aesthetic with its classic ball finials. While the 240 cm fixed length provides a sturdy and premium look, it requires accurate measurements of your window space before purchase as it lacks the adjustability of extendable alternatives.

FAQs
Can I cut the pole to size?
This set is a fixed-length system at 240 cm. While it may be technically possible to shorten it, doing so will likely alter the aesthetic of the ends and is not recommended by the manufacturer.
What is the diameter of the poles?
The set includes two poles: one at 19mm and one at 28mm to accommodate different curtain styles and weights.
Are the curtains included?
No, this set includes the hardware and poles only. You will need to provide your own curtains.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a drill, drill bits, a spirit level, a measuring tape, and a screwdriver.
Is this suitable for a bay window?
This specific 240 cm fixed pole set is designed primarily for straight, standard windows. It is not designed to bend around corners.
How far does the pole project from the wall?
The wall projection is 21cm, which is sufficient for hanging double-layered curtains without them bunching up.
Troubleshooting
Curtains are catching or not sliding smoothly.
Check that the pole is level and that the rings are clean of debris. Ensure the curtains are evenly distributed on the rings.
The pole seems to sag under the weight of heavy curtains.
Verify that all brackets are tightened securely to the wall. If necessary, ensure a support bracket is placed in the center for the 240 cm span.
Bracket screws are loose in the wall.
Use appropriate wall anchors or plugs suited to your specific wall type, such as masonry or drywall anchors, rather than relying solely on the screws provided.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your installation, ensure your wall surface is suitable for heavy-duty metal brackets. You will need a power drill, a screwdriver, a spirit level, and a tape measure.
- Measure your window width carefully to center the 240 cm pole effectively.
- Mark your bracket locations on the wall, ensuring they are level.
- Drill pilot holes and secure the brackets using the provided fixings.
- Attach the poles into the brackets and secure with the included screws.
- Slide your curtain rings onto the poles before fixing the final ball finials.
To keep your curtain set in pristine condition, wipe the metal surfaces with a soft, dry cloth periodically to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the black finish over time.
