Troubleshooting
Pole sags in the middle
Ensure sufficient brackets are used, especially for longer poles or heavier curtains. For poles over 210cm, the join may also benefit from bracket support. Check that brackets are securely fastened to the wall.
Brackets feel loose
Re-evaluate the wall fixings. Use appropriate wall plugs and screws for your wall type. Ensure screws are tightened fully.
Curtains do not slide smoothly
Check the curtain rings for any burrs or damage. Ensure the pole is level and not bent. Clean the pole surface if it appears dirty or obstructed.
Pole is too short for the window
This is a fixed-length pole. If a longer length is required, consider purchasing a longer pole or joining multiple poles if feasible and structurally sound, ensuring adequate support.
