FAQs
Do these supports come with screws?
No, the supports are sold as a pair and do not include wall screws or fixings. You will need to supply these separately, chosen according to your wall type.
What is the main advantage of the 'Quick Lock' feature?
The 'Quick Lock' feature uses an internal rubber lug to hold the curtain pole securely in place without the need for tools like grub screws or Allen keys, making installation and removal faster and simpler.
Can I use these supports with a curtain pole that is not exactly 28mm?
These supports are designed specifically for 28mm diameter curtain poles. Using a pole of a different diameter may result in a loose fit or difficulty in securing the pole.
How do I clean the metal supports?
You can clean the metal supports by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to preserve the finish.
Are these supports suitable for heavy curtains?
The metal construction provides good strength, but for extremely heavy curtains, it's advisable to ensure adequate wall support and consider the spacing of the brackets to distribute the weight effectively.
What colours are available?
This specific product is black. Other colours like Grey, Silver, and Antique Brass are available as separate variants from New Edge Blinds.
Troubleshooting
Curtain pole feels loose in the support.
Ensure the curtain pole is a precise 28mm diameter and fully seated. Check that the internal rubber lug is engaging correctly. If the pole is slightly undersized, consider adding a thin shim or tape around the pole where it contacts the lug for a tighter fit.
Supports seem unstable on the wall.
Verify that appropriate wall fixings for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick) have been used and are securely fastened. Ensure the supports are mounted on a flat, solid surface.
Difficulty inserting or removing the curtain pole.
Ensure the pole is aligned correctly with the open bracket. If it's tight, confirm the pole diameter matches exactly 28mm. Gentle wiggling might be necessary. For removal, lift the pole slightly while pulling it out of the bracket.
