Troubleshooting
Curtain pole sags in the middle
Ensure adequate support brackets are used, especially for longer poles or heavier curtains. Check that the pole is correctly seated in its brackets and that the brackets are securely fastened to the wall. For poles over 210cm, ensure the central connector is properly engaged.
Brackets feel loose on the wall
Check the wall fixings. If using wall plugs, ensure they are the correct type for your wall material and are firmly seated. If the holes are too large, you may need to use larger wall plugs or a different mounting method.
Pole won't fit through curtain rings
Verify that the curtain rings are designed for a 28mm diameter pole. Some rings may have a smaller internal diameter than their stated external size.
Connector for two-piece poles is visible
Ensure the pole sections are fully pushed together into the connector. The design aims for a discreet join, but some visibility may occur depending on the curtain fullness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Determine the desired mounting position for the pole, typically a few inches above the window frame.
Mark the locations for the support brackets using a pencil. Ensure brackets are level.
Drill pilot holes at the marked locations, using appropriate drill bits for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, masonry).
Securely attach the support brackets to the wall using suitable screws and wall plugs.
If your pole is supplied in two sections, join them using the provided connector.
Slide the curtain rings onto the pole.
Place the pole onto the brackets and secure it if necessary (some brackets have a locking mechanism).
Compatibility:
This pole is compatible with standard curtain rings that accommodate a 28mm diameter rod.
It is suitable for most types of curtains, including light to medium-heavy fabrics. For exceptionally heavy drapes, ensure adequate bracket support.
Ensure the chosen length fits your window width, accounting for desired overhang.

Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth.
Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
