While the pole is made of durable metal, we recommend medium-to-heavy curtains. Always use the included center bracket for spans exceeding 200cm.
This pole is designed to be telescopic, so cutting is generally not required or recommended as it may damage the adjustment mechanism.
Yes, the A.Unique Home Plain Barrel set includes the pole, brackets, and matching rings for a complete installation.
You will need a drill, wall plugs (appropriate for your wall type), a spirit level, and a screwdriver.
This pole is designed for use with rings. For eyelet curtains, you can simply slide the pole through the curtain eyelets instead of using the provided rings.
Ensure the inner pole is fully tightened and the surfaces are aligned. You can also apply a tiny amount of silicone spray to the joint to help rings glide over the seam.
Verify that the center support bracket is installed correctly. For spans over 200cm, an additional center bracket is often recommended for maximum stability.
Ensure you are using the correct wall plugs for your wall type (e.g., masonry vs. plasterboard) and re-tighten the mounting screws.
Installation is straightforward and requires basic tools like a drill, spirit level, and screwdriver. Begin by measuring your window width and extending the pole to the required length. Mark your bracket locations on the wall, ensuring they are spaced evenly to support the pole's weight. Once the brackets are secured, rest the pole in place and tighten the locking screws to prevent shifting.
For maintenance, wipe the pole occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to keep it free of dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may scratch the matte black finish over time. Periodically check that the wall screws remain tight, especially in high-traffic rooms.
