Product Information
Full details
The Lister Cartwright 19mm extendable curtain pole is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a versatile, easy-to-install window treatment solution that combines aesthetic appeal with functional design. Its primary benefit is the telescopic, extendable mechanism that eliminates the need for precise manual cutting, ensuring a custom fit for various window widths. A key caveat to consider is that while the 19mm diameter is robust for many curtain weights, it is best suited for light to medium fabrics, so users with heavy, lined velvet drapes should ensure their curtain weight is within the pole's support capacity.

FAQs
Does this pole require cutting?
No, this is a telescopic, extendable pole designed to be adjusted to the required width without cutting.
Can this support blackout curtains?
It is suitable for light to medium-weight curtains; very heavy or thick blackout fabrics may cause the pole to sag at its maximum extension.
Is the white finish prone to chipping?
The finish is durable for home use, but care should be taken to avoid banging the rings or mounting hardware against the pole during installation.
Can I use my own curtain rings?
Yes, as long as the internal diameter of your curtain rings is larger than 19mm to ensure smooth movement along the pole.
What is the maximum length this pole can reach?
This specific model extends up to 320cm.
Troubleshooting
Pole sags in the center
Check that the wall brackets are tightened securely to the wall. For wider spans, ensure the pole is fully extended but not over-extended beyond its maximum limit.
Curtain rings stick at the overlap point
Ensure the inner and outer tubes are aligned perfectly. You can apply a very light coat of silicone-based lubricant to the seam to help rings glide over the transition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, mark your desired position above the window frame using a spirit level to ensure the pole hangs straight. Drill pilot holes for the provided wall brackets, secure them firmly, and then rest the pole into the cradle. For care, keep the finish looking new by periodically dusting with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch the white finish. Ensure the brackets are mounted into wall studs or appropriate wall plugs for drywall to prevent the pole from sagging over time.
