FAQs

What is the diameter of the pole?

The pole has a diameter of 28mm.

Can this pole be used for eyelet curtains?

Yes, by removing the standard curtain rings, the pole can be used for eyelet curtains. Ensure the eyelet diameter is compatible with the 28mm pole.

What happens if my window is longer than 200cm?

Poles over 200cm are supplied in two pieces and include a pole connector to join them together.

What type of curtains can I hang?

This pole set is suitable for medium to heavy weight curtains, including those with heading tape, tab tops, or eyelets.

How do I clean the bright brass finish?

Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish.

Are wall fixings included?

The product includes adjustable wall supports, but specific wall fixings (screws, rawl plugs) are not always included as they depend on your wall type. Please check the product packaging for details.

What are the traditional ball finials made of?

The finials are part of the metal pole set, indicating they are also made of metal, consistent with the pole material.

Troubleshooting

Curtain rings do not slide smoothly.

Ensure the pole is level and the rings are not obstructed. Check for any burrs or damage on the inside of the rings or the pole surface. Clean the pole if necessary.

Pole is sagging in the middle.

Ensure you have used the correct number of brackets for the pole length, especially for heavier curtains. For poles over 200cm, ensure the connector is securely fitted. Consider adding an extra central bracket if the curtain weight is excessive.

Brackets feel loose on the wall.

Check the wall fixings. They may need to be replaced with more robust fixings suitable for your wall type (e.g., heavier duty rawl plugs for plasterboard or masonry screws for brick).

Finials are difficult to attach or keep falling off.

Ensure the pole end is clean and free of debris. Some finials screw on; check if there's a grub screw that needs tightening. If they push-fit, ensure they are firmly seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure your window accurately to select the correct pole length. Remember to add extra for bracket placement and finial overhang.
  2. Mark the wall for bracket placement, ensuring they are level and at an appropriate distance from the window frame to support the curtain weight.
  3. Securely fix the wall brackets using appropriate wall fixings (not always included, check packaging).
  4. If your pole is in two pieces, insert the connector and slide the pole sections together.
  5. Place the curtain rings onto the pole.
  6. Slide the pole through the curtain heading (taped curtains) or attach to rings.
  7. Attach the finials to the ends of the pole.
  8. Mount the pole onto the brackets.

  • Wall Type: Requires appropriate wall fixings for secure installation (plasterboard, brick, etc.).

Care:

  • Clean the metal pole and finials with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
