Can I join your curtain poles together to extend them/cut them down to make them shorter?
Yes, of course! You can join multiple bars together using a joining bar which are sold separately. We recommend using an extra mounting bracket to support the centre of the joint bars to support the additional weight and cover the join (so it doesn't get in the way of the curtains). You can also glue this in for extra security. You can also cut the poles to a shorter length using a decent metal saw, but be careful and file the fresh cut down to remove sharp edges!
Can I use your curtain poles in a bay window?
Unfortunately, due to the way our mounting brackets support the curtain poles, they're not suitable for use with bay windows.
How many mounting brackets do I need for my length of curtain pole?
In most cases, two mounting brackets should support any of our standard-length curtain poles when fitted correctly, although if your curtains are especially heavy, we recommend using an additional bracket. If you join two or more poles together, you'll need an additional mounting bracket at each join to support the additional weight and cover the join itself.
How many curtain rings do I need for my length of curtain pole?
We recommend around four rings per 300mm of pole length. For example, for 1000mm (1m) of pole, we'd suggest using 12 rings. For 1500mm (1.5m) of pole, we'd suggest using 20 rings. And for 2000mm (2m) of pole, we'd recommend using 24 rings.
Do I need finials on my curtain pole?
Yes, finials are important to prevent the curtain falling off the end of your pole. They also tidy up the look. If your curtain pole ends right next to a wall, you could get away with not using a finial. Remember to include the length of the finials when measuring the space for your curtain pole!
Are your mounting brackets supplied with fixings?
Our mounting brackets come with wood screws, but if you're fixing them to a wall, you may also require walls plugs (which aren't included with the product). You may also require different fixings if your curtains are particularly heavy - please get in contact with us if you're unsure about what you need!
