MEASURING FOR MADE TO MEASURE CURTAIN POLES

Firstly decide where the pole is to be positioned. This may be on a window frame or on the wall above. Measure the required length (A). Take into account the space needed for the curtains to be drawn back either side of the window (B).

Decide on the style of the finial required. Ensure there is space either side of the pole for the finials (C). Alternatively we can supply 6mm thick stud ends to neatly finish the pole.

When deciding on the number of brackets, you need to consider the weight of the curtains and the overall span of the pole. It may be necessary for the pole to be made in two pieces, joined in the centre with a supporting bracket. The pole can also be made in multiple sections with a passing bracket to support all of the joins. You will then require passing rings which will glide over these brackets.

If you are using heavy curtains on a pole within the above recommendations, it may still be necessary to use a centre bracket.

If required, calculate the number of rings needed, an average of four rings per 30cm is recommended.

MEASURING FOR BAY WINDOW POLES

Made to measure curtain poles are available for bay windows. Due to the complicated and precise nature of these curtain poles we recommend a measure visit. Please contact your nearest store for details.

POLE KITS

Curtain pole kits are available in a selection of steel and wood, with a choice of finials and finishes from 19mm to 38mm diameter.

Select from standard lengths that can be cut down at home to suit window size. For voile and sheer curtains a tension wire kit is available.
