How to order
Ordering Straight Curtain Poles
We need to know…
- The Finials
- The Overall length of the pole
- The Finish
- Any particular considerations (e.g. non standard bracket projections)
A useful diagram to find the overall length of the curtain pole
- Measure the window width (or recess width).
- Add on enough draw-back allowance each side for the curtains to clear the window as required. As a rule this would probably be 150mm to 200 mm per side. Others advise adding 10% of window width per side. It just depends on how wide and thick the curtains are.
- Add on the length of the chosen finials to get the overall length of the curtain pole. The finial lengths can be found here on the Curtain poles page.
- Choose the finish (Beeswax, Traditional Black or Pewter)
- If you require longer/shorter bracket projections please make sure we’re aware!
Notes
Make sure you have enough room and let us know if there are any obstructions (e.g. pipes, deep window frames, etc.) which might be in the way. We can produce special brackets if required. The standard gap between wall and pole is 45mm for 16mm diameter poles and 50mm gap for 25mm diameter poles.
We can make poles of virtually any length but are restricted by the lengths UPS will carry so poles over 1.8 m will be in two sections with a Joining Centre Bracket. As an example, 3m pole would be supplied in 2 x 1.5 m lengths.
Ordering Bay Window Poles
Follow the details for your particular bay window shape from the linked drawings on Bay window curtain poles page regarding how to measure. Again, remember to allow room for the chosen finials (click here) and brackets and get in touch if you need any guidance.
