STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION
Follow these simple steps
1
Plan Your Installation
Before fitting your curtain pole, decide on the bracket positions and check all components are present. You’ll also receive a detailed PDF installation guide by email, specific to the curtain pole you’ve ordered, to accompany this generic guide. We recommend positioning the brackets 50–100mm above and beyond each side of the window recess for the best curtain coverage.
2
Mark & Install the Brackets
Mark the bracket positions and ensure they are level before drilling. Secure each bracket using suitable fixings for your wall type. If your brackets feature an adjustable projection, set the desired distance from the wall before tightening the screws.
3
Prepare the Curtain Pole
If required, carefully trim the curtain pole to size, removing an equal amount from each end. For longer poles supplied in two sections, join them together using the supplied connector before installation. Smooth any rough edges after cutting.
4
Fit the Pole
Slide on any curtain rings (where supplied), or prepare your eyelet or tab top curtains. Place the curtain pole onto the brackets and secure it using the supplied fixing screws.
5
Check the Installation
Before hanging your curtains, double-check that all brackets, finials and fixing screws are fully tightened and secure. Once complete, hang your curtains and ensure they glide smoothly along the pole.
COMMON MISTAKES
- Not using a spirit level
- Drilling without checking for cables or pipes
- Not securing brackets firmly
- Forgetting to check the blind operates smoothly
