Metal Curtain Poles

With bay windows, it can be tricky to get curtain poles that fit properly. People often have lots of short poles or try to bend tracks themselves at home. The problem is, the sort of DIY products you can buy are designed to be flimsy so they can be bent easily. That means they’re not very strong and may not last, especially with heavy curtains.  Angle joints are available to join sections together, but these are very difficult for curtain rings to pass and mean the curtains can’t be drawn smoothly.

Over the past five years we have seen a large increase in the number of eyelet curtains that we are making.  Eyelet curtains are a heading style that involves the pole going through rings that are punched top of the curtain.  These are very modern and very attractive but are not totally practical for all situations.

Now that I have got the “don’t buy DIY” thing off my chest I should really start giving guidance on what products are good for your window.

Curtain Poles and Curtain Tracks are the unsung heroes of our home.  We use them every day, they give us privacy when we want it, security, they keep us warm and we barely notice them other than thinking they look good.  That is unless something goes wrong.
