FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Metal curtain poles are a popular choice for window treatments. They are available in a variety of styles, finishes, and diameters, ranging from sleek and contemporary to traditional and ornate. They are strong, durable, and provide a sturdy base for hanging heavy curtains. Direct Fabrics offer an extensive range of metal curtain poles to suit any décor style, including brushed and polished finishes, black nickel, antique brass, and chrome, with various finial designs and diameters.

Installing metal curtain poles is a straightforward process. Start by measuring the width of your window, allowing extra space on either side for the curtains to stack back. Decide on the height of the pole, usually around 6 inches above the window frame. Use a pencil to mark the position of the brackets, ensuring they are level, and drill pilot holes. Attach the brackets to the wall using screws and wall plugs, then slide the metal pole through the rings on the curtain, and secure the finials in place. Direct Fabrics offers metal curtain poles complete with fittings, screws, and instructions for easy installation.

To clean metal curtain poles, wipe them with a damp cloth or sponge, using a mild soap or detergent solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface of the metal. Dry the pole with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots. Direct Fabrics recommends regular cleaning of metal curtain poles to maintain their appearance and prolong their lifespan.
