Choosing a pole diameter :
Pole diameter is an important part of choosing your curtain pole; not only for functionality but also for design. You could be baffled by the choice of sizes available from different manufactuers, so here at Poles2U we have simplied the process and identified 3 main categories.
Slim poles (11mm – 20mm):
Normally suitable for light to medium weight curtains. Ideal for use with sheers but can also create a contemporary look with stainless steel finishes. If you are looking for a traditional wrought iron this will all be found within these smaller diameters.
Standard poles (21mm – 39mm ):
If you don’t want to think too much about it, this is the obvious choice. Nearly all of these products will be suitable for all weight of curtains (but please check individual product features) and won’t look out of place on any size of window or design style you are trying to create. By far the widest choice of products will be within this category. Chunky poles (40mm – 70mm):
If you want to stand out from the crowd and create a real ‘WOW’ factor, these are statement pieces. Don’t think you need a huge window to use these, you can create an opulent and luxurious look on a standard size window.
