What is a wall pole?

A wall pole is a pole fixed to the wall above the window, made up of a tube (the pole), brackets and decorative finials. It is the classic, visible type of curtain pole, and it becomes part of the interior. Our catalogue has wall poles from Turkish ranges with a round tube (from €14 per metre) or a square one (from €15 per metre), in five finishes: silver, black, bronze, brown and gold. The diameter of the pole is chosen by the weight of the curtains: 16–19 mm for light sheers and 28–35 mm for heavy lined curtains.

Which material should I choose?

Wall poles come in three main materials. Metal (brushed metal, matt black, gold or chrome) is contemporary and durable. Wood (natural or painted) is a classic, warm choice for a traditional interior. Plastic or PVC is the economical option: it is light, cheaper and suits simpler curtains.

Which finials should I choose?

Decorative finials are the accent of a wall pole. Classic ones (balls, cones, drops) are tried and tested designs. Contemporary ones (geometric, minimalist) suit modern interiors. Decorative ones (ornaments, sculptural shapes) give a classic home its accent.

Tips for fitting a wall pole

A few dimensions matter when a wall pole is fitted. Height: 10–15 cm above the window, or close to the ceiling. Width: 15–30 cm wider than the window on both sides. Thickness: chosen by the weight of the curtains. Brackets: every 80–120 cm, depending on the weight.

What are the advantages of a wall pole?

The advantages of wall poles: a classic, time-tested design; decorative finials as an accent for the interior; easy hanging and taking down of the curtains; a choice of metal, wood or plastic in several finishes; suitability for one or two layers of curtains; and simple care.

Questions

What are wall poles?

Wall poles are fixed to the wall above the window. They consist of a pole (a tube), brackets and decorative finials. This is the classic, visible type of curtain pole.

How do wall poles differ from ceiling tracks?

Wall poles are fixed to the wall and are visible, so they become part of the interior. Ceiling tracks are fixed to the ceiling and are often hidden. Wall poles suit a classic style and ceiling tracks a contemporary one.

How thick should a wall pole be?

The thickness depends on the weight of the curtains: 16–19 mm for light sheers, 20–28 mm for medium weights and 28–35 mm for heavy lined curtains. We help you choose.

At what height should wall poles be fitted?

The best height is 10–15 cm above the window opening, or nearer the ceiling, which makes the window look larger. The pole should run 15–30 cm past the window on each side.

How much do wall poles cost?

The price depends on the profile, the length and the set. A round pole costs from €14 per metre and a square one from €15 per metre; a bracket costs €13, an end cap €6, and fitting €12 per metre for a pole up to 3 m. For example, a 2 m round pole with three brackets, two end caps and fitting costs €103.
