What to check before installing a curtain pole
Measurements, brackets, wall and curtain drop: a guide to positioning a curtain pole correctly.
The pole should be centred over the window, allow curtains to open fully and support their weight. Before drilling, consider the shutter box and possible nearby wiring.
Correct width
Leave enough space on both sides so open curtains do not cover the glass.
Number of brackets
Long poles or heavy curtains need a centre support to prevent sagging.
Wall type
Concrete, hollow brick and plasterboard require different fixings.
Mistakes to avoid
- Measuring only the window
- Drilling into the shutter box
- Not checking the curtain drop
THEVULGO tip
Put the curtains on the pole before deciding final height if you need to check where the fabric will finish.
