Curtain Poles

Heavy curtain poles are becoming more relevant. Windows are becoming larger and bi-fold doors are becoming increasingly popular. There are so many different brands out in the market that choosing the right one for your windows can be mind-boggling.

The Silent Gliss 6130 Metropolitan pole is the best curtain pole for bay windows.  The reason for is that the Metropole works by using gliders in a channel under the pole rather than a ring around a pole.  This opens up a lot of possibilities and makes the working of the curtain pole much more effective.

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 for bay windows can be problematic if you do not invest a little time in research to find a suitable product.   The first stumbling block is opting for a cheap DIY product.  These can be excellent if you are hanging light weight curtains on a small bay (under 200cm total size) and you have no intention of actually using the curtains.   If you have a larger window, long/heavy curtains or want to use the curtains on a regular basis; you really need a bespoke made to measure pole.
