A curtain pole or rod is a rail
or track which a curtain or valance is hung.
Poles or rods are available in
many different materials – timber, brass, wrought iron, bamboo, powder coated
steel, and painted timber.
They usually have coordinating
rings that fix to the hooks on the heading of the curtains.
Curtain Rods or Poles are a
simple and effective way to add decoration
to your windows.
They are easy to install and you
can coordinate the finials with hold backs, and other pieces of hardware
providing a fluid designer look.
Finials are the decorative fixing
at the end of the poles.
They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, some
simple, some complex, from the traditional fleur delis, and arrowhead to the
fruity pomegranate and pineapple, and back to nature with acorns, scallop
shells, along with the simple colonial turned wood balls, Rod and rings.
A more contemporary type of pole
system is the tensioned steel wire, which doesn’t impose on the windows. This
is used with a grommet top style of curtain.
A simpler style of rod is a
tension rod which gets positioned between the window frame, and is held there
by a spring tension system.
This is frequently used for shower curtains.
