CURTAIN POLE FITTING SERVICES

Recommended Posts

Any fellow JKB members in this line of business or know anyone that is. I am thinking of changing my cheap white plastic track for one of those fancy poles, the only problem I have is its a Bay Window and its totally confusing of what is needed. I had a look in B&Q but again just not sure. I would rather get an expert in to supply and fit and at least then its been done right.

 

If you know anyone give me a shout.

 

Thanks:)

also you can get parts of the pole that bend round the angles of a bay window. my mum has them fitted at her place. prob from john lewis as most of the stuff she gets if from there.

 

thanks, it is probably quite easy for someone that knows what they are doing. I will dig around and see what I can purchase.

if its a standard rail (these are the type that have little hoops which slide back and forth under them for the cutain hooks to fit into).

you can bend these to suit a bay window no probs - however you will need 'bending rods' to stop the aluminium rail kinking (i've got these).

you can get plastic rails, which you can bend, but the plastic runners tend not to run as well, especially if the curtains are long or heavy (usually are on bay windows)

 

poles are usually a no no on bay windows due to needing more brackets at the bends, which stop the curtains opening / closing

the curtains won't be getting closed, as I have blinds but curtains are just for decoration and make the room finished off.

wouldn't bother with a pole then, just get two straight bits of std rail and 4 brackets to fit along the 'angled' part of the bay (if you see what i mean)

 

pm me with sizes and i'll get you the stuff - should have enough lying about in the garage
