Double Curtain Pole

Double Curtain Pole

Double Curtain Poles are the perfect solution for balancing light and privacy in windows facing public spaces such as pavements, parks, or close neighbours or for rooms where extra privacy is desired. The front pole is designed for sheer curtains, which let light into the room while making it impossible to see any detail from the outside. The outer pole is designed to hold thicker curtains, which keep the light out and the warmth in. A Double Curtain Pole also gives the room a luxurious, designer-inspired look by allowing you to layer your curtains, adding depth and texture. More »

Product description

We have developed a double pole system that is more than up to the task. Made using strong metal that will not bend or break, the inner pole is slightly thinner and designed to hold a lightweight sheer curtain that can open and close independently from the main curtain. This is perfect for the Summer days when light is wanted but privacy is needed. The front pole is thicker and perfect for holding light and medium weight curtains. Both can be closed or opened separately which is an advantage in both winter and summer alike.

Measuring up

Measuring for one of our Double Curtain Poles is a simple job and requires just three quick steps:

Firstly, where is the pole going to go? Stand back, look at the window, and check that there are no beams, light switches, or fittings in the way of a straight mount above the window.

Ideally, the pole should be mounted 15cm above the top of the window. If you have a low ceiling, it should be mounted halfway between the ceiling and the top of the window.
Measure the width of your window. Remember to measure in centimetres.
For the drawbacks (the area where the curtain hangs when drawn back), we recommend 10% of the width of the window. Just divide the window width by 10. This is added to the overall length of the pole. If you have thicker/heavier curtains, add one or two centimetres to allow for the additional thickness.

We also have a video where Richard from Made by the Forge explains how to take measurements before ordering.

How to measure for your Double Curtain Pole

Reviews

"What a lovely personal service you guys provide from start to finish. We loved reading your story. We will definitely use you again and tell others! Inspiring as we also run our own company and appreciate the hard work and the effort to keep things personal and high quality in a world where that seems to becoming more rare sadly.

Thanks again and best wishes."

"This is our 3rd order for curtain rails from Made by the Forge. We are really impressed with the handmade poles and supports. The company is really good to deal with and we highly recommend their hand crafted work."

"The company is a great find - responsive and helpful, particularly because they make a brilliant curtain ring called a passing ring. Years ago, I had had some curtain poles made by a local blacksmith. Which were made to fit the window reveals of our old house but some have finials that are just a bit too large for one size ring to pass over. The next size up is too big. Hey presto, using the passing ring in the same size does the trick - a genius invention. Made by the Forge thinks of everything. It’s so nice to find craftsman-made curtain fittings. Thank you."
