20mm Handmade Iron Recess Curtain Poles

Not every window is suitable for a curtain pole mounted on the surface of the wall, for deeply recessed windows we developed our metal, 20mm Recess Curtain Pole. Our 20mm wrought iron Recess Pole sits neatly in two hand-made Recess Brackets and can support heavier-weight curtains while still staying discreet. More »

  • Made to measure for the perfect fit.
  • Neatly mounts each side of the window frame or between two walls.
  • Comes with a lifetime guarantee.
  • Planet-friendly, recyclable metal handcrafted in the UK, at our Suffolk forge.

Measuring up

Measuring for a 20mm recess curtain pole is a simple job and requires just two quick steps:

  1. Firstly, where is the pole going to go? Stand back, look at the window, and check that there are no obstructions or fittings in the way of a straight mount across the window.
  2. Measure the full recess width, we take into account the width of the brackets to ensure a perfect fit. Remember to measure in centimetres.

How to measure for your Recess Curtain Pole

Reviews

“You supplied us with a 20mm recess curtain pole earlier this year and we were delighted with it.”

“You are welcome to use the photo I sent. You might also be interested in this as well which you supplied in 2020. We are absolutely delighted with this pole too since it looks so minimal with our modern slim profile sliding doors. Do use this too if you like.”

“Couple of pics from the recent curtain pole you did for us.

The angle mounts were spot on.

Not the easiest of windows to do but hey what do you expect in a 500 year old cottage!

This has really finished off this room, thank you.”

Apologies for the delay in writing but it’s been a little hectic here in the past few days. Just wanted to offer my warm thanks for the recess curtain poles. They are lovely quality and are already in place in our recesses with new curtains!
