Curtain Rods for Dummies

So let's get back to basics.  What is a custom curtain rod?  First of all, it's a curtain rod that's cut to length.  Most stores sell curtain rods that are adjustable and can expand to a certain length.  Second of all, our rods are heavy duty.  Most store-bought rods are pretty lightweight metal or plastic.  Thirdly, we have many finish options and have brackets with screws, finials and other accessories that are finished the same.

Brackets are included with your rod.  Our standard brackets have a 3.5" projection.  Projection is the measurement from the wall to the middle of your rod.  Our brackets are made to fit your rod.

Finials are the decorative parts that go on the end of a curtain rod.  Ours are steel or cast iron.  We weld collars onto them and they attach securely to your rod with a set screw.  A rod, brackets and finials are all you need to have a beautiful rod for your window, but there are many more accessories and custom products available.  Check out my next posts for more.
