Use and Care Manual
Eyelet rings and clip rings are used with standard pole rods. 
Eyelet rings must be used with either drapery pins or clips 
to attach draperies.
Drapery pins are necessary for drapery attachment for any 
traverse rod that does not include clips.
When purchasing additional mounting brackets, make sure 
that the rod diameter will fit and the bracket projection will 
match your current set up.
Please refer to the chart below for help selecting 
the best rod for your application. 
Use and care
USAGE TIPS
Measure the width of your window including 
its frame if applicable.
Keep in mind that standard rod installations 
allow an additional 3 to 6 inch rod extension 
beyond the width of your window. This pre-
vents any light from passing through on the 
sides.
Take into account the width of the finials (if 
included). To get the true length of your 
whole rod set, add the width of the finial to 
each end of the rod.

THINGS TO 
CONSIDER
TIPS FOR BUYING
ACCESSORIES
What type of rod should I choose?
A standard steel pole rod is most 
common and used with rings and 
holdbacks to keep curtains open 
during the day.
For more high traffic curtain usage, 
consider a cord draw traverse rod 
or a curtain track for a cordless 
option. For a lightweight and 
inexpensive option, a lockseam rod 
would be perfect.

What diameter rod should I buy?
It may depend on several variables 
such as how big your window is. 
Make sure the rod diameter is 
proportionate to your window and 
living space. A larger diameter is 
suitable for heavy weight curtains 
whereas a smaller diameter is 
better fit for light curtains.
