Made-to-measure traditional wrought iron curtain poles by Nigel Tyas Ironwork are customized curtain rods that are tailored to fit the specific dimensions of your windows. These forged steel poles are hand crafted according to your exact measurements, ensuring a perfect fit for your curtains and windows.

Made-to-measure wrought iron curtain poles offer several advantages. They provide a precise fit for your windows, eliminating the need for cutting or adjusting standard-sized poles. This ensures a clean and polished look. Additionally, customisation allows you to choose the specific finish, style, and design that complements your interior decor. Nigel Tyas Ironwork have a variety of hand forged finials.

Measure the width of your window in centimetres at the height you expect to hang the pole, including any additional space you want the curtains to cover. Ensure you account for any obstructions like window frames. The curtain pole should extend at least 10cm beyond the window edges to allow the curtains to draw back properly. We have a simple measuring guide online HERE

Whilst curtain poles can be crafted from various materials, including wood, aluminium and brass, the traditional poles by Nigel Tyas Ironwork are hand made with thick wall, tubular steel poles and solid forged steel finials. This combination is selected for its unique aesthetic and durability characteristics, meaning a smaller diameter can be used compared to brass or wooden poles which is often more elegant over a window.

Installation instructions vary slightly based on the specific design of the curtain pole eg Recess poles or standard poles with finials. Both require brackets that need to be attached to the wall and here at Nigel Tyas we supply the matching fittings. The pole is then secured onto these brackets. We can also supply curtain rings or hooks for attaching the curtains. Please note only standard fixings are supplied and you should always consult a specialist if you are unsure. Some homes require cavity wall fixings or other specialist items to ensure a solid connection.

Yes, our made-to-measure wrought iron curtain poles are designed to support heavy curtains. However, it's essential to choose a suitable diameter of pole and ensure that the brackets are securely installed. We recommend a bracket every 1.5m along a 16mm pole or every 2metres along a 22mm and 32mm pole. If you have particularly heavy curtains, you may want to consult with the manufacturer or a professional to ensure that the chosen curtain pole can adequately support the weight but we have seen full length interlined curtains hung over patio doors using our poles with no issues.
