Extendable Curtain Poles

An extendable curtain pole makes it really easy to get the length exactly right for your window, as it has two sections. A thinner section slides inside a wider one, which means you can quickly adjust the length to fit the window, without cutting either section. Our extendable curtain pole kits include brackets, curtain rings and finials, as well as the two pole sections – so you can fit the pole and hang your curtains without buying any extras.

An extendable curtain pole is a great option if you’re likely to move in the short or medium term too, because you can take your curtain pole with you even if the windows in your new home are a different size. And it’s a good investment if you’re dressing a home for sale and want to be able to use the pole on future projects.

Get the size just right

The length of pole you can create with an extendable kit ranges from 120cm to 300cm. If you need a pole any longer than that, it’s best to look at our metal curtain poles, which include options for up to 500cm. As with any other pole, make sure you order one that extends to at least 30cm longer than the width of your window. Then you can position the pole so there’s around 15cm either side of the window, which lets you stack your curtains away and maximise the light coming into the room.

When it comes to the diameter of extendable curtain poles, we offer two options – 16-19mm or 25-28mm. The smallest size for each is the thinner pole in the kit and the largest size is the thicker pole it slides inside. Both are suitable for light to medium-weight curtains.

Styles for all interiors

Our extendable curtain pole ranges include kits from Speedy, Swish and Universal – brands we trust to provide high quality and a variety of attractive designs. With colours including brass, black, chrome, cream, graphite and silver, there are options for every kind of interior. And our wide choice of finials lets you choose a look that’s ideal for you – whether you want your curtain pole to stand out or blend in.
