Rods and Rings vs Traverse Rebate Rods/ Half Round Rods
Rods and Rings may be appealing visually but not practical with opening and closing of curtains. Curtain Rails are very practical with use of curtains but are also unsightly, hence Traverse Rebate Rods or Half Round Rods are used to cover the curtain rails.

Finials
Finials are decorative Ends to complete the Curtain Rods. Finials vary from decorative designs to simpler, plain designs. Finial designs are complimented with a matching Curtain Holdback.

End Caps
End Caps are used in place of protruding Finials, to complete the Curtain Rods.

Joining Sleeves
Joining Sleeves are primarily used for covering joins for extended curtain rod lengths but may also be used for decorative purposes.

Holdbacks
Holdbacks are used for supporting Curtains and are supplied with Curved Arms (standard) or Voil, Side Wall Mount and Pin arms. Curtain Holdbacks have matching Finial Designs.

Colour Range
Curzon offer the full range of curtain hardware with custom colours. These colours are applied by hand and include Gilded, Paint and Wood Stain finishes. Colours may also be matched to sample colours or fabric swatches, if required.

Gilding
This is not a paint effect but rather a Gold or Silver Metal Leaf that is part of the gilding process. Gilding is a fragile product and therefore Curtain Rings cannot be used with Curtain Rods, unless for permanent drape purposes, i.e. fixed curtains.

Samples
Sampling is available at no charge. Showroom display sampling is available, less 50%. Sample packs include 5 colour rods, 10 finials and a colour belt.

Packaging
For freight, all goods are either bubble or foam wrapped and packed in a cardboard box. Curtain rods are wrapped in foam and packed in a cardboard tube.

Lead Time
Depending on size and complexity of order, production lead time is approximately 1 week - 10 days. Urgent orders may be processed within a couple days but this needs to be followed up to ensure a timely delivery.
