Rated ExcellentWe offer a wide range of metal curtain poles specifically designed for 3 sided bay windows. While bay windows can often seem difficult to dress, our collection makes it easy to achieve a stylish, practical finish. Each bay window pole kit includes the components needed for installation, including corner joints, adjustable brackets and passing rings, allowing your curtains to move smoothly around the bends.
What length of pole do I need?
Before choosing a curtain pole, you'll need to measure each section of your bay window individually. This will help you determine the correct pole lengths required for your installation. If you're unsure where to start, take a look at our guide on how to measure for bay window curtain poles.
Which 3 Sided Bay Window Pole Kit Is Right for My Window?
Because every bay window is different, consider the angles between each section, the total width of the bay, your curtain weight and how you want the curtains to travel around the corners.
Our 3 sided bay pole range includes 28mm and 35mm systems from Speedy, Universal, Rolls and Elvora. Different systems use different corner joints and bracket arrangements, so check the individual product details to make sure the pole is suitable for the angles and curtain weight you need.
Should I Fix My Bay Window Pole to the Wall or Ceiling?
Choosing the correct fixing method is one of the most important decisions when installing a bay window curtain pole.
Wall fixing is usually the preferred option, but you'll typically need at least 10cm of clear space above the window and a suitable surface to fix the brackets securely. In some cases, a timber batten may need to be installed above the window to provide a secure fixing point.
If there isn't enough space above the window, ceiling fixing may be the better solution. Ceiling brackets are fitted directly into the ceiling and can be particularly useful for modern homes or difficult installations. Always ensure you fix into ceiling joists or use suitable plasterboard fixings where required.
What If My Bay Window Has More Than Three Sides?
No problem. We also offer a range of 5 sided bay window curtain poles designed for larger and more complex bay window configurations.
