Rated ExcellentDouble curtain poles allow you to hang two layers of window dressing from the same set of brackets. They're ideal for combining main curtains with voiles, sheers or another lightweight curtain, giving you greater control over privacy, light and insulation.
Our range includes double metal curtain poles from Hallis, Rolls and Speedy in a choice of finishes, lengths and pole configurations. Options are available for both traditionally headed and eyelet curtains, with selected ranges available in lengths up to 600cm.
How do double curtain poles work?
A double curtain pole uses two parallel poles mounted one behind the other. The front pole is normally used for the main curtains, while the rear pole can be used for a lighter voile, sheer or secondary curtain.
The diameter and configuration of the two poles varies between ranges, so check the individual product specification rather than choosing on diameter alone.
Choosing the right double curtain pole
Start by deciding what you want to hang on each pole. If you're using eyelet curtains on the front pole, choose a double pole specifically designed for eyelet curtains. For traditionally headed curtains, check that the required curtain rings are included with your chosen product.
You'll also need to consider the combined weight of both sets of curtains and the projection required from the wall. Check each product page for the recommended curtain weight, pole diameters, bracket projection and exact components supplied.
Most double curtain poles can be shortened if required, while longer sizes may be supplied in multiple sections with joining components and additional support brackets. Full size and fitting information is shown on each product page.
