Choosing the Correct Stem Length
The Peppard wood curtain holdback is available with either a 10 cm or 16 cm stem.
The 10 cm stem is generally suitable for lighter curtains, smaller windows or curtains with a modest stack back. This is typically the best choice for lightweight fabrics or curtains with a single lining.
The 16 cm stem is recommended where the curtain stack back is deeper, such as wider windows, heavier fabrics or curtains with multiple linings. The additional projection allows the curtains to sit naturally without appearing compressed against the wall.
A simple way to judge the correct size is to place a straight rule approximately 5 cm beyond the window reveal and gently gather the curtain back into its natural resting position. Measuring the depth of the curtain stack will give a good indication of the stem length required.
Fitting Wooden Curtain Holdbacks
Each holdback is supplied with a concealed timber fixing dowel together with wall plugs and screws. Insert one end of the dowel into the pre-drilled hole in the holdback, fit the wall plug into the drilled fixing hole and then screw the dowel securely into the wall.
The height and position of the holdback are largely a matter of personal preference. Positioning the holdback lower creates a softer, more relaxed appearance, while a higher position gives a more formal, tailored look.
Available Finishes
Peppard wood curtain holdbacks are available in all of our standard stained and painted finishes, together with an unfinished option for customers wishing to apply their own finish.
We also offer a bespoke painted finish to match your chosen colour. Bespoke painted holdbacks should be ordered together with a bespoke painted curtain pole set to ensure a consistent finish.
Compatibility
Peppard wood curtain holdbacks are suitable for use with both our 40 mm and 50 mm wooden curtain pole collections. The choice of holdback is independent of the curtain pole diameter, with stem length determined solely by the size and weight of your curtains.
If you would like advice on selecting the correct holdback or need assistance with installation, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are always happy to help.
