Why Choose Wrought Iron Curtain Rods?

There are many reasons to select wrought iron curtain rods - they are beautiful, decorative, durable and most importantly match well with any style of home decor. They add a touch of class to your home. Let's know more about wrought iron curtain rods and their qualities that have made them today's popular choice.

• These curtain rods are available in many styles and designs. You will find them in attractive designs- stars, plants and animal motifs to match your drapery hardware and any other type of home furnishings.
• Apart from their traditional black, brown and metallic colors, they are now available in a wide range of colors.
• Many manufacturers today make complimentary accessories to match the wrought iron curtain rods like curtain rings, curtain rod brackets, curtain shelf brackets etc. Just choose curtain rods complete with matching hardware and blend them with textures of your home.
• They come in various lengths and can accommodate 28 to 130 inches wide windows. However, with the shooting creativity of the home dwellers and interior designers, the windows can even be wider than 130 inches. It then becomes difficult to find such a long curtain rod. After a certain length even wrought iron starts to bend, irrespective of the support given to it. Wrought iron curtain rod manufacturers have found solution to this problem too. They suggest using two rods or even three for longer window treatments. A two rod, two finial combo can manage the length well. As wrought iron curtain rods separate into two equal parts, they can be mixed and matched to create a combination. By using one ball finial curtain rod and one other decorative finial rod, it is possible to interchange them so the two ball finials meet in the middle and the two more decorative finials are on the end.
• Wrought iron rods are sturdy enough to hold considerable amount of weight. However, the thicker the rod, the heavier it will be. Therefore, the support brackets and the other attachments should be strong enough to hold them up along with the weight of the curtain. The mounting surface(wall) should also be solid enough to take on the weight.
