Kirsch Wood Trends

When selecting drapery hardware, understanding each component is key to creating a seamless and polished window treatment. This guide explains the essential parts of the Kirsch Wood Trends collection to help you build a complete drapery rod system tailored to your space.

Drapery Hardware Classification by Rod Diameter:

Drapery hardware is organized based on the diameter of the rod or pole within each collection. For example, the Kirsch Wood Trends 1 3/8" collection is designed around rods that precisely measure 1 3/8 inches in diameter, ensuring perfect compatibility among all included components.

Pole Options:

Kirsch Wood Trends poles come in four standard lengths: 4 feet, 6 feet, 8 feet, and 12 feet. Select a pole length that matches or exceeds your window width. These poles can be trimmed to achieve a custom fit. For wider windows, you can connect two poles seamlessly using the Wood Pole Connector Screw. It’s important to support each joint with a bracket positioned directly beneath to maintain stability.

Finials:

Finials are the decorative end pieces that attach to the wooden poles. Sold in pairs, Kirsch Wood Trends finials for 1 3/8" poles simply screw onto each end, allowing you to enhance your drapery’s aesthetic with classic or contemporary styles.

Bracket Styles:

Kirsch offers six bracket styles in the 1 3/8" Wood Trends collection to accommodate different mounting needs:

- Standard Brackets (3 1/2" and 4 1/4" returns): Ideal for most window treatments, providing the right distance from the wall.
- 6" Return Bracket: Designed to create extra clearance, perfect for grommet-top curtains or layered window treatments.
- Double Bracket: Facilitates a two-rod setup - one rod in front and one in back - featuring a 2 3/4" return for the back rod and 6 1/2" return for the front rod.
- Ceiling Bracket: Suitable for installations where hardware is mounted from above rather than the wall.
- Inside Mount Sockets: Specialized brackets allowing poles to be mounted within window frames or between two opposing walls.

The quantity of brackets needed generally depends on pole length: two brackets for up to 6-foot poles, and three brackets for poles 7 feet 9 inches long.

Rings:

Kirsch Wood Trends rings complement the poles and come in packages of seven. These rings enable smooth curtain movement and coordinate with the wooden rod diameter for uniform appearance and function.

Specialty Components:

For unique window configurations, Kirsch offers:

- Swivel Sockets: Perfect for bay or corner windows, these adjustable sockets allow poles to pivot between 0° and 90°. Each swivel joint requires a supporting bracket on both sides to ensure stability.
- Holdback Medallions: Decorative wall-mounted hardware pieces with a 3 3/4" face-width and an adjustable base, ideal for stylishly holding draperies open.
