2nd March 2012

A couple of days ago we blogged about Metropole curtain tracks and the wonder they hold for your room but you’ve been hard at work all week taking on the worst your city has to offer and needless to say priority wise, designing your windows is still not nearing the top. Well here at The Pole Company we can appreciate the daily trials and tribulations of busy lifestyles and are more than capable of fitting in around your schedule.

Now we are currently pushing our curtain track initiative which you might remember from our previous blog? Well like your wardrobe, sometimes you need a change of pace, so we’re proposing you look at Metro Flat curtain tracks!

Metro Flat curtain tracks are another popular product from the Silent Gliss curtain track family. Unlike Metropole, this curtain tracks has been designed more faithfully to the original curtain track design. This product has a very modern appeal with an industrial inspired look. The Metro flat curtain tracks come in 4 metallic colours (Black/Chrome /Gunmetal/Silver) up to 600cm. Like Metropole, again they can be bent to fit bay windows or any other awkward window space incredibly easily.

We have also been looking at prices here on our curtain track products and reduced the price on Metro Flat and Silent Gliss offer a 5 year guarantee on all Metro Flat products! Take advantage of our generosity! So don’t leave it One More Day, enquire about our available curtain tracks now!

Blinds and child safety is something we take very seriously here at The Pole Company. We would like to take the opportunity to talk to you about how we address the issue here, but firstly we send out or deepest sympathies to the families of the poor children who recently died as a result of blind cord accidents. This tragic events are a horrible thing to have happened and many of our staff with young families of their own are shaken by the news.

Child safety is something every parent knows a lot about and blind cords are unfortunately a hidden danger due to their heightened risk of strangulation. At The Pole Company we take every opportunity to ensure your blinds are safe and child friendly. As we work with some of the UK’s biggest blind companies such as Luxaflex, we aim to meet their high standard of safety. We also work within the British Blinds and Shutter Association (BBSA) for more on their safety tips and awareness please follow this link Make it safe blinds.

During our personal consultations we aim to advise not only the best quality of service but also the safest approach. All our shop staff are highly trained to manage product safety and have years of experience to help in every situation.

Metropole Explained

27th February 2012

Whether you’re swinging around the city, engaging in illustrious altercations with fellow super powered individuals or simply overwhelmed with the hustle and bustle of everyday life it can be difficult to find to consider the precarious well being of your home environment. As always your friendly neighbourhood Pole Company has the solution at hand.

If you could lower your web-shooters for a second and resist leaping back into action for a few more we would like to cast your mind back to last week where we mentioned our intention of promoting curtain tracks on our site as a potential alternative to curtain poles (see the blog itself for more details).

Of course its up to you, some people prefer the thought of curtain poles holding up their curtains rather than curtain tracks, but if you feel your windows are currently sporting a quick fix soltuion and need something new then here’s an idea which could help you out. The curtain track product we would like to introduce is the wonderful Metropole range. The range itself combines beautiful decorative curtain pole designs with the function of a traditional curtain track, essentially giving you the best of both worlds. Is your Spidey Sense tingling yet?

At a closer look this particular range of curtain track comes in 3 diameters, 23mm, 30mm and 50mm in lengths up to 600cm. The Metropole curtain track systems are available in two formats Hand Drawn and Cord Drawn. However please note that the cord drawn Metropole option is not available in 23mm.

A stunning combination of pole and curtain track

Colours for the range include White, Black, Diva Gold, Chrome, Oak, Mahogany and many more. All look incredibly stylish while also a perfect for each and every Spider costume you may find yourself in over the years. Again note that the large selection of colours is dependent on the diameter, so please check before purchasing! Finials available online include the Spear and Ball, however we do sell an extensive range in the shop. Take a look at the online brochure which can be found with each Silent Gliss product or here. If you see a product you like please contact us.

All Metropole products can be bent to the necessary angle, which makes them perfect for bay windows. They are not however suitable to bend around a Green Goblin’s head but they are able to easily fit into very awkward window spaces.

Bay Windows perfect for Bay windows

So you’ve read what Metropole has to offer, but I know you’re thinking ‘With all this power…’ where is the responsibility right? Well all Silent Gliss products, including Metropole, have a 5 year guarentee! See here for details.

We’ve loaded a few curtain track lifestyle shots for you to have a look at which might spark your interest so check them out in our gallery here! Please look at our Facebook group and Twitter profile. Thanks for reading, now get back to swinging webs and catching thieves just like flies.

P.S Looking forward to the new film, Spidey!

Gallery!

2nd February 2012

As a customer it is important to know what you’re buying. When customers visit our shop no matter if they’re looking for curtain poles, blinds, shutters or even a spare holdback we endeavor to show the product in the best possible manner to let the customer walk away feeling confident in their final choice. On our website, depending on which product interests you, we want to help make sure that it is the right decision for you.

With this in mind we are highlighting our Gallery section! Our gallery section is situated on our menu bar and in a nutshell is the home place of all of our images. In this section you will find numerous images of all our work and interior shots to accompany a lot of our products. Here’s a little rundown of what is in the section already:

Bay Window project in Cheyne Walk – This bay window project dates back to last year and is one of our first Gallery items. This shows off one of our bigger jobs in London. Have a look at the finished job or read about it here in one of our first blogs!

What we do – This is a handful of images which establish who we are as a company. The album shows off a project we completed in a local hotel but includes curtain poles, blinds and shutters of all shapes and sizes, letting our work speak for itself.

Children’s Blackout Blinds – A very brief album showing off a few of our children’s Blackout blinds option. A very simple album just to highlight that we can work with any environment.

TPC Designed Finials – This is one of our collaboration efforts with one of the local companies to create a stunning new finial for their latest range. If you would like to read more about this new finial and see how it came about why not take a look at our previous blog about it here.

Out of the Fire – Here we decided to expand on one of our most popular lines. This particular range deals solely in Wrought Iron Curtain poles, and is sourced locally. Why not take a look at it to admire if nothing else.

Walcot House curtain pole collection – This is an example of another popular range on our site which we thought deserved more attention. This modern range is shown off in a bunch of spectacular photos ranging from close ups of some of the finials to interior shots with a curtain pole perfectly slotted into a homely scene.

Shutters Feel Inspired! This is the latest of our gallery items. An array of shutter pics showing off even more of our work. This details all types of shutters on a number of different scales.

A glimpse of our brand new gallery section!

We will be adding more to our Gallery section as the months go on, but in the meantime have a look at our current gallery items as mentioned above. If you would like anymore information about the gallery items or have any ideas on what you would like to see in our gallery section then please contact us.

Poles Only; The Only choice.

17th January 2012

Choices are a big part of everyday life. Throughout the day, we make choices, some more subconscious than others but all of which contribute to determine/effect where we are and how we feel at the end of that day. Its even a choice as to whether you choose to continue reading the rest of this blog!

At The Pole Company we understand that choice is an integral part of everyone’s lives, so we have decided to expand the choice by adding a new section with more products. However being able to make more choices is one thing but having more control over those choices is another. So with that in mind we would like to Introduce our Poles Only Section!

The Poles Only section allows you the customer to have the freedom of building your own curtain pole set! You begin with a single curtain pole which you could purchase straight away or you could add Finials, Brackets and Rings in whichever quantity suits you (The individual curtain poles and curtain pole accessories all come with relevant information to help when choosing your quantities). Then if you would like to add even more to your set, try adding other less essential curtain accessories such as Holdbacks or for Bay windows why not try a corner piece.

The Curtain Pole-the first step to building your set.

The section itself has been live and was briefly mentioned in our last blog (All about New Years Resolutions which if you haven’t already you can read here), but now it is full of the relevant brands. The brands and ranges included in our new section our Decotec, Modern Country, Neo, Integra Inspired, Jones Hardwick & Lunar, and The Painted Curtain Pole Company. All fantastic brands with extensive component choices.

So if you are looking to buy a curtain pole set from us why not try buying it from our Poles Only section? Its very straightforward and lets you know exactly what you’re buying! So give it a go! For more information please contact us or visit our Facebook and Twitter profiles.

Need a New Years Resolution? Let Integra inspire you this Jannuary!!

10th January 2012

So we find ourselves in 2012 and with every new year we are prompted with the need for change and general self improvement through the dreaded New Year’s Resolution. Well if you’ve struggled for Inspiration this year or maybe given up entirely on the idea, why not treat your house, or more precisely your windows to a resolution instead? If you’re searching for inspiration why not take a look at our new metal curtain pole range Inspired by Integra?

You may think its easy for us to bring up New Year Resolutions and not mention what we’re up to for ours, but we are joining in too. Other than working harder, generating more sales and ensuring all our staff own expensive sports cars by 2013, we are also making a few changes online all beginning with our Inspired metal curtain pole range. This range is a prime product in our shop but this year we are aiming to increase our online selection by adding a lot of showroom based curtain poles to this site one way or another. So Integra Inspired is the first in what could be a very long line of ‘showroom only’ curtain poles to make online appearances (Watch this blog for more information about these curtain poles very soon!)

Integra Inspired is a beautiful addition as a range that we are extremely glad to welcome onboard to the site. The range is fairly compact with only 2 separate diameters, 19mm and 28mm.

The 19mm part of the range has 6 different modern finials to choose from including the Nera Moda in Torino/Rimini/Napoli/Sienna/Milano/Sorrento. Don’t let the names worry you, these are exquisite designs, follow the links for a closer inspection. The only available curtain pole colour for the 19mm section of the range comes in a Satin Nickel, which makes choosing your curtain pole for this diameter even easier.

Milano-As stunning as it sounds.

For the 28mm section we have a greater selection of colours. The curtain poles available in 28mm are Satin Nickel, Chrome and Black Nickel. The finials include Ronda/Quaza/Sphera/Zara again why not feed your curiosity and follow the links to our finials section for further information.

The range is made up of components so this fits in perfectly with our poles only section! Where you can mix and match the components to create your own Integra curtain pole set. But for those who would prefer a quick and easier way you can pick up a standard set from our Inspired range in our main curtain pole section, under metal curtain poles. One we made earlier!

Available as both sets and components!

So that concludes our introduction to Inspire from Integra. Its a superb range that definitely could fulfill your home’s New Years Resolution! Look at our complete sets here or try building your own in our poles only section. Please contact us for more information if you are interested by this Integra range! As always join our Facebook and Twitter profiles for new and related content.

Thanks for reading!
