We are thrilled to bring you a beautiful new 12mm brass pole and range of accessories especially designed to be used as a stylish cafe rod, perfect for fitting in kitchen windows, downstairs loos, hallways or any room where you'd like a little privacy whilst maximising the light. Cafe rods are slim curtain poles used to hang short net, voile or fine fabric curtains that are fitted, usually in the window recess, about a third of halfway down a window to afford some privacy without blocking the upper part of the window.
Cafe curtain rods make an excellent, and bang up to date, alternative to traditional net curtains and shutters as they enable you to add a more decorative touch to your window dressing, while ensuring you have privacy without blocking out all the light. Our 12mm brass cafe rods are made from natural, unlacquered brass and finished in our signature antiqued brass for a subtle, aged appeal. These rods can be used with any of our range of 12mm cup, recess, sleeve and capped end brackets.
- The rods are hollow, so if you wish to the button finials on a front-facing rod, they slide into the ends of the rod.
- We recommend our range of beautiful, lightweight voiles as the perfect fabric for your cafe rods, or for a slighty thicker weave, our collection of luxuriously soft linens.

FAQS
DO I NEED A CENTRE BRACKET?
12mm Brass Poles - the maximum length we would recommend without using a central bracket is 150cm
WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM LENGTH I CAN HAVE?
The
maximum length of 12mm brass pole we recommend for a cafe rod is 150cm. This ensures your cafe curtain fits fully across the length of the rod. As these rods are custom made, you can have them cut to any length, but we recommend using a
12mm Sleeve Bracket as a centre bracket if over 150cm. This means your curtain will not hang across the full length of the rod but will meet at the bracket in the middle.
WHAT FABRIC SHOULD I USE?
You can use any type of curtain fabric, but cafe rods are primarily designed with lightweight fabrics like
voiles, nets or
linens in mind, to allow as much light through while affording you some privacy.
