American Blinds Prestige 1 3/16 Inch Custom Modern Metal Drapery Hardware

Product Information

The Modern Metal Drapery Hardware is a set of brackets, poles, rings, and finials designed for installing drapery in a modern style. The hardware is made of durable metal and is available in various finishes. The set includes two types of brackets: IRATI Bracket and FRENCH RETURN Bracket. The hardware is easy to install and provides a secure and stylish solution for hanging drapes.

• IRATI Bracket
  The IRATI Bracket is used for standard installations and provides a sleek and minimalist look. It consists of a backplate and a bracket that can be assembled together. The bracket opening can be adjusted vertically for proper alignment. The top of the bracket will rise 1 inch above the pole.

• FRENCH RETURN Bracket:
  The FRENCH RETURN Bracket is used for installations where the drapes need to return to the wall. It also includes a decorative base plate cover for an added aesthetic touch. The top of the bracket’s decorative base plate cover will rise 1 inch above the pole.

• Optional Splice:
  If your drapery pole set is longer than 96 inches, it will come as two separate poles. In this case, a center bracket must be used on the splice where the poles meet for additional support.
