My client wants a heavy curtain fitted halfway up an ancient stone spiral staircase to stop the cold air. I have fitted a brass pole on the wooden lintel but the projection of the brackets means that there is a 10cm gap between the pole& lintel. When you look up at the curtain this gap is very obvious, and it means that the cold air can still get through. What I need is a header of some sort that will sit between the lintel and the pole and fill the gap between the back of the pole and the lintel. The curtain front will be seen as you come up the staircase and so I am effectively hanging the curtain backwards on the pole. The back of the curtain will also be seen when you come down the stairs so I want to avoid undightly header tape & hooks I will consider having the brackets made shorter to pull the pole nearer the lintel, but wondered if anyone had any other ideas. The curtain is being re-made from ancient, holey wool!! and is going to be virtually flat. I am going to interline it and line in matching coloured lining.
