Architectural Notes & Living Patina Care
Can the cafe rod be cut down to fit custom window widths?
Yes! Because the tubing is 100% solid brass (not thin wrapped steel), it can easily be trimmed to any exact length using a standard handheld pipe cutter or fine hacksaw in under 2 minutes.
What ring size fits the 1/2" brass cafe rod?
We recommend 3/4" or 1" inside-diameter solid brass curtain rings for smooth, snag-free gliding.
