Test lab & quality

Tested until
it's boring.

A curtain pole should be the least interesting thing in the room — because it simply works, year after year. Our quality control testing facility at Paloma, run by highly experienced technicians with the latest technology, makes sure of it before a single unit ships.

Weight & stress testing

Poles, brackets and tracks are loaded far beyond the heaviest interlined curtains — and held there — to verify every fixing and joint.

Longevity testing

Corded tracks and gliders are drawn open and closed thousands of times to prove smooth, silent operation for the life of the product.

Child safety

Our Roman blind systems are tested and certified to EN 13120, with cord break away technology and our child-safe release wheel mechanism.

UV deterioration

Finishes and polymers are exposed to accelerated UV ageing so colours and materials stay true in sunlit windows.

Temperature testing

Systems are proven across temperature extremes — from conservatory heat to unheated rooms — without warping, sticking or creaking.

Sea salt corrosion

Plated finishes endure salt-spray corrosion testing, protecting coastal installations and humid rooms alike.
