Leaving her feels like I'm giving up my dream. I smell the vague Sulphur and toxins leaking through the seals, yet somehow I'm going to miss this place. I think my knees almost gave out!Īs I log this, I look out the stained plastic of my field tent into the dead-yellow sky of Earth. I can't believe I'll be working with one of my childhood heroes, Archimidean Margulis! On comms she said she needed the best Infestation biologist there was. Value for money is present in these rods.My bags are packed, I'm all set to leave. Doing the whole house was a chunk of change but very well worth the money. I would buy again, do recommend, would gift someone. not weak and flimsy like what you get at big box mass retailers (that is what we replaced). The pole top drapes move fairly smooth without getting hung up on the adjustable rod seam. The grommet topped are a bit “fluffy” at the top and don’t move smoothly with drapes but it is not a deficiency in the rod. The sheers are grommet topped and the drapes are pole top. The blackout wrap around corner works exactly as it should. It worked well and I don’t have any dipping in the middle and don’t need the support bracket having it be two solid pieces in the middle of the span. We used a rotary pipe cutter (used in plumbing pipe cutting from the hardware store) to trim off the excess length. I chose the longest length (too long) for the patio door to avoid using the center support bracket so that the drapes could be pulled back to the non-door side. It goes much faster as you get into the project. The installation is simple, but best achieved with two people.
The satin nickel finish is a tasteful modern look.
I would have preferred the oil rubbed bronze but they did not have enough stock in all the right sizes for me to do the whole house. They all have the mollies for drywall support, but we have a log home so all my installation was into solid wood. I have installed them throughout the whole house just beyond the window frames where possible to maximize the window in daytime. I have teamed them with sheers for daytime privacy and blackout velvet drapes. We like to be late sleepers and I am very light sensitive.
Umbra twilight double install#
They were easy to install and can support the weight of the thermal blackout curtains. I purchased two of these rods in 48 to 88 inch and definitely lucked out getting these great rods before they disappeared in my size. The curtains glide easily on the round rod unlike the old fashion oblong rod I was using. Very happy to see nice filtered light of the day with sheers behind the blackouts. After all was said and done, the look is great. Slide the curtains onto the rod and extend rod out to where you can support one on the bracket (only if you don't have a center support) while screwing the other end in. Just attach the clips to the wall (hardware and instructions supplied), screw the rods out of the rounded corner bracket and slide bracket onto the clips. I wasn't sure how difficult a task it would be to install when I purchased them but was actually pretty simple. The rod allows the blackout curtain to wrap around like a traverse rod to better block the light. I wanted to add sheers behind the blackouts to allow privacy when opening in the daytime. I had never seen this type of double rod and was happy to find this Umbra Twilight Rod.
