Also to know is, how much does a curtain weigh?

250cm | 4.6kg | |
300cm | 5.2kg |
Similarly, how thick should a curtain rod be? Choose a curtain rod with a diameter of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm). Thin curtain rods tend to look cheap and can bow under the weight of your drapes if they are heavy. When choosing a curtain rod, look for a rod that is at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick for good aesthetics and curtain support.
Correspondingly, how much weight can a 5'8 curtain rod hold?
9 lbs per foot and the fluted version only holds 1.5 lbs per foot. This means an 8′ wide window drapery cannot weigh more than 7.2 lbs or 12 lbs.
