Very boring, curtain hooks!!

[mickywillis]

Our Westerly Griffon curtain hooks are getting brittle and snap with regularity!
But I can't find the correct size? The attached image shows a broken one off the curtains with measured sizes shown. Had to estimate the length as this one is the best I have!
Standard ones for domestic use seem to be bigger, any ideas? A lot of websites I've visited dont give the dimensions for the products they display.
Thanks

A caravan equipment shop might have them.

If the curtains have rufflette tape at the back than you can adjust the fall of the curtain by picking a lower or higher set of the strings that the hook goes through, at least that is what I have done at home. The size of the hooks can only be marginally different.

These are 28 x 10 according to an answer to a question on the Q&A page and good for small curtains

I managed to find small curtain hooks for just this purpose fairly easily a few years back, but can't remember where from. They're not that rare.

I imagine you'll find them in caravan shops, as Poignard suggests, plus online and in proper old-fashion haberdasher's (sewing shops).

A sewing or haberdashery shop, they will have some, maybe not identical but will be suitable. You may have to buy a pack or two, then you'll have spares. That is what I've done. Curtain hooks do go brittle in sunshine from uv.

Have ordered a pack, £1.89 for 200, it's worth a shot!!

I thinkI bought mine( and the track and sliders ) from Hawke House.
I think the brand name was Silent Gliss.
I think you may find what you are looking for at a caravan accessory suppliers ( as suggested above).

I got peed off with curtains so made fan fold blackout blinds. Open, they rest folded at the bottom of the windows, closed, they lift up and hook on to a 'net curtain' wire.

I have a packet brand Swish in the size you want - £1.48 from Dunelm.

Jackson of old Arly camping and caravanning is where we got ours last lot

How many do you need? I have loads of two types left over from my house fitting.

Top ones are 11mm wide and 28mm top to tip, the bottom squarer ones are Silent Gliss and are 11mm by 26mm.
