Find the right pole extension length for your home ceiling height. Learn how to measure, choose, and install a Lupit pole extension for a secure setup.
Quick answer
Measure your ceiling height first, then compare it to your pole's standard range. A Lupit Pole G2 extension adds up to 530 mm of height. Choose a 50 cm extension if your ceiling is between 2800 mm and 3330 mm for standard G2 poles.
How to Measure Your Ceiling Height
Use a tape measure from floor to ceiling in the exact spot where you plan to mount the pole. Ceilings can vary by a few millimeters even in the same room, so measure in at least two places. Write down the measurement in millimeters to avoid confusion when comparing with pole specifications.
Remember that your pole needs a few millimeters of compression to stay secure. Most poles require a ceiling height that is 5–15 mm less than the pole's maximum extension. Always check the manufacturer's recommended range before buying an extension.
When You Need a Pole Extension
A pole extension is necessary when your ceiling height exceeds the maximum height of your standard pole. For example, the Lupit Pole G2 standard models cover ceilings up to 2800 mm. If your ceiling is 2900 mm, you need an extension to bridge the gap.
Extensions also help if you move your pole to a different room with a higher ceiling. Instead of buying a whole new pole, you can add an extension to adjust the height. This makes extensions a cost-effective solution for growing dancers or changing spaces.
Understanding the Lupit G2 Extension Options
The Lupit Pole G2 extension is available in a 45 mm diameter, which matches the classic G2 pole diameter. It comes in several finishes: chrome, stainless steel, powder coated black, powder coated white, and powder coated desert flower. Choose a finish that matches your existing pole for a seamless look.
For standard G2 poles, a 50 cm extension accommodates ceiling heights from 2800 mm to 3330 mm. If your pole uses the Quick Lock™ system, the same extension works for ceilings from 2834 mm to 3334 mm. Always verify your pole model before ordering.
Decision rules for choosing a pole extension
- Measure twice, buy once: Measure your ceiling height in millimeters at the installation spot. Compare it to your pole's maximum height. If the ceiling is higher, you need an extension. Write down your ceiling height and pole model before shopping.
- Match diameter and system: Extensions are not universal. A Lupit G2 extension only fits Lupit G2 classic or diamond poles. Check that the diameter (45 mm) and locking system (standard or Quick Lock™) match your pole. Verify compatibility with your pole model to avoid returns.
- Account for compression: Poles need a few millimeters of compression to stay secure. The extension's stated height range already includes this allowance, but double-check that your ceiling falls within the range. If your ceiling is at the very top of the range, consider a longer extension for safety.
