OHS Thermal Matte Velvet Eyelet Curtains - Silver

While the OHS Thermal Matte Velvet Eyelet Curtains are made from a thick, dense fabric that significantly dims a room and offers excellent light reduction, they are not specifically advertised as 100% blackout curtains. They will block a substantial amount of light, but some ambient light may still filter through.

It is generally recommended to professionally dry clean these velvet curtains to preserve their luxurious texture and thermal properties. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth for small marks is acceptable, but machine washing is typically not advised for velvet.

These curtains feature an eyelet (ring top) design, so they require a curtain pole. Ensure the pole's diameter is compatible with the eyelet rings and that it is strong enough to support the weight of the velvet curtains.

Yes, the thick and dense velvet material of these curtains can help to absorb sound waves, contributing to a noticeable reduction in external noise and creating a quieter, more peaceful indoor environment.

To remove wrinkles, you can use a garment steamer on a low setting, holding it a few inches from the fabric. Alternatively, hanging the curtains for a few days can allow gravity to naturally smooth out most creases. Avoid direct, hot ironing on the velvet pile.

The 'thermal' benefit refers to the curtains' ability to create an insulating barrier at your window. This helps to keep your room warmer in winter by preventing heat loss and cooler in summer by blocking out external heat, potentially leading to energy savings.

Ensure the curtain pole is perfectly level. Adjust the spacing of the eyelets on the pole to create uniform pleats and check that the length of both curtain panels is consistent.

Verify that the curtains cover the entire window frame when closed, extending slightly beyond the edges to minimize gaps where air can escape or enter. Check for drafts around the window itself.

Gently steam the affected areas with a garment steamer, holding it a safe distance away. Alternatively, hang the curtains and allow gravity to naturally pull out creases over time. Avoid harsh pressing.

Check that the curtain pole is clean and free of obstructions. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant spray applied to the top of the pole (avoiding curtain fabric) can improve gliding. Ensure the pole diameter is appropriate for the eyelet size.
