FAQs

Are these curtains truly blackout?

Yes, the Velosso Onyx curtains are designed with a specialized thermal blackout fabric to effectively block 100% of outside light, creating a completely dark environment when closed.

Do they help with room temperature?

Absolutely. The thermal properties of the fabric act as an insulator, helping to keep your room cooler in warm weather by blocking heat from the sun and warmer in cold weather by reducing heat loss through the windows.

What kind of curtain rod do I need?

These curtains feature an eyelet design, meaning they are designed to easily slide onto a standard curtain rod. Ensure your rod's diameter is suitable for the eyelets for smooth operation.

How do I choose the correct size for my window?

Measure the width of your curtain rod (not the window) and multiply by 1.5 to 2 for a good gather. For length, measure from the top of your curtain rod to your desired finish point (e.g., windowsill, floor). Select the nearest available size.

Can I wash these curtains?

> Info needed: For specific cleaning and care instructions, always refer to the care label attached to the curtains. Generally, thermal blackout curtains require gentle care, often involving spot cleaning or specific low-temperature washes to protect the special backing.

Will these curtains fade over time?

While the black color is generally resilient, direct and prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can affect fabric over many years. Proper care and occasional rotation of panels (if applicable) can help maintain their appearance.

Troubleshooting

Curtains do not block all light.

Ensure the curtains are wider than your window frame and extend beyond the edges of the window to prevent light leakage. Check for gaps at the top, bottom, or sides. A wrap-around curtain rod or pelmet might be considered for maximum blackout.

Curtains do not hang smoothly or evenly.

Verify that your curtain rod is level and securely mounted. Evenly space the eyelets along the rod and gently adjust the fabric folds to create a consistent drape. Sometimes, gently pressing the folds by hand can help them settle.

Curtains appear wrinkled from packaging.

> Info needed: Refer to the care label for specific instructions on how to safely remove wrinkles. Often, a low-heat iron on the fabric side (avoiding the blackout backing) or steaming can help. Hanging them for a few days may also allow wrinkles to naturally relax.

Curtains are the wrong size for my window.

Double-check your window and curtain measurements against the product's listed dimensions. Unfortunately, as these are ready-made, alterations are not recommended as they may compromise the blackout and thermal properties. If significantly off, consider exchanging for a more appropriate size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting your Velosso Onyx Thermal Blackout Curtains ready is straightforward, thanks to their practical design.

Setup Instructions

  1. Measure Your Window: Before purchase, measure the width and height of your window. For eyelet curtains, it's generally recommended that the curtain width be 1.5 to 2 times the width of your curtain pole to achieve a full, gathered look when closed. For length, measure from the top of your curtain pole to where you want the curtain to end (e.g., sill length, below sill, or floor length).
  2. Install Curtain Rod: Ensure you have a sturdy curtain rod securely installed above your window frame. The rod should extend at least 15-30 cm (6-12 inches) beyond the window frame on each side to allow the curtains to fully cover the window when closed.
  3. Hang the Curtains: Simply slide the eyelets of the curtains onto your curtain rod. Alternate the direction of the first and last eyelet for a neat finish, allowing the fabric to fold naturally.
  4. Adjust the Gather: Evenly distribute the fabric along the rod to create your desired pleat and gather, ensuring smooth movement.

Compatibility

  • Curtain Rods: These eyelet curtains are designed for use with standard curtain rods. Ensure your rod's diameter is compatible with the eyelet size for smooth gliding.
  • Window Sizes: With a variety of ready-made sizes available, these curtains are compatible with most common window dimensions. Always check the specific curtain dimensions against your window and pole measurements.

Care Instructions

> Info needed: Specific washing, drying, ironing, and cleaning instructions should be detailed on the product's care label. Generally, thermal blackout curtains may require gentle washing or spot cleaning to maintain their integrity and blackout properties. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat, which can damage the thermal backing.
