What are the dimensions of this specific product?

This specific product is W 168cm (66") x L 183cm (72").

Troubleshooting

Curtains do not hang evenly.

Check that curtain hooks are inserted into the pencil pleats at consistent spacing. Ensure the curtain track or pole is level.

Light still penetrates the room.

Ensure the curtains are fully extended and properly fitted to the window width. Consider using a wider curtain or adding a pelmet to cover the top gap.

Curtains appear creased after washing.

Iron on a low heat setting while the curtains are slightly damp or on the reverse side. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

This is normal for new polyester fabrics and should soften with use and gentle washing. Ensure you are using a mild detergent.
