FAQs
What type of curtains is this tape best for?
This tape is specifically designed for lightweight curtains, such as voile or sheer fabrics, where a neat and consistent pleat is desired.
How do I calculate the amount of tape I need?
Measure the finished width of your curtain panel and multiply by two for the recommended 2x fullness. It's advisable to add a small amount for hem and overlap.
Can I use this tape for heavier curtains?
No, this tape is intended for light fabrics only. Heavier curtains may require a more robust heading tape.
How should I clean the curtain tape?
The tape can be dry-cleaned or machine washed at 30 degrees centigrade. It should be ironed on a cool setting.
Where is this tape manufactured?
The Milward Net Pleat Curtain Tape is woven in the UK.
What does '2x fullness' mean?
'2x fullness' means that when the tape is fully gathered, it creates a pleated effect that uses approximately twice the width of the fabric panel, resulting in a richer drape.
Troubleshooting
Pleats are uneven or not holding shape
Ensure the tape is sewn on straight and the curtain hooks are inserted evenly into the pockets. Verify that the fabric weight is appropriate for the tape's intended use.
Tape appears to be shrinking or warping after washing
Confirm that the washing temperature is no higher than 30 degrees centigrade and that a cool iron setting is used. Avoid high heat during drying.
Curtain hooks do not fit securely
Ensure you are using standard curtain hooks designed for this type of tape. Check that the pockets are not damaged or obstructed.
