Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Measure: Before purchasing, measure your window width and desired length to ensure adequate coverage. For pencil pleats, curtains should be at least 1.5 to 2.5 times the width of your track or pole for a good gather.
- Gather Pleats: Lay the curtains flat. Pull the cords at one end of the pencil pleat tape to gather the fabric to your desired width. Secure the cords by tying them off.
- Insert Hooks: Insert curtain hooks into the woven pockets on the back of the pencil pleat tape, spacing them evenly. Ensure the hooks are inserted at a consistent height.
- Hang Curtains: Attach the hooks to the gliders on your curtain track or rings on your curtain pole. Adjust the pleats evenly across the width for a symmetrical look.
Compatibility
These curtains are designed for use with standard curtain tracks or poles that utilize curtain hooks and rings/gliders. Ensure your existing hardware is compatible with standard curtain hooks.
Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your curtains, follow these care guidelines:
- Material: 100% Polyester with triple weave blockout fabric lining.
- Washing: Machine wash on a light cycle with cold or lukewarm water. Avoid hot water to prevent damage to the fabric or blackout properties.
- Drying: Line dry only. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the blackout layer and fabric. Hang immediately after washing to help reduce wrinkles.
- Ironing: Info needed: [If ironing is needed, use a very low heat setting and iron on the reverse side (lining side) or use a pressing cloth. Avoid direct high heat on the chenille fabric.]
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Dry Cleaning: Info needed: [Check label for specific dry cleaning instructions, if applicable, but machine washing is recommended for convenience.]
