FAQs
Can I machine wash these curtains?
No, these Fusion Cannes Eyelet Curtains are made from 100% cotton with a special lining and require dry cleaning at a low temperature to maintain their quality and functional properties. Machine washing, tumble drying, ironing, or bleaching can cause damage.
What size curtain pole do I need?
These curtains are designed for a curtain pole width between 90cm and 160cm. Each panel has 8 brushed silver eyelet rings with a 40mm diameter, so ensure your pole is compatible with this ring size.
How many curtain panels are included in a pack?
Each pack of Fusion Cannes Eyelet Curtains contains two individual curtain panels, providing full coverage for windows within the recommended pole width.
Do these curtains block 100% of light?
The curtains feature a blackout lining designed to significantly block out light. While they offer excellent room darkening, achieving 100% blackout can depend on how well the curtains cover the entire window and if there are any light leaks around the edges of the pole or window frame.
Are these curtains suitable for reducing noise?
Yes, the thick 100% cotton weave combined with the insulated polyester lining helps to dampen outside noise, contributing to a quieter and more peaceful indoor environment.
What is the benefit of the thermal lining?
The thermal lining helps to regulate your room's temperature. It keeps heat inside during winter, reducing cold drafts, and reflects heat away from the window during summer, helping to keep your room cooler and potentially lowering energy costs.
What material are the eyelet rings made from?
The eyelet rings are made from brushed silver metal and have a 40mm diameter.
Troubleshooting
Curtains don't block enough light.
Ensure the curtain pole extends sufficiently beyond the window frame, allowing the curtains to cover the entire window area when closed. Check for any gaps at the top, sides, or bottom and adjust positioning to minimize light leakage. Consider adding a blackout blind underneath for maximum darkness.
Curtains don't glide smoothly on the pole.
Check if the curtain pole is clean and free of dust or debris. Ensure the pole diameter is appropriate for the 40mm eyelet rings. If the pole is telescopic, make sure the join is smooth. Lubricating the pole lightly with a silicone-based spray (ensure it's fabric-safe) might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Curtains appear wrinkled or creased.
As these curtains are dry clean only, avoid attempting to iron them at home. The dry cleaning process usually includes pressing, which should remove most creases. For minor wrinkles, hanging them for a few days can allow gravity to naturally smooth out the fabric. A fabric steamer on a low setting and from a safe distance might be an option, but always test on a hidden section first.
Curtains don't seem to insulate effectively.
Ensure the curtains are properly drawn and covering the entire window opening with minimal gaps. Air circulation around the curtains can reduce their insulating effect. Check for drafts around the window frame itself. The thermal lining works best when it creates a sealed barrier.

Setup Installing your Fusion Cannes Eyelet Curtains is a straightforward process due to their eyelet design: 1. Install Your Curtain Pole: Ensure your curtain pole is securely mounted above your window frame. The curtains are suitable for pole widths between 90cm and 160cm. 2. Slide Eyelets Onto Pole: Gently thread each curtain panel's 8 brushed silver eyelet rings (40mm diameter) onto the curtain pole. You'll typically slide one panel from each end towards the middle. 3. Position Curtains: Once both panels are on the pole, adjust them to your desired position, ensuring they hang evenly and frame your window correctly. Create neat folds by hand for an aesthetic finish. ### Compatibility These curtains are designed for use with curtain poles only. Their eyelet header is not compatible with curtain tracks or hooks. The recommended curtain pole width is between 90cm and 160cm for optimal coverage and drape of the two panels provided. ### Care To maintain the quality, appearance, and performance of your Fusion Cannes Eyelet Curtains: * Dry Clean Only: These curtains require dry cleaning at a low temperature. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, or bleach, as this can damage the cotton fabric and the thermal/blackout lining. * Safety Warning: KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE. This is an important safety precaution for all textile products. * Regular Dusting: Occasionally dust the curtains with a soft brush or vacuum with an upholstery attachment on a low setting to prevent dust buildup.
