FAQs

What is a triple weave fabric?

Triple weave refers to a fabric construction method where three layers are woven together. The middle layer is typically a dense, black thread that creates the blackout effect, while the outer layers provide the desired color, texture, and durability.

Do I need to buy separate lining for these curtains?

No, these curtains feature an innovative triple weave design with an integrated blackout layer, eliminating the need for additional linings. They are designed to be a single, complete solution.

Are these curtains good for saving energy?

Yes, the rich chenille pile creates a thermal barrier that helps insulate your room. This means they can help keep heat in during colder months and block out heat during warmer months, potentially leading to energy savings.

How do I clean these chenille curtains?

These curtains are machine washable. Use a light cycle with cold or lukewarm water and a mild detergent. They must be line dried. Do not tumble dry.

What type of heading do these curtains have?

These curtains feature a modern eyelet (also known as a ring top) header, designed for easy installation and smooth gliding on your curtain rod.

Can I use these curtains in rooms other than bedrooms or living rooms?

While specifically designed to enhance tranquillity in bedrooms and living rooms, their blackout and thermal properties can be beneficial in any room where light control, privacy, and insulation are desired.

What sizes are available for these curtains?

These curtains are available in several sizes, including approximately 110 x 137cm, 110 x 182 cm, 110 x 228 cm, 161 x 137cm, 161 x 182 cm, 161 x 228 cm, 228 x 182 cm, and 228 x 228 cm (width x drop).

Troubleshooting

Curtains are not fully blocking light.

Ensure the curtains are wide enough to extend beyond the window frame on both sides, allowing for adequate overlap. Also, check that the curtain rod is installed correctly and that the curtains are fully closed, without gaps at the top or sides.

Curtains do not hang smoothly or have uneven pleats.

Adjust the spacing of the eyelets on the curtain rod. Distribute the fabric evenly between each eyelet to create consistent folds. Ensure the rod itself is level and properly supported.

Curtains feel stiff or have lost their softness after washing.

Always use a light wash cycle and a mild detergent. Ensure they are line dried completely. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can affect the fabric's texture and composition. A gentle shake after washing and during drying can help restore softness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Measure Your Window: Before purchasing, measure your window's width and drop accurately to select the correct curtain size. Remember to account for overhang on either side of the window for maximum light block.
  2. Install Curtain Rod: Ensure your curtain rod is securely installed and extends beyond the window frame to allow the curtains to fully cover the opening when closed.
  3. Hang Curtains: Simply slide the eyelet rings over your curtain rod. The eyelet header is designed for easy installation and smooth movement.
  4. Arrange Folds: Once hung, gently arrange the fabric into even folds to achieve the desired aesthetic and ensure optimal blackout coverage.

  • Curtain Rods: Compatible with most standard curtain rods. Ensure your rod's diameter fits comfortably through the eyelets.
  • Sizes: Available in various sizes to fit different window dimensions:
  • Approx. 110 x 137cm (43½ x 54 in)
  • Approx. 110 x 182 cm (43½ x 74 in)

Care

To maintain the quality and longevity of your curtains, follow these care instructions:

  • Machine Wash: Use a light cycle with cold or lukewarm water. Avoid hot water to prevent shrinking or damage to the fabric.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
  • Line Dry: After washing, line dry the curtains. Do not tumble dry, as this can damage the chenille pile and blackout layer.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a cool setting on the reverse side. Avoid ironing directly on the chenille pile to prevent flattening.
  • Dry Cleaning: Info needed: [Consult product label for dry cleaning suitability.]
