FAQs

What is a pencil pleat heading?

A pencil pleat heading is a traditional curtain top that features evenly spaced pockets or loops sewn into the header tape, where curtain hooks are inserted. This creates neat, pencil-like pleats when the curtain is drawn.

Are these curtains blackout?

These curtains are fully lined and designed for room darkening, which significantly reduces light. However, they are not typically classified as 'blackout' curtains, which aim for complete light elimination.

How do I measure for these curtains?

Measure the width of your curtain track and the desired drop from the track to where you want the curtain to end. Choose a curtain width that is approximately 1.5 to 2 times the width of your track for adequate fullness.

Can I tumble dry these curtains?

Yes, you can tumble dry these curtains on a low heat setting. It is recommended to remove them while slightly damp and iron to prevent excessive creasing.

What is the guarantee period?

The curtains come with a 1-year guarantee.

What does 'multi yarn jacquard weave' mean?

This refers to a weaving technique where multiple yarns are used in the same woven fabric to create a design. Jacquard weaving allows for intricate patterns, like the geometric design on these curtains, to be woven directly into the material.

What are the dimensions of the curtains shown?

The product specifications list dimensions of H:137.0 x W:117.0 x D:0.5 cm, which likely refers to one panel of a specific size. The curtains are available in a choice of 9 sizes.

Troubleshooting

Curtains do not hang straight

Ensure curtain hooks are evenly spaced and fully inserted into the pencil pleat tape. Check that the curtain track is level.

Reduced room darkening effect

Verify that the curtains are fully lined. Ensure there are no significant gaps around the edges of the window frame where light can enter.

Fabric appears creased after washing

Iron the curtains on a medium heat setting while slightly damp, or use a steam iron. Ensure they are properly dried according to care instructions.

Colour fading

Avoid direct prolonged exposure to sunlight where possible, as this can cause fading over time. Follow washing instructions to maintain colour vibrancy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These curtains feature a pencil pleat taped top heading, requiring a curtain track with hooks. Ensure your curtain track is wide enough to accommodate the curtains, and the hooks are inserted evenly into the tape pleats for a neat appearance. Adjust hook placement to achieve the desired fullness.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard curtain tracks designed for pencil pleat headings. Ensure the dimensions (height and width) of the chosen curtain pair match your window size for optimal coverage and appearance.

Care: Machine washable at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting and iron on a medium setting. For best results, wash separately. Avoid dry cleaning.
