FAQs

How much light do these curtains block?

Are tie-backs included with the curtains?

How do I wash these curtains?

The curtains are machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid bleach and tumble drying.

Troubleshooting

Curtains do not block enough light

Ensure the curtains are fully extended and cover the entire window frame, including any gaps. Check that the correct size has been selected for the window width and height. Note that they block 85-95% of light, not 100%.

Eyelets are difficult to slide on the curtain pole

Verify that the curtain pole diameter does not exceed 40mm. Ensure the pole is straight and free of obstructions. If the pole is new, check for any manufacturing defects.

Color appears slightly different than expected

Colors may vary slightly due to monitor settings and lighting conditions. Refer to product images and descriptions, and consider ordering a fabric sample if color matching is critical.

Curtains arrived creased

Hang the curtains and allow them to fall naturally, which may help creases disappear over time. Alternatively, iron on a low heat setting, ensuring the eyelets are not directly exposed to high heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent light-blocking capabilities for improved sleep and room darkening.
  • Provides thermal benefits, potentially reducing energy costs.
  • Contributes to a quieter room by reducing ambient noise.
  • Durable construction with no separate lining required.
  • Easy to install and maintain due to eyelet heading and machine washability.

Cons

  • Tie-backs are not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Blocks a high percentage of light, which may not be suitable for all settings.
  • Limited color options (5 total), with the specific model being Blue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The curtains feature a 40mm diameter eyelet heading, designed to slide easily onto standard curtain poles. Ensure the curtain pole is securely mounted and wide enough to accommodate the full width of the two panels when open. The curtains are sold as a pair, with each panel measuring the specified dimensions.

Compatibility: These curtains are compatible with any standard curtain pole that can accommodate 40mm eyelets. They are suitable for most window types and sizes due to the range of available dimensions. Note that tie-backs are not included.

Care: For best results, machine wash the curtains at 30 degrees Celsius. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Iron on a low setting if necessary. Ensure the eyelets are protected during washing. No sewing is required, making them ready to use out of the package after washing.
