Fusion Galaxy Charcoal Dimout Pencil Pleat Curtains - Grey

No, these are 'dim-out' curtains, meaning they effectively reduce light levels significantly but are not designed for 100% blackout. They will create a much darker room than standard curtains.

No, these curtains are strictly 'Professional dry clean only.' Machine washing or hand washing can damage the fabric and its special dim-out and thermal properties.

The curtains are sold as a pair. Information regarding included tie-backs or hooks is not provided. Typically, pencil pleat curtains do not include hooks, which are usually supplied with your curtain track or pole.

The thermal layering in the fabric helps to create a barrier that reduces heat transfer through the window. This means less heat escapes in winter and less heat enters in summer, helping to regulate room temperature.

Pencil pleat curtains are versatile and can be hung on most standard curtain tracks using gliders and hooks, or on curtain poles using rings and hooks. The choice depends on your preference and existing fittings.

The sizes provided are for each individual curtain panel. Since they are sold in pairs, you will receive two panels of the specified dimensions.

With proper care and adherence to professional dry cleaning, the color retention should be good. However, prolonged exposure to intense, direct sunlight can eventually cause some fading in any fabric over a very long period.

Ensure the curtains completely cover the window width and height, extending beyond the frame if possible. Check for gaps between the curtain and the wall or window frame, and adjust placement for better coverage.

Hang the curtains immediately after unpacking. Most creases will naturally relax over a few days. If persistent, iron on a low heat setting as per care instructions, using a pressing cloth.

The pencil pleat tape has cords that can be pulled to create gathers. Gently pull the cords at one end to desired fullness, then tie them off. Distribute the gathers evenly across the width. Untie and re-pull if necessary.

Verify the measurements of your window and compare them to the actual curtain panel sizes (remembering sizes are per panel). Allow some time for curtains to hang and settle, as new fabrics can sometimes stretch slightly. For significant length issues, professional alteration may be required.
