FAQs
What is the primary purpose of these voile panels?
These panels are primarily designed to diffuse light, add a decorative layer to your windows, and provide a degree of daytime privacy.
Can these panels be used alone for full privacy?
While they offer daytime privacy, they are quite sheer. For complete privacy, especially at night, it's recommended to pair them with heavier curtains or blinds.
How do I install these panels?
They feature a slot-top heading, meaning you simply slide your curtain rod through the fabric slot at the top of the panel.
Are these panels suitable for a blackout effect?
No, these are voile panels and do not provide a blackout effect. They are designed to let light through.
What is an integral valance?
An integral valance is a decorative fabric piece sewn directly onto the top of the curtain panel, providing a finished and stylish look without needing a separate valance.
How should I clean these curtains?
Generally, they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water and air-dried or tumble-dried on low. Always check the specific care label for best results.
What colors are available?
This specific product is in Taupe. Other colors like Blue, Grey, Black, and White are available in the Alan Symonds range of double voile panels and swags.
Troubleshooting
Panel does not hang straight
Ensure the curtain rod is level. Check that the fabric is not twisted within the slot heading. Consider using weights if the fabric is very lightweight and prone to creasing.
Voile appears too sheer for desired privacy
Layer these panels with a more opaque curtain or blind. Use a second voile panel behind the first for increased density.
Color does not match expectations
Refer to product images and descriptions carefully. Allow for slight color variations due to monitor settings. If significantly off, contact customer support.
Difficulty sliding rod through slot
Ensure the rod is not too thick for the slot opening. Smooth out any rough edges on the rod.
