FAQs
Are these Fusion Sorbonne curtains blackout?
No, these curtains are fully lined and designed for light filtering, which means they soften incoming light and provide privacy, but they are not blackout curtains and will not block 100% of light.
Can I machine wash or iron these curtains?
No, these curtains are made from 100% cotton and are designated as 'dry clean only' to maintain their quality and prevent shrinkage or damage. Please do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron at high temperatures.
Do these curtains come with a curtain pole?
No, the Fusion Sorbonne Cotton Eyelet Curtains are sold as a pair of curtain panels only. The curtain pole is not included and must be purchased separately.
How many curtain panels are included in one purchase?
These curtains are sold as a 'pair of eyelet curtains,' meaning one purchase includes two individual curtain panels designed to cover one window.
How do I choose the correct size for my window?
Measure the width of your curtain pole (not the window frame) and the desired drop length. For width, choose a curtain size where the combined width of the pair is 1.5 to 2 times your pole width for a good gather. Then select the drop length that matches your preference (e.g., sill length, below sill, or floor length).
What is the diameter of the eyelet rings?
The eyelet rings have a diameter of 40mm, designed to accommodate most standard curtain poles for smooth movement.
Are these curtains suitable for a bedroom?
Yes, they are suitable for a bedroom as they provide privacy and softly filter light. However, if you require complete darkness for sleep, you may need to pair them with blackout blinds or choose a dedicated blackout curtain.
Troubleshooting
Curtains do not hang evenly or look too flat.
Ensure your curtain pole is perfectly level. Adjust the spacing of the eyelets along the pole to create more even and consistent folds. If the curtains seem too flat, your pole might be too long for the curtain width; consider a wider curtain size or a shorter pole.
Eyelet rings are difficult to slide on the pole.
Check that your curtain pole's diameter is less than 40mm. Clean the curtain pole to remove any dust or debris. A small amount of silicone spray (designed for curtain poles) can sometimes help, but avoid products that may stain the fabric.
Curtains don't fully cover the window or look too stretched.
This indicates the curtains are too narrow for your window opening. Refer to the size compatibility section and ensure the total curtain width (for the pair) is at least 1.5 to 2 times the width of your window or pole for proper coverage and gather.
Curtains appear creased from packaging.
Gently shake out the curtains after unpacking. For stubborn creases, a fabric steamer can be used carefully, or hang them for a few days to allow gravity to help smooth them. Avoid direct, hot ironing as this is a dry clean only item.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Fusion Sorbonne Cotton Eyelet Curtains is straightforward, but proper measurements and care are essential for optimal appearance and longevity.
Setup Instructions
- Measure Your Pole: Ensure your curtain pole is installed and correctly measured. The recommended pole length is provided for each curtain size to ensure proper gather and coverage.
- Unpack Curtains: Carefully remove the curtains from their packaging. It's advisable to gently shake them out or lightly steam them to release any creases from packaging.
- Insert Pole: Thread your curtain pole through the brushed silver eyelet rings of each curtain panel. The eyelets have a 40mm diameter.
- Hang Curtains: Place the curtain pole back onto its brackets. Adjust the folds evenly to achieve your desired drape. The eyelet design naturally creates elegant, soft pleats.
Compatibility
- Curtain Pole: These curtains require a curtain pole for hanging. They are not compatible with track systems.
- Pole Diameter: The 40mm eyelet rings are designed to fit most standard curtain poles. Ensure your pole diameter is less than 40mm for smooth operation.
- Size Matching: Each curtain size (width x drop) specifies a suitable pole length range. For example:
- W46in (117cm) curtains: Suitable for pole lengths 90 to 160cm.
- W66in (168cm) curtains: Suitable for pole lengths 140 to 220cm.
- W90in (229cm) curtains: Suitable for pole lengths 180 to 300cm.
Care Instructions
- Dry Clean Only: To preserve the fabric quality, color, and lining, these curtains must be *dry cleaned only*. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron at high temperatures, or bleach.
- Spot Cleaning: For small, isolated marks, gently dab with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh rubbing.
- Regular Dusting: Periodically dust your curtains with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner on a low setting to prevent dust buildup.
- Protect from Sun: While light filtering, prolonged direct exposure to intense sunlight can eventually fade fabrics. Consider rotating or using sheers during peak sun hours if this is a concern.
