Product Information

Full details

The Marlow Blackout Curtains are designed for homeowners seeking to improve room comfort, light control, and energy efficiency. Perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, or home offices, these 280gsm thermal-insulated curtains provide a peaceful environment by blocking up to 85% of incoming light without harsh chemical coatings. While they offer excellent insulation and style, users should note that they are not 100% total-blackout, allowing for a soft level of ambient light during the day.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these curtains totally blackout?

No, they are rated to block between 70% and 85% of light, providing a significant reduction in brightness without achieving 100% darkness.

Can I iron these curtains?

It is recommended to use a low-heat steam setting if ironing is necessary, but avoid direct contact with the fabric by using a pressing cloth.

Do these help with noise reduction?

The dense 280gsm fabric provides a degree of sound dampening, which can help quiet ambient noise from outside.

Are they chemical-free?

Yes, the blackout properties are achieved through the density of the fabric weave rather than chemical coatings.

Will they fit a standard window rod?

The eyelets are designed to fit most standard curtain rods; however, verify your rod diameter before purchase.

Do they come in pairs?

Yes, each set includes the panels and matching tie-backs as indicated in the product specifications.

Troubleshooting

Curtains look wrinkled after washing

Tumble dry on a low setting and remove immediately, or hang while slightly damp to allow gravity to release wrinkles.

Light is still leaking from the edges

Ensure the curtain rod is mounted as close to the wall as possible and consider wrapping the fabric slightly around the wall bracket to seal the light gaps.

Eyelets are scratching the rod

Check that the rod is correctly sized for the eyelets and ensure the rod is not bowed under the weight of the curtains.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces heat transfer to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures
  • Chemical-free construction using high-density fabric
  • Easy installation with included rust-resistant eyelets
  • Machine washable for simple cleaning
  • Includes stylish matching tie-backs

Cons

  • Blocks 70-85% of light, not 100% blackout
  • Requires machine washing on specific cold/gentle settings
  • Weight of 280gsm fabric requires a sturdy curtain rod

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation is straightforward thanks to the pre-fitted eyelets. Simply slide your curtain rod through the rings and distribute the pleats evenly across the window. Ensure your rod is securely wall-mounted to support the density of the 280gsm fabric.

Compatibility: These curtains are compatible with most standard tension or decorative curtain rods.

Care: To keep your curtains looking their best, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach, which can damage the fabric fibers. For drying, use a low tumble-dry setting, and remove promptly to prevent deep wrinkles.
