FAQs
Are tie-backs included with the curtains?
No, tie-backs are not included with the Alan Symonds Cotswold curtains and must be purchased separately.
What type of header do these curtains have?
These curtains feature a pencil pleat taped header, designed specifically for use with curtain tracks.
Can I wash these curtains in a washing machine?
It is recommended to dry clean these curtains only to preserve their quality, pattern, and lining.
What does 'fully lined' mean for these curtains?
Fully lined means the curtains have an additional layer of fabric attached to the back, which helps with insulation, light blocking, and provides a more substantial drape.
What is the geometric pattern on the curtains?
The curtains feature a contemporary geometric jacquard design with a classic quatrefoil style.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the width and length of your window or existing curtain track. Compare these measurements with the available sizes to ensure a proper fit. It's often recommended to choose curtains that are 1.5 to 2 times the width of the track for fullness.
Can I use these curtains with a curtain pole?
These curtains are designed for curtain tracks. They cannot be directly hung on a curtain pole. You would need a specific adapter if you wish to use them with a pole.
What should I do if the 'Stone' colored curtains arrive with 'Latte' on the packaging?
The packaging for the 'Stone' color may state 'Latte'; these are the same color and are interchangeable.
Troubleshooting
Curtains do not hang evenly
Adjust the position of the hooks on the pencil pleat tape. Ensure hooks are spaced evenly and are firmly attached to the track sliders.
Color differs slightly from online image
Screen settings and lighting can affect color perception. Note that 'Stone' color may be labeled 'Latte' on packaging.
Lining appears creased
Allow curtains to hang for a few days to let creases fall out naturally. If necessary, iron on a cool setting on the reverse side only.
Stitching appears loose
Carefully trim any loose threads. For more significant issues, consult a professional seamstress or contact the retailer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Adjust the hook positions for an even drape across the track.
Compatibility:
Primarily compatible with standard curtain tracks.
Not directly compatible with curtain poles unless an adapter is used.
Check the specific dimensions of the curtains against your window measurements before purchasing.
Care:
Dry Clean Only: To maintain the fabric's quality, pattern, and lining, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting and iron on the reverse side. Avoid direct heat on the decorative jacquard.
