FAQs

How do I choose the correct curtain width for my window?

To achieve a full, gathered look, measure the width of your curtain pole (not the window). Then, multiply this measurement by 1.5 to 2. This will give you the ideal total curtain width you need. If you have two curtain panels, divide this total by two for each panel's width. Refer to the size guide for pole width compatibility.

Are these curtains truly 100% blackout?

These curtains feature a 3-pass blackout lining, which is highly effective at blocking natural light, making them very close to 100% blackout. However, some minimal light may still enter around the edges of the curtain pole or window frame, depending on installation and fit.

Can I use these curtains with a curtain track?

No, these curtains are designed with an eyelet header, which requires a curtain pole for hanging. They are not compatible with curtain tracks or other hanging systems that use hooks.

How do the thermal properties work?

The thermal fabric and 3-pass lining create an insulating barrier at your window. This helps to reduce heat transfer – keeping warm air inside during colder months and blocking heat gain from sunlight during warmer months, contributing to energy efficiency.

What is the diameter of the eyelets?

The eyelets have an internal diameter of 4cm and an external diameter of 6cm. This makes them compatible with most standard curtain poles.

Are the curtains suitable for a child's bedroom or nursery?

Yes, their excellent blackout properties are ideal for creating a dark environment conducive to sleep for children and babies. The thermal properties also help maintain a comfortable room temperature.

How do I clean these curtains?

These curtains are machine washable. It's recommended to wash them on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water using a mild detergent. Air drying is preferred, or tumble dry on a very low heat setting, removing promptly to prevent damage to the blackout lining.

Troubleshooting

Curtains do not block all light effectively, or light leaks around the edges.

Ensure your curtain pole extends adequately beyond the window frame (15-30cm on each side is often recommended). The curtain width chosen should also be sufficient to cover the window with enough gather. For maximum blackout, consider pairing with a blackout blind if light bleed from the top or sides is persistent.

Curtains appear creased or wrinkled after unpacking or washing.

Hang the curtains immediately after unpacking or washing. Many creases will naturally fall out over a few days. For stubborn wrinkles, use a garment steamer on a low setting, or iron on the fabric side (not the blackout lining directly) at a low temperature, following care label instructions.

Eyelets do not slide smoothly along the curtain pole.

Check if your curtain pole's diameter is compatible with the 4cm internal eyelet diameter. If the pole is too thick, it will cause friction. Ensure the pole is clean and free of obstructions. A silicone-based spray or furniture polish applied to the pole can sometimes help eyelets glide more easily.

Fabric feels stiff or has an unusual texture after washing.

Ensure you followed the machine wash instructions precisely, particularly regarding water temperature and cycle type (gentle cycle is key). Avoid over-drying in a tumble dryer on high heat. Air dry or tumble dry on a very low setting, removing curtains while slightly damp and hanging them to finish drying naturally. Over-washing or harsh detergents can sometimes affect fabric feel.

Curtains do not provide adequate privacy during the day.

While providing excellent blackout, the plain fabric offers strong privacy. If direct sunlight makes the fabric seem less opaque from the outside, ensure the curtains are fully drawn and gathered properly. For extreme privacy needs during daylight without complete darkness, consider adding sheer curtains on a separate pole or track behind the blackout curtains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Measure Your Window: Before purchasing, measure your window's width and drop. For width, measure your curtain pole. For drop, measure from the top of your curtain pole to where you want the curtain to end (e.g., sill, below sill, or floor).
  2. Choose the Right Size: Select curtain widths that are 1.5 to 2 times the width of your pole for optimal fullness when closed. The available single curtain widths (114cm, 165cm, 229cm) fit pole widths up to 152cm, 229cm, and 305cm respectively.
  3. Install Curtain Pole: Ensure a curtain pole is securely installed above your window. The eyelet design requires a pole for hanging.
  4. Hang the Curtains: Simply thread the eyelets onto your curtain pole, alternating the direction of the folds to create an even wave effect.

Compatibility

  • Curtain Pole Only: These curtains are designed exclusively for use with a curtain pole. They are *not* compatible with curtain tracks or other hanging systems that require hooks or rings.
  • Pole Diameter: The stainless steel eyelets have an internal diameter of 4cm, making them suitable for most standard curtain poles.

Care & Maintenance

  • Washing: The curtains are machine washable. Always refer to the care label for specific temperature settings and cycles. Typically, a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water is recommended.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric and blackout lining.
  • Drying: Air drying is preferable to maintain the integrity of the blackout lining. If tumble drying is necessary, use a low heat setting and remove promptly.
  • Ironing: If creases occur, iron on a low heat setting on the fabric side, avoiding direct contact with the blackout lining unless specified otherwise on the care label. A steamer can also be used for quick wrinkle removal.
  • Stain Removal: Due to the 100% polyester material, stains are less likely to set. Treat spills immediately by dabbing with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain. For stubborn stains, follow specific fabric cleaning instructions.
