Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Unpack: Carefully remove the curtains from their packaging. Lay them flat or hang them briefly to allow any creases from packing to relax.
- Gathering the Pleats: The pencil pleat heading has multiple strings running through it. Gently pull these strings at one end to gather the fabric to your desired width. Secure the pulled strings with a knot or a cord tidy, ensuring the gather is even across the top of the curtain.
- Attach Hooks: Insert curtain hooks into the woven pockets on the back of the pencil pleat tape. The number of hooks will depend on your curtain width and the spacing required by your curtain track or rings.
- Hang: Hang the curtains onto your curtain pole rings or track runners. Adjust the hooks and gathering to ensure the curtains hang evenly and smoothly.
Compatibility
These curtains are designed for use with standard curtain poles or tracks. The recommended pole widths vary by curtain panel width:
- W46in (117cm) panels: Suitable for curtain poles 90 to 160cm wide.
- W66in (168cm) panels: Suitable for curtain poles 140 to 220cm wide.
- W90in (229cm) panels: Suitable for curtain poles 180 to 300cm wide.
Always ensure your curtain pole or track is robust enough to support the weight of two curtain panels.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Professional dry cleaning only. Do not machine wash, hand wash, or tumble dry, as this can damage the fabric and thermal/dim-out properties.
- Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side if necessary to remove wrinkles.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
