Yes, these curtains feature a dedicated 100% polyester blackout lining designed to significantly block out light, providing darkness ideal for sleeping or reducing glare.
Each pack contains two individual curtain panels, providing a complete set for one window.
No, these curtains are strictly 'Dry Clean Only'. Machine washing or other methods may damage the fabric, lining, and affect the blackout properties.
A pencil pleat heading is a traditional curtain header with a tape that has cords running through it. When pulled, these cords gather the fabric into tight, 'pencil-like' folds, creating a classic and elegant look.
If you are using a curtain track, you will need to purchase curtain gliders separately as they are not included. If using a curtain pole, you will need curtain rings (also not included) or hooks that fit your pole.
To measure for pencil pleat curtains, first measure the width of your track or pole (not the window). For fullness, you typically need curtains with a combined width 1.5 to 2.5 times your track/pole width. Then, measure the drop from the top of your track/pole to where you want the curtain to finish (e.g., sill, below sill, or floor). Always buy a size larger if you are between measurements.
While primarily designed for light blocking, the blackout lining and thicker fabric blend can offer some additional thermal insulation, helping to keep rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer compared to unlined curtains.
Ensure the curtains cover the entire window frame, extending beyond the edges by a few inches if possible. Check that the pleats are evenly formed and the curtains are fully closed. Adjust the pole or track position if needed to minimize light gaps.
Untie the drawstrings at the back of the pencil pleat heading. Redistribute the gathers more evenly across the width of the curtain. Re-tie the strings securely, ensuring tension is consistent. Use enough curtain hooks or gliders to support the weight evenly.
Hang the curtains for a few days to allow gravity to naturally pull out most creases. If persistent, iron on a low heat setting, potentially using a pressing cloth over the face fabric to protect it, or a handheld steamer.
Check that all curtain gliders are properly inserted into the track and none are stuck. Ensure the track itself is clean and free of obstructions. A silicone spray (for plastic tracks) or graphite lubricant (for metal tracks) can sometimes help gliders move more smoothly.
