FAQs
Can I use these on a curtain pole?
Yes, these curtains are designed to be hung on either a traditional track or a pole when used with curtain rings.
How do the thermal linings work?
The thermal lining creates an extra layer of insulation that traps air between the curtain and the window, reducing heat loss.
What is a pencil pleat header?
A pencil pleat is a classic curtain style characterized by tight, uniform folds that resemble a row of pencils, which you can adjust manually.
Are these curtains blackout?
While the thermal lining is thick and provides significant light reduction, it is primarily designed for insulation rather than total blackout.
How should I clean the curtains?
We recommend professional cleaning to protect the velvet pile and the thermal lining. Check the specific care tag for manufacturer instructions.
Is the geometric pattern very noticeable?
The geometric pattern is designed to be subtle, providing a sophisticated texture that adds depth rather than acting as an overwhelming focal point.
Troubleshooting
Curtains look uneven after hanging
Re-adjust the gathering cords on the header tape to ensure the spacing between hooks is consistent.
Curtains feel too heavy for current rod
Ensure your curtain rod is installed with proper wall brackets; consider adding a center support bracket for wider spans.
Surface marks or crushed pile on the velvet
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the velvet pile in the direction of the grain, or use a handheld steamer to lightly refresh the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward. First, measure your window width and pull the drawstrings on the header tape to match that width, then knot the cords securely. Do not cut the excess cord; instead, coil it neatly and tuck it into the back of the tape for future adjustments.
Compatibility-wise, these curtains are suitable for both standard curtain tracks (using hooks) and decorative poles (using rings). For maintenance, velvet should be handled gently. If the fabric becomes wrinkled, a light steam treatment from a distance is recommended to refresh the pile. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing unless specified on the care label, as the thermal lining and velvet structure are best preserved through professional cleaning or delicate dusting.
