FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the curtain?
The curtain measures approximately 66 inches in width and 84 inches in length.
Does the thermal lining add significant bulk?
Yes, the thermal interlining adds to the weight and thickness of the curtain, contributing to its insulating properties.
Can I wash this curtain in a washing machine?
No, this curtain is strictly dry clean only. Washing it in a machine can damage the fabric and thermal lining.
Are matching tie-backs included?
Matching tie-backs are available to purchase separately. They are not included with the curtain.
What is the material of the curtain?
The curtain is made from 100% Polyester chenille.
How do I install the pencil pleat hooks?
Pencil pleat hooks are inserted into the pocket tape along the top edge of the curtain. They then attach to your curtain track.
Is this curtain suitable for reducing outside noise?
While its primary function is thermal insulation, the heavyweight fabric can offer some sound dampening effect, contributing to a quieter room.
Troubleshooting
Curtain appears creased after hanging.
Gently iron on a cool setting or use a steamer on the reverse side. Ensure the fabric is slightly damp for best results. Hanging the curtain for a few days can also help creases fall out naturally.
Pencil pleat hooks are difficult to insert into the track.
Ensure the hooks are correctly positioned and not angled incorrectly. Lubricating the track slightly can sometimes help. Verify that the track is designed for standard curtain hooks.
Curtain does not hang straight.
Check that the curtain track or pole is level. Ensure an equal number of pleats and hooks are used on both sides of the curtain to maintain symmetry. Verify the curtain is centered on the opening.
