FAQs
Are these curtains truly 100% blackout?
The Fusion Dijon curtains are designed with a blackout lining to significantly block out light. While they aim for maximum darkness, minor light leakage can occur around the edges depending on installation and window frame design. They are highly effective at creating a dark room.
Can I machine wash these curtains?
No, these curtains require dry cleaning at a low temperature to maintain their integrity and blackout/thermal properties. Machine washing, tumble drying, or bleaching is not recommended.
Do the curtains come with tie-backs?
No, matching curtain tie-backs for the Fusion Dijon range are sold separately. This allows you to choose if and when you'd like to add them.
How do I choose the correct size for my window?
Measure the width of your curtain pole and the desired drop from the top of the pole to where you want the curtain to end. For width, it's generally recommended to choose a curtain width that is 1.5 to 2 times the pole width for a good gather. Refer to the size chart provided for recommended pole sizes for each curtain width.
What is the benefit of the thermal lining?
The thermal lining helps regulate your room's temperature. It keeps heat in during the winter, reducing drafts and heat loss, and reflects heat out during the summer, keeping the room cooler. This can lead to increased comfort and potential energy savings.
Can these curtains reduce noise?
Yes, the dense fabric and blackout lining provide a layer of insulation that helps to filter and reduce outside noise, contributing to a quieter indoor environment.
Troubleshooting
Curtains do not block enough light.
Ensure the curtains are correctly sized for your window, extending beyond the frame to minimize light leakage. Check that the curtain pole is wide enough to allow the curtains to fully close without gaps. Adjust pleats for maximum coverage.
Curtains appear wrinkled or creased.
Gently cool iron the curtains on the face fabric side. Avoid direct high heat on the blackout lining. Hanging them for a few days can also help gravity naturally smooth out some creases.
Curtains are difficult to draw open/closed.
Check the curtain pole for any obstructions or rough spots. Ensure the curtain rings or hooks are moving freely. Apply a silicone spray to the pole if friction is an issue (ensure it's safe for curtain materials). Ensure pleats are evenly distributed to prevent bunching.
