Product Information
Full details
The Marlow Velvet Blackout Curtains are designed for homeowners seeking a blend of elegance and practicality, specifically for bedrooms, nurseries, and home offices. By utilizing high-density 280gsm fabric, these curtains effectively block 70 to 85% of incoming light and provide thermal insulation to help regulate indoor temperatures throughout the changing seasons. While they excel at creating a cozy atmosphere, it is important to note that they do not offer complete 100% total blackout, as some light filtering may still occur depending on the intensity of the exterior sun.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these curtains 100% blackout?
No, they naturally block 70 to 85% of incoming light depending on the intensity of the light source.
Do I need to dry clean these curtains?
No, they are machine washable on a cold gentle cycle and can be tumble dried on low.
Do these curtains contain chemical backings?
No, the light-blocking properties are achieved through the density of the 280gsm fabric itself.
Are the tie-backs included?
Yes, each pair of curtains comes with matching tie-backs for flexible styling.
Can these curtains help with home energy costs?
Yes, the thermal insulated fabric helps retain warmth in winter and keeps heat out in summer, improving energy efficiency.
Will the eyelets rust over time?
The eyelets are designed to be rust-resistant to ensure long-term durability and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Curtains appear wrinkled after washing
Use a low-heat setting on a tumble dryer or a cool iron on the reverse side to safely remove creases.
Curtains let in more light than expected
Ensure the curtains are fully extended across the rod and overlapping the center for maximum coverage.
Eyelets feel stiff or catch on the rod
Check the diameter of your curtain rod to ensure it is not too thick for the provided eyelets, and ensure the rod is clean and free of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward thanks to the integrated rust-resistant eyelets; simply slide your curtain rod through the loops to hang. Ensure your curtain rod is securely mounted to handle the weight of the thick velvet fabric. For long-term care, the curtains are fully machine washable. Always use a cold, gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the velvet pile and prevent shrinkage. When drying, use a low heat tumble dry setting. Avoid the use of bleach or professional dry cleaning, as these can damage the fabric's natural light-blocking properties and finish.
