FAQs
How effective are these curtains at blocking light?
The Riva Home Eclipse curtains feature a 3-pass blackout lining, making them highly effective at blocking external light, ensuring a dark room for sleep or media viewing.
Do these curtains help with room temperature?
Yes, these curtains are designed to be energy efficient and temperature controlled. They help keep your room cooler in the summer by blocking sunlight and warmer in the winter by providing an insulating layer.
What type of curtain pole do I need for these eyelet curtains?
You will need a standard curtain pole. The stainless steel eyelet holes are designed to simply slide onto the pole for easy installation.
Can I machine wash these curtains?
Yes, a key benefit of the Riva Home Eclipse curtains is that they are machine washable. Please refer to the care label for specific washing instructions to maintain their quality and blackout properties.
Are other colors available in the Eclipse range?
Yes, the Riva Home Eclipse range is available in a variety of colors, allowing you to choose the shade that best complements your home decor.
What material are the eyelets made from?
The eyelets are made from stainless steel, ensuring durability and a smooth glide when opening and closing the curtains.
Troubleshooting
Curtains are not blocking all light effectively.
Ensure the curtains are wide enough to fully cover your window frame, extending slightly beyond the edges. Also, check that the curtain pole is mounted high and wide enough to prevent light gaps around the top and sides. Minor light bleed around the very edges can be a characteristic of eyelet curtains, but proper sizing minimizes this.
Curtains are difficult to slide along the pole.
Inspect the curtain pole for any obstructions, dirt, or rough spots. Ensure the pole diameter is appropriate for the eyelet size, allowing for smooth movement. Applying a silicone-based lubricant (sparingly) to the pole can also improve glide.
Curtains appear wrinkled after washing.
After washing, hang the curtains while slightly damp to allow gravity to help smooth out wrinkles. If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron on the fabric side only, avoiding direct contact with the blackout lining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation Steps
Installing your Riva Home Eclipse Blackout Eyelet Curtains is straightforward:
- Select Your Curtain Pole: Ensure your curtain pole is securely mounted above your window frame and extends sufficiently beyond the window's width to allow the curtains to stack back neatly when open.
- Thread the Eyelets: Simply slide the stainless steel eyelet holes onto your curtain pole. Alternate the direction of the first and last eyelet to create a symmetrical look when closed.
- Adjust for Coverage: Once hung, adjust the pleats evenly along the pole to achieve your desired aesthetic and ensure full window coverage when the curtains are closed.
Compatibility
These eyelet curtains are designed to be compatible with most standard curtain poles. Ensure your pole diameter fits comfortably through the eyelet holes for smooth operation. No special rings or hooks are required.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Maintaining the cleanliness and appearance of your curtains is easy:
- Machine Washable: The curtains can be machine washed, offering a convenient cleaning solution. Always check the care label for specific temperature and cycle recommendations to preserve the blackout lining and fabric quality.
- Gentle Cycle Recommended: To prevent damage to the fabric or lining, use a gentle wash cycle with cold or lukewarm water.
- Air Dry or Low Tumble: Avoid high heat drying, which can damage the blackout lining. It is best to air dry or use a very low heat tumble dry setting.
- Ironing: If needed, iron on a cool setting, ideally on the fabric side, to smooth out any wrinkles.
