Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup and care will ensure your Fusion Galaxy Dim Out Pencil Pleat Curtains provide lasting performance and beauty.
Setup Instructions
- Unpack and Prepare: Carefully remove the curtains from their packaging. You may notice some creases from packaging; these often relax once hung or can be ironed on a low setting (see care instructions).
- Gather Pleats: The pencil pleat heading tape has cords that run through it. Gently pull these cords from one end (secure the other end with a knot) to gather the fabric to your desired width, creating even, tight 'pencil' pleats. Secure the gathered cords with a knot or cord tidy.
- Attach Hooks: Insert curtain hooks (not included) into the woven pockets on the back of the heading tape. Space them evenly for a balanced hang. Typically, one hook is placed at each end and then evenly spaced across the gathered width.
- Hang on Pole: Hang the hooks onto the rings of your curtain pole (if using rings) or directly onto the curtain pole if your pole design allows. Adjust the curtains to ensure they hang evenly and fully cover your window.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning: These curtains require professional dry cleaning only. Do not machine wash, hand wash, or tumble dry, as this can damage the fabric and thermal lining.
- Ironing: If needed, iron on a low setting to remove creases. Always check a small, inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: When not in use, fold neatly and store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and damage.
