FAQs

How do I clean my Fusion Galaxy Dim Out Pencil Pleat Curtains?

These curtains require professional dry cleaning only. Do not machine wash, hand wash, or tumble dry, as this can damage the fabric and thermal properties. Iron on a low setting if necessary.

Are these curtains truly blackout?

No, they are 'dim-out' curtains, not 100% blackout. The triple-woven fabric significantly reduces the amount of light entering a room, creating a much darker environment, but some ambient light may still filter through.

What material are Fusion Galaxy Dim Out Curtains made from?

They are made from 100% Polyester, offering durability and easy maintenance (except for cleaning method).

How many curtain panels are included when I purchase a 'pair'?

The curtains are sold in pairs, meaning you will receive two individual curtain panels with each purchase to cover your window.

What type of heading do these curtains have?

These curtains feature a classic pencil pleat heading, which allows for adjustable gathering to create elegant, uniform folds.

What size curtain pole do I need for these curtains?

The recommended pole size depends on the width of your curtains. For W46in (117cm) curtains, use a 90-160cm pole. For W66in (168cm) curtains, use a 140-220cm pole. For W90in (229cm) curtains, use a 180-300cm pole.

Can I use these curtains in any room?

Yes, their versatile design, dim-out, and thermal properties make them suitable for any room in your house, including bedrooms, living rooms, and nurseries.

Troubleshooting

Curtains do not hang evenly or look lopsided.

Check that the curtain pole is perfectly level. Also, ensure the pencil pleat cords have been pulled evenly and secured, and that your curtain hooks are inserted at consistent intervals and depths along the heading tape.

Light still leaks significantly around the edges of the window.

Verify that your curtain pole extends sufficiently beyond the window frame on both sides (typically 15-30cm each side). Also, ensure the chosen curtain width is adequate to allow for generous gathering and full coverage of the window opening when closed.

Curtains appear wrinkled after unpacking and hanging.

Iron the curtains on a low setting, as indicated in the care instructions. Hanging them for several days may also allow most creases to naturally fall out due to gravity. Avoid high heat to prevent damage to the fabric or thermal lining.

The thermal benefit does not seem effective.

Ensure the curtains are fully closed and cover the entire window pane, with minimal gaps at the top, sides, and bottom. Furniture blocking the curtains can also impede air circulation and reduce their thermal effectiveness. Check for any drafts around the window itself.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent light reduction for improved sleep and reduced glare.
  • Effective thermal insulation helps maintain room temperature year-round.
  • Classic pencil pleat design complements a variety of interior styles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper setup and care will ensure your Fusion Galaxy Dim Out Pencil Pleat Curtains provide lasting performance and beauty.

Setup Instructions

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Compatibility

These pencil pleat curtains are designed for use with curtain poles.

  • W46in (117cm) curtains: Compatible with curtain poles measuring 90 to 160cm.
  • W66in (168cm) curtains: Compatible with curtain poles measuring 140 to 220cm.
  • W90in (229cm) curtains: Compatible with curtain poles measuring 180 to 300cm.

*Sizes stated refer to the width of a single curtain panel before gathering.

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.
