FAQs
Are the Alan Symonds Adiso Curtains blackout?
No, these curtains are designed to be room-darkening, not blackout. They offer significant privacy and reduce external light while still allowing some filtered sunlight to pass through for a softer ambiance.
What material are these curtains made from?
These curtains are made from 100% superior polyester fabric, with a soft peach skin lining.
How do I clean my Alan Symonds Adiso Curtains?
The curtains are machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius. Please use a gentle cycle and they are also iron safe on a low setting.
Do these curtains come with tie-backs?
Yes, each pair of curtains includes free matching fabric tie-backs for your convenience.
What type of heading do these curtains have?
These curtains feature a traditional pencil pleat tape heading, which is suitable for use with curtain hooks on a track or pole.
Can I use these curtains in a living room as well as a bedroom?
Absolutely. Their versatile neutral tone and subtle design make them perfect for enhancing the décor and providing privacy in both bedrooms and living rooms.
What does 'medium weight' mean for these curtains?
Medium weight indicates the fabric has a moderate density. This contributes to a good drape and offers effective room-darkening and insulation properties without being excessively heavy or bulky.
Troubleshooting
Curtains appear creased after unpacking.
As these curtains are iron safe, a light ironing on a low setting will help remove any packing creases. Alternatively, hang them for a few days to allow gravity to assist in smoothing them out.
Curtains do not hang evenly or pleats look messy.
Ensure your curtain hooks are inserted evenly into the pencil pleat tape. Adjust the spacing of the hooks and the pleats manually until the desired gathered effect and even hang are achieved.
Light leakage around the edges of the window.
This is common with any curtain system. Ensure your curtain pole or track extends sufficiently beyond the window frame. You may also need to adjust the position of the curtains on the pole to minimize gaps.
The curtain fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you use a gentle cycle and avoid harsh detergents. Line drying can also help maintain the fabric's softness. A light iron after drying can also help relax the fibers.
