Balmoral Check Ruby Red Eyelet Curtains - Fusion

Eyelet curtains are designed to be used with a curtain pole. Ensure the pole's diameter is smaller than the eyelet rings for smooth gliding. A pole with finials on the ends will prevent the curtains from sliding off.

These curtains are designed to welcome natural light and provide privacy, but they are not blackout curtains. If you require complete darkness for a bedroom, you may need to pair them with a separate blackout lining or blind.

Measure the width of your curtain pole (not the window). For eyelet curtains, a common recommendation is to have the total curtain width (both panels combined) be 1.5 to 2.5 times the pole width for a good gather. For length, measure from the top of your pole to where you want the curtain to end (e.g., sill, below sill, or floor).

While these curtains are made with lasting quality, prolonged exposure to direct, strong sunlight can cause color fading over many years, as with most fabrics. To minimize this, consider rotating curtains or using blinds/sheers to protect them during intense sun.

> Info needed: Specific ironing instructions will be on the product's care label. Generally, if ironing is permitted, it should be done on a low-temperature setting on the reverse side to protect the fabric and pattern.

> Info needed: The product description does not specify if tie-backs are included. Typically, tie-backs are sold separately or are included if explicitly mentioned. Please check product packaging or retailer details.

The description highlights the soft and lightweight fabric and ability to welcome natural light. It does not mention thermal insulation properties. For energy efficiency benefits, consider pairing them with a thermal lining.

Ensure the curtain pole is level. Redistribute the fabric evenly between each eyelet across the pole, creating consistent folds. If the pole is too narrow, the fabric may bunch; if too wide, it may stretch thin.

Hang the curtains immediately. Often, gravity will help most creases fall out within a few days. For persistent wrinkles, a handheld garment steamer or a low-temperature iron (on the reverse side, with a pressing cloth if needed) can be used. Always test a small, hidden area first.

Check the curtain pole for any rough spots or burrs that might be catching the eyelets. Ensure the pole diameter is appropriate for the eyelet size. Applying a small amount of silicone spray (carefully, to avoid fabric contact) to the pole can improve smoothness, but check pole material compatibility first.

While these curtains offer privacy, they are designed to let in some natural light. For enhanced privacy or light blocking, consider adding a separate blackout or thermal lining behind your existing curtains using clip-on rings or a secondary curtain rod.
