FAQs
What does 'dim-out' mean for these curtains?
Dim-out means the curtains significantly reduce the amount of light entering a room, creating a darker environment. However, they are not 'blackout' curtains, meaning a small amount of light may still be perceptible, especially around the edges.
Are these curtains energy efficient?
Yes, these curtains feature a thermal layering designed to help prevent heat loss in winter and reduce heat gain in summer, contributing to better insulation and potential energy savings.
How do I clean my Fusion Galaxy Dim Out Curtains?
These curtains require professional dry cleaning only. Do not machine wash, hand wash, or tumble dry them. You can iron them on a low temperature setting.
What material are these curtains made from?
The curtains are made from 100% Polyester fabric.
How many curtain panels are included in one purchase?
The curtains are sold in pairs, meaning you will receive two curtain panels per pack.
How do I choose the correct size for my window?
Measure the width of your curtain pole and the desired drop length. The stated widths (e.g., W46, W66, W90) are for each curtain panel. Refer to the size guide for pole width compatibility: W46 (117cm) for poles 90-160cm, W66 (168cm) for poles 140-220cm, and W90 (229cm) for poles 180-300cm. For desired fullness, the combined width of the panels should generally be 1.5 to 2 times the width of your pole.
Can I machine wash these curtains?
No, these curtains are strictly professional dry clean only. Machine washing may damage the fabric, the dim-out properties, or the thermal layering.
What is a 'pencil pleat style' if they have eyelets?
The 'pencil pleat style' refers to the classic, tailored aesthetic of the curtain's fabric, often with an embossed woven finish, which creates a sophisticated look. The 'eyelet' refers to the integrated metal rings at the top of the curtain panels which are used for hanging the curtains directly onto a pole, providing a modern and easy hanging solution.
Troubleshooting
Curtains are not dimming the room enough.
Ensure the curtains are appropriately sized for your window to minimize gaps at the sides, top, and bottom where light can escape. Adjust the position of the curtain pole to reduce light bleed from the top. Consider using a blackout blind in conjunction for complete darkness.
Curtains are wrinkled or creased from packaging.
Iron the curtains on a low temperature setting, ensuring you follow the care label. Hanging them for a few days can also allow gravity to help smooth out minor creases. Avoid steaming directly or using high heat.
Curtains are not hanging evenly or sliding smoothly on the pole.
Check that the curtain pole is level. Ensure the eyelets are not obstructed and are free to move. Redistribute the fabric evenly across the pole to create consistent folds.
The thermal effect doesn't seem strong.
For optimal thermal performance, ensure the curtains cover the entire window recess with some overlap on the sides. Close the curtains fully during the hottest or coldest parts of the day to maximize their insulating properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Setup 1. Unpack: Carefully remove the two curtain panels from their packaging. 2.

Hang Curtains: Slide the brushed silver eyelet rings directly onto your curtain pole.

The 40mm diameter eyelet rings will fit most common curtain pole thicknesses. ### Care To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your Fusion Galaxy Dim Out Curtains, please follow these care instructions carefully: - Cleaning: Professional dry cleaning only. Do not machine wash, hand wash, or tumble dry, as this can damage the fabric and thermal properties. - Ironing: Iron on low temperature setting only.
