Alan Symonds Reflections Eyelet Curtains - Yellow

Measure the width of your curtain pole (not the window). For eyelet curtains, a good rule of thumb is to have a curtain width 1.5 to 2 times the pole length for a full, gathered look. For the drop, measure from the top of your pole to where you want the curtain to end (e.g., sill, below sill, or floor).

While often not necessary as wrinkles tend to fall out, if ironing is required, use a very low heat setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric to protect the intricate jacquard weave. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

'Fully lined' means an additional layer of fabric is sewn to the back of the main curtain material. This enhances thermal insulation, improves privacy, helps reduce noise, protects the main fabric from sun damage, and provides a better drape.

Yes, their fully lined design offers superior light control, insulation, and noise reduction, making them an excellent choice for bedrooms to create a comfortable and conducive sleeping environment.

An eyelet or ring top heading features metal rings (eyelets) integrated directly into the top of the curtain fabric. These rings slide smoothly onto a curtain pole, creating soft, even pleats and a contemporary look. This design also makes them very easy to open and close.

The curtains are made with yarn-dyed jacquard fabric, which means the yarns themselves are colored before weaving, generally offering good color retention. However, prolonged direct exposure to intense sunlight can eventually affect any fabric color. The lining also helps protect the main fabric from UV exposure.

Ensure the curtain pole is perfectly level. Evenly distribute the fabric between each eyelet ring along the pole to create consistent folds. Adjust by gently pulling the fabric from the top.

Allow the curtains to hang for several days; gravity often smooths out minor wrinkles. If creases persist, a low-heat steam iron can be used on the reverse side of the fabric, taking care to avoid direct, prolonged contact with the jacquard surface.

Verify that the curtain width is adequate for your window, typically 1.5 to 2 times the width of the pole for proper gather. Ensure the pole extends sufficiently beyond the window frame on each side. If maximum darkness is desired, consider adding a separate blackout blind or liner behind the curtains.
