FAQs
Can I machine wash these curtains?
No, these curtains are strictly professional dry clean only. Machine washing or hand washing can damage the fabric and its special dim-out and thermal properties.
What type of heading do these curtains have?
They feature a 3-inch pencil pleat header, making them suitable for both curtain poles and curtain tracks.
Are these truly blackout curtains?
These are 'dim-out' curtains, meaning they effectively reduce light levels significantly. While they block a substantial amount of light, they may not achieve 100% blackout like some specialized linings, but they are highly effective for room darkening.
What size curtain pole do I need for these curtains?
These curtains are suitable for curtain pole widths ranging from 90cm to 160cm.
Do the curtains come with curtain hooks or tie-backs?
The product information states two panels per pack but does not mention curtain hooks or tie-backs. Curtain hooks for tracks are typically sold separately, and tie-backs are not included.
What material are these curtains made from?
These curtains are made from 100% Polyester fabric.
Will these curtains help with insulation?
Yes, they feature a thermal layering designed to help prevent heat loss during cooler months, contributing to your home's insulation and potentially saving energy.
Troubleshooting
Curtains do not block enough light.
Ensure the curtains are properly drawn and cover the entire window frame. Adjust the pencil pleats to create fuller gathers, which can help minimize light leakage around the edges. Check for gaps between the curtain and the wall or window frame and consider adding a valance or pelmet if significant gaps persist.
Curtains appear wrinkled after unpacking.
Hang the curtains immediately after unpacking to allow gravity to help release creases. If wrinkles persist, iron the curtains on a very low heat setting on the reverse side of the fabric. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.
Pencil pleats are uneven or difficult to adjust.
Gently pull the cords located within the pencil pleat header to gather the fabric. Work from one end to the other, distributing the gathers evenly across the width of the curtain. Securely tie off the cords once the desired pleat density is achieved. If the cords get stuck, gently ease them through the fabric channels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
Unpack: Carefully remove the curtains from their packaging. Lay them flat or hang them briefly to allow any creases from packing to relax.
Measure: Ensure your curtain pole or track width is between 90cm and 160cm to achieve the best look and functionality.
Attach to Pole: If using a curtain pole, thread the pencil pleat header directly onto the pole.
Attach to Track: If using a curtain track, attach curtain hooks (not included) to the pencil pleat header. Then, hook these onto the gliders of your curtain track.
Adjust Pleats: Gently pull the cords on the pencil pleat header to gather the fabric evenly, creating the desired 'pencil pleat' effect. Tie off the cords securely once adjusted.
Hang: Drape the curtains, ensuring they hang evenly.
Compatibility
Curtain Poles: Compatible with curtain poles that have a width between 90cm and 160cm.
Curtain Tracks: Compatible with standard curtain tracks (requires curtain hooks, which are typically sold separately).
Care Instructions
Cleaning: Professional dry cleaning only. Do not machine wash, hand wash, or spot clean with water, as this may damage the fabric or thermal lining.
Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side if necessary to remove wrinkles.
Drying: Do not tumble dry. Allow to air dry naturally after professional cleaning.
Storage: When not in use, store in a dry, cool place, ideally folded or hung to prevent excessive creasing.
