Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup and care will ensure your Fusion Balmoral Check Curtains provide lasting style and function.
Setup Instructions
- Measure and Select: Before purchase, accurately measure your window's width and desired drop. Remember that the listed sizes are per individual curtain panel, and they are sold as a pair. Ensure you have selected the appropriate size for optimal coverage and gather.
- Install Curtain Pole: A curtain pole is essential for eyelet curtains. Install your curtain pole securely, ensuring it extends beyond the window frame by at least 15-30 cm (6-12 inches) on each side. This allows the curtains to stack back neatly and prevents light leakage.
- Thread Curtains: Carefully thread the eyelets of each curtain panel onto the curtain pole. To achieve a neat finish where the curtains face the wall, ensure the first and last eyelet are positioned to fold outwards towards the wall.
- Hang and Adjust: Place the pole into its brackets. Gently adjust the fabric between the eyelets to create even pleats and a balanced, elegant drape across the entire window.
Compatibility
- Curtain Poles: These curtains are designed for use with standard curtain poles. Refer to the product sizing information for recommended pole widths:
- W46in (117cm) curtains: Compatible with pole widths of 90 to 160cm
- W66in (168cm) curtains: Compatible with pole widths of 140 to 220cm
- W90in (229cm) curtains: Compatible with pole widths of 180 to 300cm
- Interior Decor: Their natural beige colour and classic check pattern make them highly compatible with country, rustic, traditional, and subtly contemporary interior design themes.
Care Instructions
- Dry Clean Only: Due to the 100% cotton fabric and specialized lining, these curtains must be dry cleaned only. Do not machine wash, hand wash, tumble dry, iron, or bleach, as this can damage the fabric and lining.
- Regular Dusting: To maintain freshness and prevent dust buildup, gently dust the curtains periodically or use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment on a low setting.
- Spot Cleaning (Limited): For very minor, fresh marks, *gently* blot the affected area with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain or damage the fabric. For anything more than minor surface dust or a very small spot, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
