Additional information
The curtains are sold in pairs. The sizes stated refer to each single curtain. For the total width, double the width of a single curtain.
Since the fabric will shrink when washing it is a good idea to wash the curtains prior to cutting/hemming.
You can use SY iron-on hemming strip to shorten the curtains without sewing.
Velvet can be prone to marks/creases. To remove them, iron the fabric with steam on the reverse side, then gently brush the pile where the mark/crease is to lift it.
Assembly and installation
15 gliders and hooks are usually recommended for each curtain with a width of 140 cm. You can increase or decrease the number depending on whether you want narrower or fuller folds in the pleats.
Curtains reduce heat from the sun as well as heat loss from draughty windows. For best effect, mount from ceiling to floor with the curtains overlapping the window, as close as possible, to prevent gaps.
Luxurious thick velvet that falls elegantly and captures the light, adding depth and richness to the colour. The dense weave dampens sound, softens light from outside and is also resistant to pilling.
The 300 cm length allows you to hang the curtain at ceiling height to create a sophisticated, high-ceiling look; or you can hang the curtain above the window and let it puddle on the floor.
Curtains with heading tape allow you to hang the curtain directly on the curtain rod using the rod pocket or tabs. You can also hinge the curtain onto a track rail using gliders and hooks.
Using gliders and hooks usually creates a more formal and dressed-up feel, where hardware is not visible.
Choose from different lengths and colours to adapt to different window sizes and to create a coordinated look throughout your home.

Function/solution
The fabric dims the daylight
The fabric dims the daylight entering the room when it is brighter outside, and reduces glare. It gives you a comfortable sense of privacy because people cannot see in during the daytime. At night, when the room is lit, it is possible to perceive shapes and silhouettes from outside.
Function/solution
Room darkening fabric
The room darkening fabric lets in a small amount of daylight, when it is brighter outside and darkens the room. It prevents glare on TV’s and digital screens. It gives you a strong sense of privacy as people cannot see in day or night. Silhouettes and light indoors are barely perceived.
