Are hooks or rings included with the curtains?
Hooks and rings are not included with the multi function curtain tape. These must be ordered separately from another supplier.
How many curtains will I get if I order a quantity of 1?
You will receive one curtain/scarf. The quantity selected is the exact number of curtains you will receive. If you want two curtains for one window, please enter "2" in the quantity field.
Can I also order curtain poles from you?
Curtain poles and other accessories must be ordered from another supplier.
How wide is the curtain tape?
The strap is approximately 10 cm wide or high and can be used with hooks, sliders or rings and has loops to allow a rod to be inserted.
Why is the strap so wide and why are there 3 loops on top of each other? Do you have to use all 3 or is it enough to use just the top loop?
You can attach hooks, sliders or rings to all three loops. Depending on how high you want the top hem to be. A pole can be passed through the middle loops.
Do the curtains come with rods?
Curtain rails and other accessories are not included.
What is the density (g/m2)? I would like to order the thickest curtains, but I can't see any information on the product.
The weight of the Millennium Velvet is 305 g/m2 (tolerance = +/- 5%) and is therefore quite heavy.
Is the fabric thick enough to be used as a windbreak?
Yes, at approximately 300 g/m2 the fabric is heavy enough to be used as a windbreak. However, make sure you order the fabric long enough to lie on the ground and keep out draughts.
Does the fabric reduce reverberation, sound and noise from outside?
Yes, absolutely. The fabric is nice and thick and absorbs noise from outside, improving the acoustics in the room and significantly reducing reverberation and echo in the room.
Can they be hung outside? On a terrace/canopy?
If the curtains are protected from the weather and do not get wet in the rain, they can be hung outside. The fabric is polyester and does not absorb moisture from the air like cotton.
How do I measure correctly?
All measurements always refer to the stretched fabric. For example, if you want to cover a 100 cm wide window with a curtain scarf, it should be 180-200 cm wide so that it can fall in beautiful waves.
How many curtains do I have to take to get a total width of 280 cm?
It looks best if you have an even number of scarves hanging from the window. So 2 or 4 or 6 etc., because then you will have the same amount of fabric hanging to the left and right of the window when the curtain is open. To cover a width of 280 cm and get beautiful, even waves, you should use about 540-560 cm of fabric (= 280 cm x 2 with a border of about 20 cm). Now divide this 540 cm by the number of curtains you want and you have the width of the curtain. For 2 curtains this would be approx. 270 cm per curtain (= 540 cm / 2) and for 4 curtains approx. 135 cm per curtain (= 540 cm / 4).
Yes, the curtain can be machine or hand washed. Please use a mild detergent without brightener/bleach and a maximum water temperature of 30°C. The eyelets are made of stainless metal and can also be washed.
Can I put the curtain in the washing machine?
Yes, the curtain can be machine washed on a delicate wash cycle using a maximum water temperature of 30°C and a low spin speed. Please ensure that the curtain is washed separately. The drum should only be half full. The eyelets are made of stainless metal and can also be washed.
Can the curtain be tumble dried?
No, the curtain should not be tumble dried. It should be hung damp to dry without creasing.
Does the curtain look the same at the back as it does at the front?
No, the fabric is smooth on the back and has a fine pile on the front. The curtain is sewn so that the pile runs from top to bottom.
Does the curtain have the same colour at the front and back?
Yes, the colour is the same on the front and back. But the fabric is flat at the back and has a fine pile at the front.
What is the pile direction? What is the pile direction of velvet?
There is a fine pile at the front. The curtain is sewn so that the pile runs from top to bottom. If you stroke it in the opposite direction, the fine pile rises and you can feel the fine, dense and heavy fabric.
I am planning a curtain to keep out the cold or a vestibule for an entrance, passage or corridor. What should I bear in mind?
You should ensure that the curtain is the correct width and height and that the correct number of panels are used. For curtains with eyelets you should allow at least 30% extra width, i.e. 130 cm for a 100 cm wide aisle. For curtains with our multi-functional tunnel tape, you can allow for slightly less material, as these curtains can be stretched more than the eyelet curtains hanging on a curtain rail. When choosing the height, remember that the curtain should rest on the floor to prevent cold air from creating an uncomfortable draught. For a passage or corridor, it is a good idea to use two curtain panels that you can walk through in the middle. This is much more convenient than using a single curtain that has to be constantly opened and closed. For a 100 cm wide hallway, this would mean two curtains with eyelets, each at least 65 cm wide (= 100 cm + 30% = 130 cm / 2 curtains = 65 cm per curtain).
How thick should the curtain rod be for eyelet curtains?
The inside diameter of our eyelets is 40mm. This means that a wide range of curtain rod thicknesses will fit. The diameter of standard curtain rods is often between 16mm and 28mm and all of these diameters will fit. Please note that the larger the diameter of the rod, the less the eyelet can tilt when the curtain is moved. Very large diameters will therefore require more material to cover an area than smaller diameters. We therefore recommend that you choose rods no larger than 30mm in diameter.
