- Do these curtains really block all light?
- They block most light, but the blackout lining is not absolute. Expect a dark room with faint glow at the edges unless you overlap the panels and use a wrap-around rod.
- How do I hang them?
- The pleats are sewn in, so you hang them by the hidden tabs or rod pocket at the back. You do not need hooks, rings or a pleat hook tape.
- Can I machine wash them?
- No. The satin face and blackout lining are best hand washed or dry cleaned. Machine washing can break down the lining and dull the sheen.
- Will two panels fit my window?
- Each panel is 52 inches wide, so the pair covers about 104 inches flat. For a full, gathered look, plan on roughly twice your window width in fabric.
- How do they compare with plain rod-pocket blackout curtains?
- They cost more than basic rod-pocket panels but look dressier because of the fixed pleats. Plain panels are easier to wash and more casual.
