- Is one panel enough for a window?
- One panel covers a wide span but hangs flat, so most windows look better with two panels for a gathered, full drape. Measure your rod width and double it for a full look.
- Will it really block out light?
- The blackout lining blocks most daylight and street light. Some glow can still come around the edges unless the panel overlaps the frame.
- What rod and rings does it need?
- The pinch-pleat header needs a rod with rings or a pleat hook system. It does not slide onto a rod pocket, so plan the hardware before hanging.
- How do I get the creases out?
- Hang the panel first, then steam it in place. Velvet should not be ironed directly; use a steamer or a pressing cloth on low heat.
- How do I clean velvet curtains?
- Dry cleaning is safest for velvet with a blackout lining. If the care label allows washing, use cold water and air dry, and never tumble dry.
