Blackout Rod Pocket Linen Curtain Panel

The role of drapery is twofold: they are a powerful decorating tool that can tie the whole room together, visually expand or soften the space, but they also contribute to helping you get a good night’s rest or simply maintain privacy in your own home. Blackout drapery will fully block out natural light coming in through your windows.

For residential use.

• Outer layer is 100% Linen, made from European Flax
• Stone washed for maximum softness
• OEKO-TEX certified (2019OK0776)

Please note that due to the many variations in monitors and browsers, actual colors may vary. Linen is a natural fiber and absorbs dyes in different ways, which can cause slight variations in color between different seasons and batches.

How to Measure for Drapery
1. MEASURE THE ROD/TRACK

Start by measuring the width of your rod/track without the finials (decorative pieces on the end). If you don’t have one installed yet, measure the width of your window and add 12-16 inches (30-40 cm) to that number: rods/tracks are commonly installed 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) away from the window on either side.

2. CALCULATE THE CURTAIN WIDTH

Most window treatments take 2-3 times more material to achieve proper fullness (also called gather). If you use your rod/track measurements as they are, your curtains will cover the width but the fabric will be flattened across the window. To make them overlap, add another inch (2.5 cm) to the width measurement.

To achieve proper folds when the curtain is closed, multiply the rod/track width by two. For a more deluxe look or if the curtains are semi-sheer, multiply the rod/track width by three. For example: if your rod/track measures at 36 inches (91 cm) wide, you’ll need curtains that are at least 72 inches (182 cm) wide or two 36-inch (91 cm) curtain panels.

3. CALCULATE THE CURTAIN LENGTH (DROP)

Now that you’ve got the width right, you need to decide on how long you want your curtains to be. There are three common curtain drops: sill — ends at about 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from the windowsill, full — ends at about 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from the floor, and puddle — extends for about 1-3 inches (2.5-8 cm) on the floor.

Once you choose the right drop, measure the distance from the rod/track top to where you want the curtains to end. If you don’t have a rod/track installed yet, note that they are typically installed 4 inches (10 cm) above the window frame.

WASHING
We recommend washing these in cold water in a gentle machine cycle with the mild detergent formulated for delicate or linen fabrics. Do not use bleach or detergents with color brighteners as they can discolor and weaken your linen sheets. Do not overload your machine, rinse your linen properly in order to remove any detergent or fabric softener residue.

DRYING
Do not tumble dry.

WRINKLES
When it comes to reducing wrinkles, ironing is one way to go. However, it will hardly give you the smooth result you are looking for and it may weaken the fiber over time. If you do decide to iron your linens, do it while they are a little damp and use a quality steamer. Use low heat. Also, make sure you split the difference between natural linen wrinkles and folding lines: the latter can be removed while the former are a natural part of the linen fabric and texture. We recommend embracing the natural wrinkling as this is a natural characteristic of linen.

PROFESSIONAL CLEANING
If you are at all hesitant about washing your blackout curtain panels, we recommend contacting your local quality professional dry cleaner.
