Custom Drapery & Curtains Acton – Free Installation

It is a real consideration rather than a no. Keep the panel edge at least a metre off the stove and choose a fabric that chars rather than melts, so cotton or wool ahead of a synthetic sheer. The panels we avoid are the ones that draw right past the stove, since cloth living beside that heat all winter dries out and goes brittle. Stationary panels flanking the window solve it in most rooms.

They do hold more than a blind does. What matters is whether they can be cleaned without a production. Pleated lined panels are a dry-clean job and most people put that off for years. A washable unlined cotton that goes in cold and hangs back damp gets cleaned twice a year, which counts for more than the theoretically better fabric. Either way, run a brush head along the leading edge once a month.

Yes, and it helps more in a low room than a tall one. We set the rod as close to the ceiling as the bracket allows, usually 10 to 15 cm above the casing, and run the panels to the floor. The eye reads that whole height as window. What you want to avoid is a rod sitting right on the casing with a short panel under it, which makes the ceiling feel lower than it is.

Sometimes. If a rod is solid, level and long enough to stack the panels off the glass, we will make to it and save you the hardware cost. The ones we replace are spring tension rods, anything bowing in the middle, and rods that stop at the edge of the casing, because a panel with nowhere to go covers a third of the window when it is open. We check the rods at the measure and tell you straight.
