What are the details about the header styles (Grommet Top, Rod Pocket, Pinch Pleat – Double)?

The distance between the 2 pleats is about 5", and the final width will be 4-8" wider than ordered to create the center overlap and end return.

The distance between the 2 pleats is about 5", and the final width will be 4-8" wider than ordered to create the center overlap and end return.

For more information about the header, please click Header Style.

Do the curtains come with lining by default?

The curtains are not lined by default. You can choose lining options for your custom orders.

The finished lining length is roughly 1.25" shorter than the finished length of the drapery panel, which is the industry standard.

If you have specific needs, please kindly let us know.

Order lining swatches on the bottom of the Free Swatches Page.

I would like to order extra-large drapes. What is the maximum size of your extra curtains?

There is no limit on solid curtain sizes. If both the width and the length are longer than 104", we will splice the fabrics, and some vertical splicing seams may come.

The maximum length of pattern curtains is 104". If the length is longer than the maximum, we will rotate 90 degrees of the pattern.

Would I get 2 panels if I order 1 quantity?

No, you will get only one panel if your ordered quantity is 1. Our curtains are sold in single panels, not in pairs.

What is the meaning of design?

We provide unique designs like splicing, elegant lace trim, delicate bead trim, and playful pompoms to make your curtains more fun and elevate your space. For further style design needs, please feel free to contact us.

How do I search for blackout curtains?

Try to search with the term Blackout Curtains or sort it out by function to enter into the Blackout Curtains category. Our blackout curtains typically block 95%-100% of the light, even without any lining added.

With that being said, you can also add our blackout lining to the fabrics you're big on to achieve 100% blackout.

Can you make door curtains, patio curtains, or other unusual curtains?

Yes, we also can make unusual curtains like door curtains for French door use or bed canopy sheer. Please contact us when you have special needs, and we will assist you with the order processing.

1. For french doors, usually use double pocket sheer panels. Please order the rod pocket header and leave a message like this: make the double pocket, the total length = 1'' + 2'' + 50'' + 2'' + 1'' =55 inches.

1'' is the length of the pleat above the pocket

2'' is the length of the pocket

50'' is the distance between 2 rod

Width

The width size per panel = the width of the rod multiply 2 fullness. Usually, the 2Xfullness is enough to create a wave look when using cloth fabrics and semi-sheer fabrics, but you can choose the 2.5Xfullness on thin sheer fabric.

Length

The length is most important, the total length = top pleats + top pocket + the distance between 2 rods + bottom pocket + bottom pleats.

The length of the pocket should be a bit longer than the rod diameter *3.14/2 to make sure the rod can go through well.

2. For bed canopy, usually need a big pocket, please order the rod pocket header and leave a message like this: No top pleat, the total length = 5'' pocket +80'' = 85 inches.

Can I see the fabrics in person?

Yes, we offer up to 10 free swatches per order with just a $3.99 shipping fee. If you need more than 10, please place a new order.

Due to different printing batches and different screen brightness and resolution, the actual color may be slightly different from the picture on the product page. Please kindly understand.

Customers with strict color requirements can order a sample to confirm the color before placing the order.

What about washing and caring?

Gentle cycle machine washable in cold water or hand wash.
Hang dry or dry on low heat.
Wipe clean, dry clean, and do not bleach.
Steam ironing when the fabric is still damp. Some fabrics become heavier after absorbing water, so it is recommended that you use a one-piece washing machine when the curtain gets larger.
If you want to use an iron, please turn down the temperature to avoid burning the curtains.

How do I care for and maintain curtains with different lining options?

All lining-added curtains are recommended to dry clean or gently cycle machine wash per panel at a time.

What are the benefits of choosing lined curtains over unlined curtains?

Unlined curtains will be at higher risk of being damaged by the sun or experiencing fading over time. Curtains serve as both a fashionable and functional tool to elevate space. To that end, we recommend you choose the proper curtain lining.

How to order a valance in the same fabric?

Please send us a pic of the valance style you want to support@curtarra.com. We will reply ASAP and ask you for the size and other details if needed.

How to order the special header style for french doors, bed canopy, outdoor, and other occasions?

If you need a special header style based on your own hardware, just send us a pic of your hardware to support@curtarra.com, and we will reply to you asap and help with the special customization.

1'' is the length of the pleat above the pocket

2'' is the length of the pocket

50'' is the distance between 2 rod

Width

Length

The length is most important, the total length = top pleats + top pocket + the distance between 2 rods + bottom pocket + bottom pleats.

The length of the pocket should be a bit longer than the rod diameter *3.14/2 to make sure the rod can go through well.

2. For bed canopy, usually need a big pocket, please order the rod pocket header and leave a message like this: No top pleat, the total length = 5'' pocket +80'' = 85 inches.

How to order tie-backs in the same fabric?

We offer free tiebacks in the same fabric for normal-size curtains (at least 24''W*60 ''L). Sheers and valances come without tiebacks.

How to remove the buttons on the curtains' side hem?

The buttons are set for tiebacks. They are removable. You can remove them by just squeezing the middle part and unplugging the back side.

Should I purchase pin hooks for the pleated header?

Your Pinch Pleat, Euro Pleat, or Flat Panel orders come along with white adjustable hooks by default. You'll only need to purchase the rings or clips separately. If you prefer metal pins, please specify while checking out.

In case you need extra adjustable hooks or metal pins for spare, we offer those as well. Kindly check the Zac page to order.

How many rings should I buy for the pinch pleat hooks?

The space between 2 pleats is 5". For example, if your pleat is 52" wide, please buy 12 rings.

I am a designer and have special needs in pattern and color. Can you make it for me?

Sure thing! Please send us an image of your pattern, and we can customize it with the digital print technique. By the way, sometimes color doesn't translate perfectly on the computer screen. The finished fabric might look a bit different from the provided image.

How many curtain rings will I need?

Wondering how many curtain rings to snag for your pinch pleat curtains? It's all about that spacing between the pleats. At Curtarra, our pinch pleat double and triple curtains feature a 5" space between pleats. Just divide your panel width by the pleat space, add one, and voila! For example, a 25" wide panel would need 6 rings: 25/5 + 1 = 6. Easy-peasy!

Do the curtains come with the rings?

Whoops, nope! Our curtains are fabulous all on their own, but curtain rings are like the perfect accessory—they're sold separately. But don't fret. You can grab them right here.

Do the brackets come with the curtain rods?

Absolutely! Our curtain rods come fully equipped with either 2 or 3 supporting brackets, depending on their length. Shorter rods get 2, while longer ones get 3. We've got you covered!

Does the curtain wand come with the curtains? How do I use it?

Nope, the curtain wand is like the magician's wand—sold separately for added enchantment! We've got some nifty tips on how to work your magic with it. Check how to wield that wand like a pro, whether it's a grommet top, rod pocket, or pinch pleat.

Attach the metal hook of the curtain wand to the rings that come with it, and insert the rings onto the rod at the edge of the curtain panel. Hold the wand firmly and slide it smoothly along the curtain rod to open or close the curtains.

What size rod (diameter) would I need to fit the grommet sizes?

Got grommet-sized questions? We've got answers! Our grommets come in a sleek 1.6" inside diameter, perfect for curtain rods with a diameter no greater than 1.5". Keep it snug, keep it stylish!

Can your curtains be used on a curtain track system? Which header style works with that?

Absolutely! Our custom curtains are track-system friendly. The pinch pleat header is your best bet for this setup.

Plus, our pinch pleat curtains come with FREE adjustable hooks or metal pins, making it a breeze to hang them on a curtain track system.

Do the curtains come with a tieback?

You bet! Almost all our custom curtains come with a FREE matching tieback, except for sheer curtains.

We skip the curtain tiebacks on sheers to maintain their light, breezy look. But don't worry, if you want a tieback for your sheer curtains, just drop us an email or hit us up on LiveChat, and we'll make it your own.

Can I customize the curtain tiebacks?

Glad you asked! We carefully tailored decorative curtain tiebacks for a more sophisticated take on a whimsical tassel design, perfect for warming up any space.

What is the proper way to use the curtain tiebacks?

Our tiebacks are designed to keep your curtains looking sleek and tidy. Simply wrap the tieback around your curtains and connect the white loops at both ends to the metal hooks. Voilà! Your curtains will sit perfectly to the side.

How do I adjust the white adjustable hooks?

Adjusting the hooks is super easy. Just pull the hook down to where you want it. Need it higher? Pull it all the way down to the bottom. The bottom is open, so you can reinsert the adjustable part into the hook for the perfect fit.

Can I add lining to sheer curtains?

Oops! It's not recommended to add lining to sheer curtains. Extra lining can make them heavier and thicker, which takes away from their airy, light appeal and lets less sunlight into the room. If you're looking for better blackout options, consider lightweight semi-sheer curtains or linen curtains instead.

Are sheer curtains come with weights?

Yes, sheer curtains come with weights on 2 hem corners.

Big and thick sheer use bigger weights, and small and thin sheer use smaller weights.

2. Secure both the brackets and screws for a flush mount.
3. Test the cordless or motorized mechanism to ensure your window shades work properly.

Tips: Installation for inside and outside mounts differs slightly. For an inside mount, position the window shades underneath the sash. For an outside mount, place the headrails above the window frame.

How to layer shades and curtains?

Glad you asked! Double layers of window shades and curtains just double the styling fun. Our custom window shades are not only excellent standalone covers but also perfect extra layers.

Layering window shades and curtains can make a statement in any space. For a crisp, layered look, pair airy sheer curtains or linen curtains with cordless window shades in a cohesive colorway. For added functionality, combine blackout roller shades or solar shades with blackout curtains to enhance texture and light control. This combination offers both style and function, giving your room a polished and sophisticated feel.

What type of hooks should be purchased for Pinch Pleat curtains?

No need to order hooks; they come with your curtain. Please refer to the attached picture. Additionally, the hooks are adjustable for length.

How to get side panle curtains size?

Width: If you need to cover the window, use panels that are 1.5 to 3 times the width of the window for a fuller look. When the panels are opened, they have an 8-10 fullness look on the side area.

If you only need to cover a 12-24 inch space beside the window frame, consider ordering a 30-60 inch wide pleated panel or a 60-120 inch flat panel(rod pocket, grommet, back tab) to get an 8-10 fullness look.

Length: Decide whether you want your panels to touch the floor, puddle slightly, or hover above it. Each option creates a different effect, so choose according to your desired style.
