Curtains & Drapery Installation & Care

Professional dry clean only

Before you hang:

To achieve the best results, have a professional dry-cleaning shop iron your drapes to remove any creases that may occur in packaging and shipping. You may iron your drapes from the front and back by setting your iron on the appropriate fabric setting. (Please refer to your iron manual).

Pole pocket panels:

Pole pocket  panels are hung using 1” to 2 ½” thick rods. You may also use rings with clips to hang them. (Rings are not included).

Pleated panels:

You will receive drapery hooks with your pleated panels. These hooks should be inserted behind each pleat and on the corners of drapes. You will require drapery rings, which are then connected to the drapery hooks and hung on rod.
(Drapery rings are not included).

Install draperies:

Create spaces between pleats forward for regular traverse rod and back for decorative rod. This will help draperies “stack” easily when drawn open. Pin a drapery hook at the back of each pleat and at ends of each panel. Press draperies and install on rod beginning at master carriers.

Train draperies:

After being hung, draperies need to be “trained” so their pleats and folds hang evenly. Train the folds in your draperies by stacking them open and arranging the folds evenly from top to bottom. Pull pleat folds forward and push back the folds in between. Loosely tie strips of fabric around draperies tied for at least three days. When the ties are removed, the folds should be set.
