Resene Curtain Collection ColorShop service - frequently asked questions

How do I know what size curtain I need?
Follow the How to Measure Guide.

Are the curtains lined?
Yes, all curtains have a polyester/cotton fabric lining. Colour Ivory.

If you require alternative backing please refer to a Curtain specialist.

What is a Pencil Pleat curtain?
Pencil Pleat refers to the style of gathering at the top of the curtain. A tape is used to create folds that are gathered closely together to resemble a row of pencils laid side by side. They are created by pulling cords on the tape and knotting the cords off at each end to secure the pleats in place.

The Pencil Pleat curtain is a very popular heading style as it allows you to adjust the gathering to the fullness you prefer, and gives flexibility when selecting the size for your window.

How much should my track extend out from each side of the window?
In most cases, your track should extend 20cm on each side of the window. This allows room to draw the curtain back from the window.
