FAQs

Any curtain rod will work with our curtains (or none at all for travel or hanging the blackout layer behind blinds). You can use a single rod and hang both layers together or double curtain rod to hang the layers seperately. 

Yes! Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Hang to dry.

Each panel will cover a window that is 50” wide. Windows wider than 50” would require two panels to be sure all the light is blocked (and windows over 100” would require 3 panels, etc.). It is also important to consider that the panel needs to be pushed against the window. So allow at least an extra inch at the bottom of the panel.

Absolutely! If you don't have a curtain rod, you can use the blackout layer on its own by placing it behind your blinds, as shown in our portable blackout option. Just ensure you have about 1.5 inches of clearance behind your blinds for the blackout blocks to fit.

If you use a curtain rod, many customers find it easier to remove their blinds entirely, as they become unnecessary. However, if you prefer to keep the blinds, you can use the blackout layer in front of them, but it may be challenging to block out every bit of light, and you may see light leaks. We recommend removing the blinds for a simpler installation, smoother use, and optimal light-blocking capabilities.

Yup! The blackout layer has curtain rings that attach to the curtain rod in between the outer curtain's back tabs. They are completely separate. If you have a curtain that has back tabs or grommets you can order the blackout layer and place it behind your current curtain.

If you have a curtain with a rod pocket you can use a double curtain rod and hang them on the two separate rods.

Only if you want to block all light bleeds!

Our curtain also work well when used as "traditional" blackout curtains. However, they will block every bit of light from the edges if you use the blackout blocks.

You can use the curtains as you would any traditional curtain. Or check out our 'How-To' video to see how to incorporate the Blackout Blocks to block all light from the edges of the curtain.
