Product-General

Veilveil offers a diverse selection of curtains including blackout, sheer, thermal, and decorative styles to suit any home decor needs.

The curtains are not lined by default, but you can select from various lining options for your custom orders.

Please note that the finished lining length will be approximately 1.25 inches shorter than the overall length of the drapery panel, in accordance with industry standards.

If you have any specific requirements or preferences, please don't hesitate to inform us.

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

Lined curtains offer extra privacy, insulation, and light control, while unlined curtains provide a more lightweight, breathable feel.

Our curtains are crafted from premium materials such as polyester, cotton, and linen, each chosen for durability and aesthetic appeal.

Product-Fabric

  • Why do linen curtains wrinkle easily?
    Linen is a natural fiber, and it is known for its relaxed, textured finish, which makes it prone to wrinkles. The fibers naturally bend under stress and require ironing or steaming to maintain a smooth appearance.
  • How do I prevent linen curtains from shrinking?
    Linen is highly susceptible to shrinkage if not properly cared for. To prevent this, always wash linen curtains in cold water and dry them on a low heat setting or air dry them. Pre-washing the fabric before sewing can also reduce shrinkage.
  • Can linen curtains fade in sunlight?
    Yes, linen fibers are sensitive to UV rays and can fade over time when exposed to direct sunlight. Consider installing a lining or using a UV-protective treatment to preserve the fabric’s color and prevent premature aging.
  • Why do cotton curtains wrinkle?
    Cotton is a natural fiber and is prone to wrinkling due to its structure. Blending cotton with other fibers, such as polyester, can help improve wrinkle resistance. Regular steaming or light ironing is required to keep cotton curtains looking fresh.
  • Do cotton curtains shrink when washed?
    Yes, cotton can shrink, especially when exposed to hot water. To prevent shrinking, it is best to wash cotton curtains in cold water and dry them on a low heat or line dry.
  • How can I prevent cotton curtains from fading?
    Cotton fabric can fade with prolonged exposure to sunlight. Using a fabric lining or choosing a cotton blend with UV protection can extend the life of the fabric and preserve its color.
  • Why should I be concerned about sunlight with silk curtains?
    Silk is an extremely delicate fiber that can degrade when exposed to sunlight for prolonged periods. The fabric can lose its vibrant color and even weaken. A UV protective lining is recommended to preserve the fabric.
  • How do I clean silk curtains without damaging them?
    Silk is a sensitive fabric that requires professional cleaning. Handwashing or using harsh detergents can damage the fibers. Dry cleaning is generally the safest method to maintain the fabric's texture and appearance.
  • Does silk wrinkle easily?
    Yes, silk is prone to wrinkles. It is best to iron or steam silk curtains gently using a low heat setting to smooth out creases without damaging the fabric.
  • How do velvet curtains attract dust and pet hair?
    Velvet’s plush texture tends to trap dust and pet hair, which can make it look messy over time. Regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment and brushing with a soft velvet brush can help maintain its clean look.
  • Can velvet curtains get damaged by water?
    Velvet is water-sensitive, so any stains should be treated immediately with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, velvet curtains should be dry cleaned to prevent water damage or distortion of the fabric.
  • How can I prevent velvet from fading in sunlight?
    Velvet is prone to color fading when exposed to direct sunlight. Installing a lining or choosing a blackout lining can protect the fabric from UV rays and preserve its luxurious color.
  • Do polyester curtains wrinkle?
    Polyester is naturally resistant to wrinkling due to its synthetic fiber structure. However, if wrinkles occur, they can usually be removed with a quick steam or light ironing.
  • Why does polyester retain odors?
    Polyester can absorb odors if it is not cleaned regularly. To maintain freshness, wash polyester curtains regularly using mild detergent and avoid leaving them in damp conditions for extended periods.
  • Are polyester curtains durable?
    Yes, polyester is known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. It is less prone to fading, shrinking, or wrinkling compared to natural fibers, making it an excellent choice for long-lasting window treatments.
  • Why do sheer curtains let in sunlight?
    Sheer fabrics are designed to be lightweight and translucent, allowing natural light to filter through while maintaining privacy. This makes them ideal for spaces where you want a soft, diffused light effect.
  • Can sheer curtains fade easily?
    While sheer fabrics are delicate and light in texture, they can fade if exposed to direct sunlight for long periods. Protecting them with UV-blocking treatments or adding a lining can prevent fading.
  • Are sheer curtains easy to clean?
    Sheer fabrics require gentle handling when cleaning. Machine washing on a delicate cycle or hand washing with mild detergent is recommended to preserve the delicate weave and appearance.
  • Why do muslin curtains shrink after washing?
    Muslin is a lightweight fabric that can shrink if not washed correctly. To prevent shrinkage, it’s recommended to wash muslin curtains in cold water and either line dry them or use a low heat setting in the dryer.
  • Can muslin curtains wrinkle?
    Muslin can wrinkle easily, so it is recommended to steam or lightly iron muslin curtains to remove creases and maintain their smooth, fresh appearance.
  • Are muslin curtains transparent?
    Muslin is slightly sheer, so it may not offer complete privacy unless paired with a lining or used in combination with heavier drapes. Consider using them for decorative purposes or in combination with other curtain types.
  • Product-Curtain Types

  • Which fabrics work best for curtains?
    Heavier fabrics like velvet and thermal cotton offer excellent insulation and light control, while lighter fabrics like linen and voile create a softer look with natural light diffusion.
  • Do curtains provide full privacy?
    Privacy levels depend on fabric weight and lining. Blackout or lined curtains ensure the highest privacy, while sheer or lightweight curtains add light filtering without total privacy.

    Roman shades fold neatly into horizontal pleats when raised, offering a structured, compact style. They’re typically mounted within the window frame, ideal for small spaces and a modern look.
  • Can Roman shades insulate my room?
    Yes, especially if they’re lined. Thicker fabrics or thermal linings improve their insulation, making them a functional choice for regulating room temperature.

  • What are zebra shades, and how do they work?
    Zebra shades alternate sheer and opaque stripes, letting you control privacy and light by aligning or offsetting the stripes. They provide flexibility for various lighting needs.
  • Are they suitable for bedrooms?
    Zebra shades offer light filtering, but they don’t fully block light. For a dark room, consider layering with blackout curtains or using a blackout liner.

  • Product-Measure & Install

  • Measuring: Measure window width and length; for fullness, curtain width should be 1.5 to 2 times the window width.

  • Will my blinds work in extreme temperatures?
    Motorized blinds are best kept indoors under stable temperature conditions. Wood and bamboo, in particular, can warp with extreme heat or cold. For outdoor blinds, select models explicitly designed to withstand environmental variations.
  • How do I reset or troubleshoot unresponsive motorized blinds?
    Resetting usually involves pressing a specific button on the motor or remote for a few seconds. Refer to the product manual for brand-specific instructions, and contact customer support if issues persist.
  • What should I do if my blinds stop working suddenly?
    Check the power source—replace batteries or check electrical connections. If the blinds are still unresponsive, perform a reset. Regular inspection and ensuring the motor is not obstructed can also help maintain performance.
