FAQ

Q. How do I figure out what style of curtain will work best for me?
A.

Everyone has his or her own preferred style whether it is country, traditional, contemporary or something in between. One way to decide is to look through the many different styles in our online catalog using our “refine results” search tool. In most cases you will know what’s right for you when you see it.

Q. How can I change the look and feel of a room seasonally?
A.

The really nice thing about window treatments is that you can layer them.

Much like you layer your clothing, you can do the same for your windows.

When you want an open and airy window, use a top treatment or a sheer to

“dress-up” your window. If you need more warmth or coverage add side

panels or a tier to your window.



Q. What’s the best way for me to measure my windows to determine the curtain size I need?
A.

First determine the look/style you want and what area you wish to cover.

* Do you want to cover the whole window to the bottom edge of the sill?
* Do you want only a top treatment style?
* Or, do you want your curtains to go all the way to the floor?

Once you have decided on the curtain style you want, then measure the width & length of where you want the curtains to fall.

Q. What type of treatments will take care of drafty windows or southern exposure?
A.

The best solution for this concern is layering an insulated, lined, or sheer
curtain to your window. This type of treatment with an “extra layer backing” will help reduce window draft as well as keep out the sun.

Q. What is the difference between lined and insulated curtains?
A.

Lined curtains are usually two layers of the same or similar fabric.

Insulated curtains usually have backing made of acrylic that is molded to
the fabric for extra insulation. Both insulated and lined curtains can be used for the same purpose.
