About fullness

How do I choose the height of my net curtains?

Just measure the height from your rod or hanging system down to the ground. Generally, curtains fall a few centimeters from the ground, but you can stop your curtain where you want to.

The height ordered will be produced from the first upper seam on the curtain tape or your rod pocket down to the bottom of your curtain. For net curtains with eyelets, the height will be from the top of the eyelet to the bottom of the curtain, which corresponds to the top of your rod to wherever you want your curtain to stop at the bottom.

What do I use to hang my net curtains?

All our curtains are made with a rod pocket, curtain tape, or eyelets, you need to make your choice when you place your order, using the scrollbar on the page concerned. Good to know: Finishings with rod pockets or curtain tape are more economical than the eyelet finishing.

What is the difference between a "net," "sandblasted," "Terylene" or "linen" curtain?

"Net" curtains are very light and transparent. They allow a maximum of light inside your house, but they still obscure the view into your house.
"Sandblasted" and "Terylene" curtains are a bit more opaque and a bit thicker than a traditional curtain, but they still let light pass through. These are the great classic curtains, it is an excellent compromise between illumination and protecting the privacy of your home.
Polyester and "linen" curtains are the most opaque of our curtains and the thickest. They are ideal if you want to maintain a maximum of privacy for your home.

How do I choose the dimensions of my looped curtains?

We recommend mutiplying the length of your rod by 1.5. Small windows don't need as many gathers as a net curtain panel, and what's more you will have an additional gather with the tightening of the tieback.
With regard to the height, measure the height of your window from your curtain rod to the bottom of the window, generally the finishing will stop at the windowframe.
Dimensions ordered will be the dimensions of your finished curtain, ready to hang, including tape.

What dimensions do I use for my small net curtains, brise-bise, and straight net curtains?

These small curtains, or "stright curtains" are generally hung directly on the window and require few gathers or are even flat. With regard to the heights of small curtains, generally we cover a window with a brise-bise that will dress the lower part of the window, either half or 2/3. You can also install a second short one, generally 30 cm, which will give the window a nice finish. However, keep in mind that there are no rules. The most important thing is to decorate your window according to your taste. You can install every height of curtain based on the landscape, or garden you want to see, or the part of the window you want to block in order to maintain the privacy of your home. There are no errors of taste.

What rods can I use for my small net and straight curtains?

All our brise-bise net curtains can accept a rod up to 1 to 2 cm in diameter, depending on the model. Generally, all rods sold in home supply stores will fit our curtains.
