If you already have existing drapes, why don’t you use our blackout linings with your pencil pleat curtains. Simply hook the linings at the back of your pencil pleat curtains. Linings generally have an one inch curtain tape at the back to use for hanging them on to the curtains. As mentioned you can only use these linings on pencil pleat curtains, but if you need to use them with your ring top or tab top curtains then simply stitch the lining at the back and drape your curtains properly. This system should be ideal to block the light.
Just as significantly though we might always suggest these linings with all readymade curtains just because they considerably enhance the look of the curtains ; colors are richer and more pragmatic, your curtains drape more beautifully and the blackout lining protects the fabric from severe wear and tear from daylight. Standard linings in ready-made curtains are very thin and simply let day light thru on most occassions.

Usually the curtain panel is about two inches shorter in length then stated so they can’t be seen from the front when hung behind the curtains.
