A guide to hanging loose blackout curtain linings
Blackout linings are seperate curtains that hang behind the face curtains and stop all light and save energy by stopping the heat from escaping.
1. Lie the curtains face down on a flat surface and place the lining on top of the curtains face side up
2. If using standard curtain hooks then insert the hooks into the lining and then the curtain tape.
3. Pull the curtain hook towards you ensuring the downward arm of the hook lies over the face side of the lining.
4. If using a curtain track fitted with gliders then attach to the appropriate hook position on the curtain tape. Then insert a standard curtain hook into the lining tape and pull through the ring at the foot of the hook glider. Ensure the download arm of the curtain hook lies over the face side of the lining.
5. Unpick cords at one end of both the curtain and lining and knot securely. Unpick the cord at the opposite end and gather tape evenly until required curtain width is reached. Tie surplus cord closely to edges of the curtain tape to hold the curtain in position.
