Additional information
Unsure how many curtains you need? Multiply the rod/track width by 1.5 for a full look, or 2 for an extra full look. Then divide by the width of a single curtain and round up.
The curtains are sold in pairs. The sizes stated refer to each single curtain. For the total width, double the width of a single curtain.
Since the fabric will shrink when washing it is a good idea to wash the curtains prior to cutting/hemming.
You can use SY iron-on hemming strip to shorten the curtains without sewing.
Assembly and installation
16 gliders and hooks are usually recommended for each curtain with a width of 145 cm. You can increase or decrease the number depending on whether you want narrower or fuller folds in the pleats.
The curtains can be used on a curtain rod or a curtain track.
The heading tape makes it easy for you to create pleats using RIKTIG curtain hooks.
You can hang the curtains on a curtain rod through the hidden tabs or with rings and hooks.
The room darkening fabric lets in a small amount of light and there is no glare on TV/screens. It gives a strong sense of privacy as shapes and light are barely perceived from the outside.

Material
What is recycled polyester?
When we create products from recycled polyester, PET bottles and other sources of polyester get a new life in products like textiles, storage boxes, kitchen fronts and even lamps. When using them, you get to enjoy exactly the same quality and function as with virgin polyester products. And naturally, they’re just as clean and safe in every way. And perhaps the very best part – you contribute to using less new raw materials too.
Material
What is polyester?
Polyester is a durable, quick-drying and insulating material that is optimal to use for textiles and as filling in pillows, quilts and furniture. The material is made from crude oil – a limited resource. Since IKEA doesn’t want to contribute to more virgin oil being used, we are now gradually switching to recycled and traceable polyester from sources like PET bottles. What’s nice is that polyester can be recycled over and over, without changing or losing its great qualities.
