INSTALLATION AND CARE GUIDE: ROD POCKET DRAPERY

Thank you for purchasing from Draped in Details, simply follow our step-by-step instructions, and your beautiful new draperies will soon be enhancing your home or work space for many years to come.

Getting Started
Please read through all the instructions before you begin to install.

  1. Carefully remove your new draperies from their packaging.

NOTE:  If you receive draperies with a decorative border on the front or front and bottom, place the bordered sections toward the center of the rod toward the glass thereby facing each other.

INSTALLING YOUR ROD POCKET DRAPERIES
You are now ready to hang your draperies.

  1. Insert your drapery pole through the pocket at the top of the drapery
  2. Once you have inserted the pole through the pocket, let your drapery hang to relax any shipping wrinkles.
  3. Repeat the same steps for all other panels.
  4. With the draperies in place on the pole, mount the rod on the already installed brackets.  Adjust the gathers evenly across the pole.
DRESSING YOUR DRAPERY

All of our draperies are hand pressed prior to shipping, however due to transit, some additional wrinkling may occur.  Prior to hanging your draperies, you may want to lay them out and gently iron them on the lining side using a warm iron.  If you have a hand held steamer, you can steam your draperies once they have been hung.  Be sure to cover the top of the steamer head with a sneaker sock to prevent water droplets from staining the fabric.
Once your draperies have been installed, most wrinkles and/or folds will hang out on their own.
Please keep in mind that silks and linens will characteristically have wrinkles regardless of steaming or pressing.

ADJUSTMENTS
Once your drapery is hung, and if you need to make an adjustment to the height of the drapery, you can drop or raise the drapery pins +/- 1” to make the drapery longer or shorter.  If further adjustments are required you may need to adjust your rod height.

CARE AND CLEANING
If your drapery becomes dusty, simply vacuum over the panels using low suction and using an upholstery attachment.  We recommend also taking the draperies down if necessary and hang them outside on a sunny breezy day to air out.  For a more thorough cleaning, we recommend contacting a professional cleaning company.
