FAQ
What size are these curtain tiebacks?+
The dimensions listed on each product page will vary slightly depending on the specific design, but they typically range from 12cm to 20cm in width and 8cm to 15cm in height. Please refer to the detailed measurements before ordering to ensure they suit your window size.
Can these cotton tiebacks be washed?+
Yes, you can wash these cotton tiebacks! Hand washing is recommended to preserve their colour and prevent shrinkage. Use a mild detergent and cool water. Gently squeeze out excess water – do not wring – and lay flat to dry.
How secure are the holdbacks?+
The metal mechanism within the holdbacks is designed for robust operation. They feature a locking system that provides a firm grip on your curtains, preventing them from slipping or billowing in even moderate breezes. However, always ensure they’re properly adjusted and not overloaded.
Are these tiebacks suitable for heavy curtains?+
While durable, these cotton tiebacks are best suited for lighter to medium-weight curtains. For heavier drapes or blackout fabrics, consider a more robust metal mechanism designed specifically for those weights.
What colours are available?+
These cotton tiebacks come in a variety of neutral colours, including white, cream, beige, grey and charcoal. Check individual product listings for specific colour availability.
Do I need to drill holes to install these?+
No, you do not need to drill any holes! These tiebacks utilize a standard metal clip system that attaches directly to your existing curtain rod or track. It's a straightforward and tool-free installation process.
What is the material composition of the cotton?+
The cotton used in these tiebacks is typically 100% cotton, offering breathability and durability. However, specific blends may be listed on individual product pages – always check for detailed fabric information.
How do I adjust the holdback position?+
Simply pull the release lever located at the back of the holdback to adjust its position along the curtain rod. This allows you to fine-tune the curtain's opening and closing angle, providing precise light control.
Are these tiebacks suitable for outdoor use?+
While designed for indoor use, these cotton tiebacks can be used outdoors in covered areas or sheltered from direct sunlight and heavy rain. Prolonged exposure to the elements may cause fading – we recommend bringing them indoors during inclement weather.
