FAQ

What is the rope made of?+

The rope used in these tiebacks is typically made from braided polypropylene, chosen for its durability and resistance to moisture – ideal for use in bathrooms or kitchens.

How do I install them?+

Simply thread the metal hooks through the fabric of your curtains and then secure the rope ends around the window frame. Ensure a tight fit for optimal hold.

Can these tiebacks be used with thick drapes?+

Yes, but you’ll need to use multiple tiebacks per curtain to achieve adequate tension. Consider using heavier-duty hooks if your drapes are particularly heavy.

Are the metal hooks rustproof?+

The hooks are coated for corrosion resistance, making them suitable for standard domestic environments. However, avoid prolonged exposure to saltwater or extremely humid conditions.

What size windows can these tiebacks be used on?+

These tiebacks are best suited for windows up to 1.2m (4ft) wide. For larger windows, you may need additional tiebacks for secure fastening.

How do I clean the rope?+

Wipe down the rope with a damp cloth – avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which could damage the fibres.

Do these tiebacks come in different colours?+

Currently, these tiebacks are available in natural rope colour. However, we may introduce other coloured options in future collections.

Are these tiebacks suitable for outdoor use?+

While the polypropylene is weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and rain isn't recommended. It’s best suited for indoor or lightly shaded areas.

What if the rope frays?+

Regularly inspect the rope for signs of fraying. If minor fraying occurs, you can carefully trim the ends with scissors. For significant damage, contact the manufacturer for potential replacement options (refer to Amazon's returns policy).

How many tiebacks are included in a set?+

Each set contains 6 rope tiebacks with metal hooks, offering ample coverage for most standard window sizes. Adjust the number of tiebacks based on your specific curtain weight and size.
