Tab Top Curtains and Sheers

Product Overview

Tab top curtains are similar to eyelet curtains except it have straps instead of rings. Now the straps are an add-on which creates gaps between the two of them. So this is a morden and simple option but one thing to be careful with this is that it should always be fitted higher than the top of the window so there is no gaps for the light to pass through. All you see is the fabrics so you can have a nice rod with beautiful finals to complement the texture and colour on the fabric.

Materials Used

Tab Top curtains can be made with varied fabrics. The major category of fabric used for this type of curtains are block out and sheer. Translucent fabrics are not as popular as it is not that practical as it won’t fully block out light and is not a good insulant.

When it comes to block out fabrics there is a wide range of fabrics available but popular one the simpler designs. Also, attaching lining is not a very viable solution in this type of curtains. Hence, when using block out fabric its better to use the block out fabrics with back coating or use liners by itself.

With sheer fabrics similar and plain fabric are more popular as these curtains cover larger areas and similar or plain fabric will make the room less busy.

Operation

Eyelet curtains can be operated by hand only. It is not possible to have a cord control for this type of curtains. In most cases it is a good option to split the curtains into two and have two bunches on either sides.

Child Safety

Since the early 1990s at least 15 young Australian children have tragically died as a result of unfortunate strangulation incidents involving blinds cords and chains.

Australian Child Safety law requires all blinds retailers to supply child safety devices with all kinds of curtains which have loose cords and chains hanging. It is ones own responsibility to make sure that the child safety cleat is installed and any loose cords/chains are wrapped. Warning Stickers supplied with the blinds should never be removed.
