Filtered daytime light
Keep a sheer layer closed to soften glare while the heavier curtain remains open.
Layered curtain system
Soft daylight in front. Privacy and blockout behind.
Layer a sheer curtain with a second privacy or blockout curtain so the room can shift from open and luminous to calm and enclosed.

Why layer curtains
More control without losing the softness.
Each layer can be selected for a different purpose, giving the room more flexibility across the day and seasons.
Private at night
Close the rear curtain when stronger privacy and room darkening are required.
Visual depth
Two materials add dimension and let subtle texture sit beside a quieter solid layer.
Design both layers together
Treat the track, stack and fabric pair as one system.
A layered curtain needs more depth than a single track and enough clear wall for both fabrics to stack neatly.
- 1Choose the front layerUse the sheer to set the tone, texture and quality of daytime light.
- 2Choose the rear layerMatch the second fabric to privacy, room-darkening and thermal priorities.
- 3Confirm wall and track spaceCheck brackets, track projection, stack-back and nearby doors or furniture.

Before you choose double curtains.
Which layer sits at the front?
Plan the arrangement around how you want the room to look and how each curtain will be used. Confirm the selected configuration before measuring; both track positions need adequate clearance.
Can the two layers use different headings?
The supplied configuration supports matching headings or a heading for each curtain. Available combinations depend on the other choices and dimensions.
Should both layers have the same drop?
Review each layer against its own track position and intended floor finish. Do not assume two tracks necessarily use the same finished drop.
How much wall space do double curtains need?
Allow enough projection for both layers to move and enough space for the intended stacks. Use the track-specific measuring guide for the final dimensions.
Curtains by function
Choose the atmosphere and the performance together.
Fabric opacity, fullness, heading and track all influence how the finished curtain hangs, moves and manages light.
Sheer daylight
Diffuse hard daylight and add softness while maintaining a light, open room.
Privacy and room darkening
Choose a lined or blockout solution where night privacy and stronger light control are priorities.
A tailored finish
Plan drop, fullness, heading and track placement as part of the room architecture.
Plan the composition
The best curtain starts beyond the edge of the window.
Consider where the fabric stacks, how high the track sits and how the curtain meets the floor before confirming measurements.
- 1Decide the practical jobStart with daylight, privacy, room darkening and insulation priorities.
- 2Choose the visual rhythmFabric texture and heading determine whether the result feels relaxed or structured.
- 3Allow for stack and travelPlan clear space beside the opening and an unobstructed path along the track.

Available combinations depend on the dimensions and options selected for your product.
| Consider | Your choices | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric | Sheers or Blockout | Start with the room’s light and privacy needs, then compare colours at home. |
| Heading | S Fold or pleated | S Fold creates regular waves. Pencil, pinch and inverted pleats give a different tailored finish. |
| Mount | Ceiling / Top Fit or Face Fit | Choose the mounting surface before measuring the track width and finished drop. |
| Opening | Left, right or centre opening | Plan where the fabric stacks and how you use the window or door. |

Measure first. Install with the right guide.
Double curtains require enough depth and stack-back for two moving layers. Confirm the exact track specification before taking final order measurements.
Pair the materials first
Two samples tell a more useful story than one.
View the sheer and privacy fabric together against the window before continuing to the available range.
