Nimbus Plain Polyester Curtain Panel - Natural

The Nimbus is a sheer tie-top curtain panel woven from 100% polyester, made to filter daylight rather than block it. The fabric is loosely woven and open enough to see the texture of the threads, so it softens the light coming through a window while keeping a room bright. Along the top edge sits a row of fabric ties that you knot over a pole, which is why the heading gathers into the soft, irregular folds you can see in the photographs rather than the even pleats of a taped heading. It comes in two panel widths, 140 x 250cm and 290 x 250cm, so you can match a single window or a wider run of glass.

A sheer like this earns its place at a window where you want privacy in daylight without giving up the view or the sense of space. It suits a living room or a bedroom, layered in front of a heavier curtain or hung on its own where the room already stays private after dark. The natural, undyed tone reads as a warm off-white against a painted wall and sits happily with wood, wicker and other undyed textures, so it works whether your room leans plain and modern or a little more relaxed.

The tie-top heading is the thing to plan around. Ties knot directly onto a pole, so you will want a curtain pole rather than a track, and the finished drop hangs a little below the pole once tied. Polyester holds its shape well, resists creasing and does not shrink, which is part of why a sheer of this weight drapes cleanly and stays looking tidy between washes. Because the weave is open, handle it gently when laundering. Knot the ties evenly across the pole for the neatest gather, and let the fabric puddle slightly on the floor if you want the loose, unhurried look shown here.

Do these curtains block out light?

No, they are a sheer panel. The open weave filters daylight and softens it while keeping the room bright, so they give daytime privacy rather than darkening a room.

What do I hang these on?

The heading is tie-top, so the fabric ties knot directly over a curtain pole. You will need a pole rather than a track for this style to work.

What size do I need for my window?

There are two widths, 140 x 250cm for a single window and 290 x 250cm for a wider run of glass. Measure your pole width and allow extra fabric for gather.

Will polyester keep its shape over time?

Polyester resists creasing and does not shrink, so a sheer of this weight drapes cleanly and holds its look well between washes with everyday use.

Is the panel see-through at night?

A sheer weave lets light pass both ways, so with lamps on after dark it offers less privacy. Many people layer it with a heavier curtain for the evening.

Are these curtains sold as a pair?

Yes, each option is supplied as a pair of panels, so you dress both sides of a window from one purchase without ordering twice.
