Strip Overlapping Guides

Optimising curtain performance
 
In addition to choosing your hanging system, you can also specify the amount that your PVC strips overlap to increase their effectiveness. In principal, sheltered light duty curtains will need smaller PVC overlaps, more exposed heavy duty curtains will need larger ones. (Image shows 200mm strips with 36% overlap.)
 
The amount you can overlap each PVC strip is governed by how wide the strip is and the hanging system it's made for. Click on the links below to see our video demos & guides for more details. (If you’ve already ordered a curtain, these will also show you how to hang them correctly according to your specified overlap.) If you're in any doubt about strip overlapping, please contact us.
