Summer, monsoon and winter
Summers are hot, so choose light colours and lining to cut heat. Monsoon humidity can cause mildew on damp fabric, so choose washable fabrics and keep windows ventilated. Winters are cold, so heavy lined or thermal curtains help keep rooms warm.
Lined and thermal choices
Thermal linings trap a layer of air and cut heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Add an interlining for extra insulation. Check that the lining is stitched evenly.
Dust and cleaning
Dust settles on curtains near roads and in dry months. Vacuum monthly, and wash or dry-clean as the fabric allows. Sheers need more frequent washing.
Market buying
Islamabad and Rawalpindi have curtain shops and fabric markets. Compare fabric weight, lining and stitching, hold samples against your window and ask for written quotes. Finishes.pk is not a dealer.
Measuring and fitting
Measure the track width and drop, allow fullness and fix rods or tracks into solid wall. Fitting should be done by a trained fixer, and the window frame, wall and fixing points checked for strength first.
Before you decide
Choose lined, washable fabrics, compare quotes on the same specification and measure carefully. Ask the seller for a fabric or product sample, confirm the width, material and colour fastness in writing and agree a return policy before paying. Visit the shop in person, hold the sample against the actual window and ask how long delivery and fitting will take before you pay a deposit. Measure the window or opening twice, order a small sample or a single panel first if the job is large, compare at least two quotes on the same specification of fabric, hardware and fitting, and keep the invoice and warranty card. Confirm delivery and fitting dates in writing, check the finished work in daylight and at night, and ask the supplier what happens if the colour or size differs from the sample. Prices change with fabric costs and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide.
