What is the difference between lined and interlined curtains?
Interlined curtains have three layers of fabric. The outer or patterned fabric that you see, an inner layer of fabric known as interlining and a rear fabric that is lining. Interlining is used to pad out a lighter weight fabric to give the curtains a fuller look or to give the curtains an extra layer to keep warmth in the room.
Sometimes the interlining is a separate layer from the lining and curtain fabric, but you can get bonded lining fabric which has the interlining bonded to the lining.
Not all curtains have interlining, but most will have a lining of some kind, to either make the curtains hang with fullness, to help to prevent the curtain front fabric from fading or to prevent light leaking into the room.
How do you attach blackout lining to curtains?
Blackout curtain lining is usually sewn to the back of the curtain instead of a regular lining. If your curtains are already lined then a blackout lining can be hung behind the curtains if the track or pole can take the weight of both.

What are thermal lined curtains?

Can I machine wash thermal curtains?
We do not recommend machine washing curtains as often the lining will shrink at a different rate to the curtain fabric. Curtains are usually dry clean only.
