How does the concealed hanging hardware work with my existing curtain rod?
The reinforced 3.5-inch pleated header features concealed rear hanging tabs and hook pockets completely hidden behind the front velvet pleats. You can slide your standard curtain rod directly through the hidden back tabs or attach the concealed hooks to your existing drapery rings—either way, zero ugly metal grommets show from the front.
What exact shade of red is the Cosari VelourDrape?
It is a rich, architectural deep wine red and merlot burgundy—never a bright cherry or fire-engine red. The plush 380 GSM pile has a soft matte finish with a subtle directional sheen that looks sophisticated in bright daylight and warm and moody under evening lamp light.
Do I need to steam these curtains when they arrive?
No front steaming is required. Thanks to the heavy 380 GSM fabric weight and weighted bottom hem, the outer velvet face hangs smooth right out of the package, and any minor folding lines relax naturally under gravity within 48 to 72 hours.
How much sunlight and TV glare do they actually block?
In our 1,000-lumen backlight and afternoon window tests, the high-density triple-weave velvet blocked 92.4% of incoming sunlight, UV rays, and streetlamp glare with zero weave pinholes—eliminating afternoon wash-out on OLED and QLED TVs while keeping a soft, un-rubbery fabric drape.
Will the heavy velvet stretch slightly after hanging?
Yes—like all genuine heavyweight (380 GSM) velvet drapery, gravity causes the fibers to relax and drop by about 0.25 to 0.5 inches during the first 7 days. We recommend setting your rod or hooks so the bottom hem sits 0.5 inches above the floor on Day 1, which settles into a tailored floor kiss by Day 7.
How does the 30-Day Home Light Trial work?
Because you can only truly judge how deep wine-red velvet interacts with your wall paint, floors, and afternoon light once it is hanging in your own home, you have 30 full days to hang and live with the Cosari VelourDrape. If you aren't thrilled with how they transform your room, return them for a full 100% refund.
