String Curtain Door | Door Fly Curtain | String Door Curtain

Weight and fixing. A chain curtain is aluminium, heavier still, and it hangs on a header strip screwed to the frame. This hangs on a rod through a pocket, so nothing is drilled. Chain is the commercial answer; string is quieter and softer.

No. The rod pocket takes any rod, pole or wire, so most people use something they already have or buy a tension rod that needs no fixings at all.

A tension rod inside the door reveal. It braces against the two sides of the opening and holds the curtain with nothing screwed into anything.

Yes, with ordinary scissors. Cut it to length, and cut it to shape too if the opening is not square.

Polyester strings do not unravel the way a woven fabric does. Cut them cleanly with sharp scissors and leave them.

Because light string curtains never hang straight. At 590g this one settles quickly, hangs plumb and moves less in a draught, which is what makes it look deliberate rather than temporary.

100% polyester, at 15 strings to the inch. The fibre is eco-friendly and gives off no harmful substances in sunlight, so a doorway in full sun is fine.

It works the same way a chain curtain does: a moving barrier that closes behind you. It is not a sealed screen, so treat it as a deterrent on a busy doorway rather than as a fly screen on a bedroom window.

Yes. The rod pocket works on a window as easily as a doorway, and plenty go up as room dividers instead.

That is one of the more common uses. It marks a space without walling it off and it keeps light and air moving through.

Less than a light one, because of the weight, but it is string and it moves. In an exposed doorway a chain curtain holds better.

No. That is the main thing it has over chain. Chain rattles, string does not.

Easily, and they work it out immediately. There is nothing to catch on and nothing to operate.

Not in normal use. Gather the strings loosely before washing, because that is when a string curtain tangles.

By hand in warm soapy water, gathered rather than loose, then hang it up to dry. Do not put it in a machine on its own.

Polyester holds colour well and the fibre is made not to break down in sunlight. A doorway in full sun is what these are for.

Black or white, same price. White reads light and disappears against a pale wall. Black outlines the opening and shows less dirt in a busy doorway.

One curtain is 100 cm wide. For a wider opening, hang two on the same rod and overlap them slightly in the middle.

280 cm, which is taller than a standard doorway on purpose, so there is length to cut off rather than a gap at the bottom.

Just above it is usual, so it does not gather dust or get walked on. Hang it, mark it, take it down and cut it.

On a covered patio or a porch, yes. Fully exposed to weather all year, it will not last as well as chain, which is aluminium.

Yes, and it is used that way often, along with offices, hotel receptions and event spaces. For a commercial back door that gets constant traffic, chain is the tougher choice.

Some, in the way any string curtain does. It breaks up a sightline without blocking it. Do not buy it as a screen.

Yes, on a tension rod, and it weighs almost nothing to carry.

Yes. Cut it to the curve. That is easier with string than with almost any other kind of curtain.

Two on one rod, overlapped in the middle by a few centimetres so there is no gap where they meet.

Allow five to seven days. Demand runs hard through the warm months and we would rather quote the real number than the optimistic one.

Yes, on a wire or a track through the rod pocket. It is a common way to divide a room where there is no doorway to work with.

Polyester does not hold dirt the way a woven curtain does, and it washes by hand. In a busy or greasy doorway, black shows less than white.
