String Curtain Door

No, and it is the most important thing to know before you buy one. The strands hang loose with gaps between them, so nothing about it seals a doorway. If keeping insects out is the job, buy the magnetic fly screen door instead.

Softening an open doorway. It breaks the sightline, gives you some privacy and lets air move through freely, while you walk straight at it without touching a handle.

People use the names loosely. Ours is a curtain of hanging strands rather than the wide PVC strips you see on a cold store, so it is much lighter and is meant for a home rather than a warehouse.

Black or white. It is the same curtain either way, only the colour differs.

White tends to disappear against a pale frame and a bright room. Black gives a stronger line, and it hides marks better in a doorway that gets used a lot.

You just walk. The strands part around you and settle back on their own weight. There is nothing to push, latch or hold open.

Yes, some. It is a light curtain hanging in an opening, so moving air moves it. That is part of why it suits a doorway where you want the air flowing rather than blocked.

You can, but it will not keep insects out and it will move in the wind. For an external door most people want the magnetic mesh screen instead.

That is where it works best. Pantries, back rooms, a doorway between two spaces where a door would be in the way but an open hole feels unfinished.

It breaks the sightline rather than blocking it. Someone walking past will not get a clear view through, but it is not a closed door and nobody should treat it as one.

Only a little. It filters the light rather than stopping it, so the room behind stays bright.

The supplier does not publish the material for this curtain, so we do not state one. Ask us before you order if that matters to you and we will get it from them.

The supplier does not publish a drop length or width for this listing. Rather than guess, ask us and we will confirm the measurements before you order.

Message us with the height and width of your opening and we will tell you honestly whether it suits. We would rather answer that now than have you send it back.

Most string curtains can be trimmed to length, but because we do not publish the construction for this one we would rather you asked us first than cut it and found out.

It hangs from the top of the door frame. It is a light curtain, so it does not need heavy fixings or any special tools.

Only whatever you use to fix the top rail or hooks to your frame. There is no cutting, drilling through the curtain or assembly involved.

Yes. It comes down as easily as it goes up, which suits rented homes and people who only want it up over summer.

The curtain itself will not. Whether the fixing marks the frame depends on what you fix it with, so choose fixings that suit your frame and your tenancy.

Shake it out, or wipe the strands down with a damp cloth. Because we do not have the material confirmed, ask us before putting it in a washing machine.

Strands can twist if they are pushed around a lot. Running your hand down through the curtain straightens it out again in a few seconds.

It is a hanging curtain, so use the same judgement you would with any cord or curtain near small children and keep it out of reach of cots and beds.

Most pets walk through it happily. A cat may treat it as something to play with, which is worth thinking about before you hang one at cat height.

Yes, and it is a common use because it weighs very little. Just remember it will not keep insects out on the road or on site.

People do that for wide openings. Ask us first so we can check the drop and width work across the span you have.
