Removable liners

Madura’s removable liners remain separate from the
curtain. They may be attached to any Madura model,
permitting the curtain to fall more elegantly and
giving greater protection against sun, cold and noise.
Use black-out liners for maximum darkness.

On a traverse rod
> Attach the liner to the lowest row of heading tape
pockets.

On a rod
> The curtain and liner are hung on the same rings.
> If using curtains with grommets, slide curtain and liner
on rod together.

With “attache-fix”, “Anneau-fix“ and Strap with “Fix”
Hold the curtain and liner together, back to back,
> with “attache-fix” when using a traverse rod
> with “anneau-fix” or straps and “fix” when using a rod.
