FAQ - Ali Curtains UAE

Products

What types of curtains do you offer?

We offer a wide range of curtain types including sheer curtains, blackout curtains, room darkening curtains, thermal curtains, velvet curtains, silk curtains, linen curtains, and custom-designed curtains. Each type serves different purposes from light filtering to complete privacy and insulation.

What is the difference between curtains and drapes?

While the terms are often used interchangeably, curtains are typically made of lighter fabrics and hang from curtain rods, while drapes are made from heavier materials, are lined, and often extend to the floor. Drapes provide better light blocking and insulation compared to standard curtains.

Do you offer motorized curtain options?

Yes, we offer motorized options for both curtains and blinds. Our motorized systems can be controlled via remote control, wall switches, or integrated with smart home systems like Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit for voice control and scheduling.

What fabrics do you use for your curtains?

We source premium fabrics from around the world, including cotton, linen, silk, velvet, polyester blends, and specialty fabrics with UV protection. All our fabrics are carefully selected for durability, color retention, and aesthetic appeal. We offer fabric samples so you can see and feel the quality before making a decision.

Can you create custom designs that match my interior?

Custom designs are our specialty. Our design team works closely with you to create curtains that perfectly complement your interior design. We can match specific colors, patterns, and styles to create a cohesive look for your space. We also offer custom embroidery and trim options for a truly unique finish.

How does the design process work?

Our team creates design proposals with fabric recommendations and style options. Once you approve the design, we proceed with production and installation.

Do you provide window measurement services?

Our design consultants are experts in window treatments and interior design. They'll consider your home's architecture, existing décor, lighting conditions, and functional requirements to recommend the perfect curtain styles, fabrics, and hardware that enhance your space.

Do you work with interior designers?

Installation

How long does the installation process take?

The installation time varies depending on the size and complexity of your project. For standard residential installations, we typically complete the work within 1-2 days. Larger projects or custom designs may take longer. Our team will provide you with a specific timeframe during your consultation.

Who performs the installation?

All installations are performed by our own trained and experienced installation technicians, not subcontractors. Our installers are experts in handling all types of window treatments and take great care to ensure proper installation and functionality.

Is there any mess or damage during installation?

Our installation team takes great care to minimize any mess or disruption to your home. We use drop cloths to protect your floors and furniture, and we clean up thoroughly after installation. Our technicians are trained to install hardware with minimal impact to your walls and window frames.

Do I need to prepare my home before installation?

We recommend clearing the area around your windows to provide our installers with easy access. Remove any fragile items from window sills and nearby surfaces. For large installations, moving furniture away from the windows can be helpful, though our team can assist with this if needed.

Can you install curtains on unusual window shapes?

Yes, we specialize in creating solutions for unusual window shapes including arched windows, bay windows, corner windows, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Our experienced team can design and install custom window treatments for virtually any window configuration.

Maintenance

How do I clean and maintain my curtains?

Cleaning methods depend on the fabric type. Most of our curtains can be professionally dry cleaned, while some fabrics may be machine washable. We provide specific care instructions for each product. Regular dusting with a vacuum cleaner's soft brush attachment helps maintain appearance between cleanings.

How often should curtains be cleaned?

We recommend light dusting every 1-2 weeks and a thorough cleaning every 6-12 months, depending on your environment. Homes with pets, smokers, or in dusty areas may require more frequent cleaning. Regular maintenance extends the life and appearance of your window treatments.

Do you offer cleaning services for curtains?

Yes, we offer professional cleaning services for all our window treatments. Our team can remove, clean, and reinstall your curtains, ensuring they're handled properly and maintain their quality and appearance. We use specialized cleaning methods appropriate for each fabric type.

How do I maintain motorized curtain systems?

Motorized systems require minimal maintenance. Keep tracks and moving parts free from dust and debris with occasional gentle cleaning. Batteries in remote controls should be replaced as needed. For any operational issues, contact our service team rather than attempting repairs yourself.

How long will my curtains last?

With proper care, our curtains typically last 7-10 years or longer. Factors affecting longevity include fabric quality, sun exposure, cleaning frequency, and usage patterns. Our premium fabrics are selected for durability and color retention to maximize the lifespan of your window treatments.

Payment & Warranty

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept various payment methods including credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), bank transfers, and cash payments. For large projects, we offer installment payment options. A 50% deposit is typically required to begin production, with the balance due upon installation.

What warranty do you offer on your products?

All our curtains and blinds come with a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and hardware. Our motorized systems include a 3-year warranty on motors and electronic components. The warranty covers replacement parts and labor for repairs. Normal wear and tear, improper use, or damage from cleaning are not covered.

What is your return policy?

Since all our window treatments are custom-made to your specifications, they cannot be returned for refund. However, if there are any defects in materials or workmanship, we will repair or replace the product under our warranty. We ensure measurements and designs are approved by you before production begins.

Do you offer any maintenance packages?
