How to double track curtains

Our readymade and custom options are great for those wanting to add fullness, softness and the many more benefits of double tracking. Read our complete guide to double tracking.
Why should you double track?
Having two curtain options for one window gives you control over light, temperature and appearance year-round. Sheer curtains are gorgeous and provide a delicate light filter, as well as daytime privacy and protection of your furnishings. While this is wonderful during the day, it isn’t ideal at night. Putting a curtain with thermal properties on another track behind the sheer will provide you with insulation, night-time privacy and dim-out or blockout features.
